What are the three main commercial espresso machine types?
Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines: Semi-automatic machines require the user to manually start and stop the espresso extraction process, but they have built-in pumps to maintain consistent pressure. Operators need to grind the coffee, tamp it into the portafilter, and then manually run the extraction process. These machines provide more control over the brewing process, giving baristas the autonomy to adjust variables such as grind size, water temperature, and extraction time.
Auto-Volumetric or Automatic Espresso Machines: Auto-Volumetric espresso machines are designed to automate the espresso extraction process to a greater extent. They typically have programmable settings for both water volume and extraction time, allowing baristas to craft consistent shots with minimal effort. These machines include volumetric dosing, and programmable buttons, making them well-suited for high-volume environments where speed and consistency are crucial.
Super-Automatic Espresso Machines: Super-automatic machines handle almost every aspect of the espresso-making process, from grinding the coffee beans to frothing milk for cappuccinos and lattes. They usually have touchscreen interfaces or programmable options for selecting different drink options, and they can produce espresso shots at the push of a button. Super-automatic machines are particularly popular in self-serve or high-volume environments where ease of use and consistency are paramount.
It's worth noting that within each type, there can be variations and additional features that cater to specific needs or preferences, such as multiple group heads for simultaneous brewing, steam wands for milk steaming, or advanced temperature control systems.
Factors to consider before purchasing Commercial Espresso Machines
When choosing a commercial espresso machine, consider factors such as price, capacity, type (manual, semi-automatic, fully automatic), boiler type (heat exchanger, dual, or multi-boiler), number of group heads, build quality, maintenance, brand reputation, and additional features. Determine the volume of espresso you'll be serving, the level of control and automation desired, available space, and the durability of the machine. Research reputable brands, read customer reviews, and consider the availability of maintenance and technical support before making your purchase.
