The right commercial coffee machine is the one that keeps up with your morning peak without the barista waiting on the machine. This guide answers the questions café and restaurant operators ask us most about commercial espresso machines and grinders, with machines from Bezzera, Rancilio, Slayer, Wega and Isomac and grinders from Mazzer and Ceado.
Start from the drinks you sell and when you sell them, then count groups.
A café that lives on its morning rush needs enough groups and steam for the busiest 15 minutes, a grinder per blend, and milk storage within reach of the barista.
Restaurants usually pour fewer drinks in tighter bursts at the end of service. A compact commercial machine and one quality grinder often do the job.
Functions pour many drinks at once. Plan hot water capacity, the number of baristas and a power supply at the event site, not just the machine.
Short answers here; the full method is in our coffee machine guide.
Estimate the drinks ordered in your busiest 15 minutes and how many baristas will work the machine. A group only helps if someone is free to use it, and milk drinks also need steam capacity.
The grinder decides shot consistency as much as the machine. Busy bars often run a separate grinder for decaf or a second blend. Mazzer and Ceado commercial grinders are in the range.
Most commercial espresso machines need a mains water connection, drainage and a suitable electrical supply. Water treatment helps protect boilers in hard-water areas. Confirm the exact model's installation requirements before you order.

Quick answers for café, restaurant and catering operators.
Work from the drinks ordered in your busiest 15 minutes and the number of baristas on the machine at that time. Extra groups only help if someone is free to use them, and milk drinks also depend on steam capacity.
