Wize Buying Guide for Barista

Espresso Maker for Commercial Use

Deciding which espresso maker to buy for commercial use involves more than just looking for a good steam wand. You must first make sure that your business can accommodate your new machine - check to see that you have running water, a floor drain and 220 volt service in place before you install an espresso maker. If you do not have these things, you must have them installed by a professional, a process that usually takes 2 to 3 weeks.

After your business is prepared for the electrical and plumbing demands of an espresso maker, you must choose a machine that has all of the necessary components and attachments that you will need to meet the needs of your customers. Commercial espresso makers generally have more accessories than typical home machines, so be sure to find one with a sturdy base, efficient frothing equipment, a grinder if you are using whole beans and specialty espresso cups. Coffee drinkers who purchase drinks from commercial vendors will be discriminating, so look for a quality espresso maker that can exceed your customers' expectations and maintain the high standard that your business deserves.
