How to Choose the Right Coffee Machine for a Café
When selecting a coffee maker for a café or coffee shop, think about the type of drinks you’ll serve and how many customers you need to handle. Consider:
- Volume Capacity: Smaller cafés may only need a two-group espresso machine, while busy shops benefit from three-group or high-capacity models.
- Skill Level: Traditional espresso machines give baristas full control, while bean to cup systems reduce training needs and improve consistency.
- Menu Variety: If your menu includes lattes, flat whites, and iced drinks, choose equipment that supports milk texturing and multiple drink options.
- Space: Counter space is limited in many cafés, so measure carefully before choosing a machine.
- Support and Maintenance: Choose a machine backed by reliable servicing and warranties to keep your business running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best type of coffee machine for a café?
Most cafés use commercial espresso machines because they allow baristas to produce high-quality drinks consistently. For smaller shops or venues without trained staff, bean to cup machines can also be a strong option.
How many group heads does a café coffee machine need?
A small café may only need a two-group machine, while a busy coffee shop often requires three or more groups to handle peak periods efficiently.
Can I use a bean to cup machine in a coffee shop?
Yes. Bean to cup machines are suitable for cafés that want to simplify training and ensure consistent drinks. However, many specialty cafés prefer traditional espresso machines for more control.
What other equipment does a café need besides a coffee machine?
Grinders, water filtration systems, and milk frothing equipment are essential. These support consistent flavour, protect your machine, and help baristas create quality drinks.
Do café coffee machines require plumbing?
Most commercial espresso machines are plumbed into the mains for continuous use, although some compact models use refillable water tanks.
How much does a professional coffee machine for a café cost?
Costs vary depending on size, features, and brand. Entry-level machines may start in the low thousands, while premium multi-group models represent a larger investment for high-volume shops.
