Capacity Of the Espresso Coffee Machine
The capacity of the table top commercial espresso coffee vending machine you should choose depends on the scale of your business.
Will your café be serving hundreds of ‘to-go’ cups every day? Are you a local roastery serving speciality brews to a small number of discerning customers? How much space do you have to store the machine?
How many baristas do you want to be able to operate the machine simultaneously? These are all important questions to ask before choosing your espresso machine.
The machine’s capacity is dictated by the number of group heads and the size of the boiler. Most professional coffee machines have 2, 3 or 4 group heads. The number of group heads dictates how many baristas can work the machine simultaneously, and each head can produce 2 drinks at the same time. Do keep in mind that a higher number isn’t always better as you might be limited by the space available behind the counter.
Boiler capacity is also an important factor in choosing the right coffee machine. It should be large enough to provide you with enough hot water during peak hours. Usually, the greater number of heads a machine has, the larger its boiler capacity.
You should also keep the size of the machine in mind. While a large machine will cost more and require more space, it could endear you to your staff and improve service time.
Ease Of Use and Maintenance
As with all professional, high performance equipment, maintenance is a key issue. This refers to both everyday routines like cleaning the machine, as well as the ease of getting it repaired in case of technical issues.
In conclusion
The best choice depends on your specific business requirements and your personal preference. But our personal pick would be the La Spaziale S50 Barista 2 Group Coffee Machine.
