Buying Guide

Decide between espresso vs. drip

Espresso machines use pressure systems (look for features like 20-bar pumps) and often include milk frothers, while drip coffee makers prioritize batch capacity such as 12-cup glass carafes

Check build materials and durability

Stainless-steel housings and borosilicate glass carafes resist heat and staining better than cheaper plastics for commercial or heavy-use environments

Evaluate pressure and extraction features

Higher pump pressure (e.g., 20-bar) and a reliable portafilter help with crema and consistent espresso extraction; ensure the machine’s design supports stable pressure delivery

Look for integrated milk frothing

Integrated steam wands or milk frothers expand drink options and are useful for small commercial settings where cappuccinos and lattes are needed

Prioritize capacity and footprint

Choose a machine with a matching brew capacity (12-cup drip vs. single-serve espresso) and a compact design if counter space is limited in a commercial prep area
