Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Coffee Machines
What does a commercial coffee machine specialist do?
A commercial coffee machine specialist designs, supplies, installs, and commissions professional coffee machines and supporting equipment. This ensures machines are correctly set up for performance, reliability, and consistency—whether in cafés, restaurants, bars, or mobile coffee units.
What types of commercial coffee machines are available?
Commercial coffee machines typically fall into three main categories:
-
Traditional espresso machines – manual control, preferred by trained baristas
-
Bean-to-cup machines – automated operation with consistent results
-
Filter or batch brew systems – ideal for high-volume service
The right choice depends on service speed, staff skill level, and desired coffee quality.
What is better: bean-to-cup or traditional espresso machines?
Neither is universally better—it depends on your operation. Bean-to-cup machines offer speed, consistency, and minimal training, while traditional machines provide greater control and are often preferred in specialist coffee environments focused on craft and presentation.
Can commercial coffee machines be gas-powered?
Most commercial coffee machines are electric. Gas-powered coffee machines do exist but are far less common and typically used in specialist or mobile applications. Site conditions and regulations determine suitability.
Do you install both gas and electric coffee machines?
Yes. Coffee machines are installed according to manufacturer specifications and site service availability. Electrical capacity, water supply, drainage, and ventilation are all assessed during the site survey.
Can you design and install coffee machines for food trucks and coffee vans?
Yes. Coffee machine installation services are available for food trucks, coffee vans, and mobile catering units. These installations require careful planning around power supply, water storage, drainage, and space efficiency.

Yes. Staff training can be provided to ensure correct machine operation, daily cleaning, and basic troubleshooting. Proper training improves consistency, reduces breakdowns, and extends equipment lifespan.
What regulations apply to commercial coffee machine installation?
Installations must comply with health & safety requirements, electrical safety standards, and manufacturer guidelines. Water quality and drainage must also meet hygiene expectations in commercial environments.
How do I start a commercial coffee machine project?
The first step is a site survey. This allows power capacity, water supply, drainage, space, and workflow requirements to be assessed before equipment selection and installation.
Do you offer site surveys and quotations?
Yes. A free site survey and quotation is provided to assess your setup, discuss machine options, and supply accurate pricing before work begins.
What measurements or information are needed for coffee machine installation?
Key considerations include counter space, machine dimensions, electrical capacity, water connection points, drainage routes, and grinder placement. These are typically confirmed during the site survey.
How much does a commercial coffee machine installation cost?
Costs depend on machine type, supporting equipment, service requirements, and installation complexity. Investing in correct installation helps protect equipment warranties and ensure long-term performance.
