Commercial espresso machines by brand

Bezzera commercial espresso machines

Bezzera has manufactured traditional espresso machines in Milan since 1901 — the original inventor of the espresso machine. The commercial range covers 1, 2 and 3 group configurations across multiple boiler types, suited to everything from small independent coffee shops to high-volume hospitality environments. Key commercial models include the Bezzera Moda (heavy-duty, AISI 304 stainless steel, built for consistent shot production across busy services), the Bezzera Otto 2 Group (compact 2-group for coffee shops that need commercial productivity without excessive counter space), and the Bezzera BZ10 PM (1 group, professional-grade, suited to smaller venues and starter espresso setups). See the full Bezzera coffee machine range.

The commercial range covers the Sanremo F18 SB and F18 MB for high-output café service, the Sanremo Opera 2.0 for competition-level control and multi-boiler precision, and the Sanremo Café Racer for high-volume service with a distinctive visual presence behind the counter.

How to choose a commercial espresso machine

Number of groups

The number of groups determines how many espresso shots can be pulled simultaneously. A 1 group machine suits low-to-medium volume — typically up to 80–100 covers per day. A 2 group machine is the standard choice for most independent coffee shops, handling continuous service during peaks without recovery delays. A 3 group machine suits high-volume venues, busy restaurants and any site where multiple baristas work side by side. Choosing the right group count is the single most important spec decision — undersizing creates bottlenecks during service; oversizing adds unnecessary cost and counter space.

Boiler type

Heat exchanger (HX) boilers use a single boiler for both steam and brewing, maintaining brewing temperature through a heat exchange circuit — suited to consistent, medium-volume service. Dual boiler and multi-boiler machines have independent boilers for steam and brewing, giving precise temperature control per group — essential in specialty coffee environments where extraction temperature directly affects flavour. For commercial café service, dual or multi-boiler is the professional standard.

Installation and support

All commercial espresso machines require plumbed water connection and correct pressure setup. We provide professional installation across the UK — including plumbing, pressure calibration, flow rate setting and initial machine programming. Barista training is also available at the time of installation. For ongoing support, our UK-based technical team provides servicing and spare parts. See our coffee machine spare parts range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What commercial espresso machines do you stock?

We stock commercial espresso machines from Bezzera and Sanremo — including the Bezzera Moda, Otto, BZ10 PM and BZ35 PM, and the Sanremo F18 SB, F18 MB, Opera 2.0, Café Racer and Cube R. Refurbished options are also available, including the Iberital IB7 2 group. All available with professional installation and barista training. Contact us for current pricing and availability.

What is the difference between a commercial and domestic espresso machine?

Commercial espresso machines are built for continuous, high-volume use — typically hours of uninterrupted service per day. They use larger, more powerful boilers, commercial-grade group heads, rotary pumps (rather than the vibration pumps found in home machines), and heavier-duty internal components. They are designed to be plumbed directly into a mains water supply, require professional installation, and are built to be serviced and maintained over years of heavy use. Domestic machines are designed for occasional home use and typically cannot sustain the throughput or temperature consistency required in a professional environment.

How much does a commercial espresso machine cost?

Commercial espresso machines range from around £1,500–£3,000 for entry-level 1 group models, through £4,000–£8,000 for mid-range 2 group machines, up to £15,000+ for high-end multi-boiler machines like the Sanremo Opera 2.0. Refurbished commercial espresso machines are available from significantly lower price points with the same commercial performance and full warranty coverage. Contact us for specific pricing on any model.

Do commercial espresso machines need professional installation?

Yes — all commercial espresso machines require plumbed water connection, correct water pressure (typically 3–4 bar incoming), and initial calibration of pump pressure, flow rates and boiler temperature. Incorrect installation affects extraction quality, machine longevity and warranty validity. We provide professional installation across the UK, including plumbing, pressure calibration and machine programming. Installation is available at the time of purchase — contact us to discuss options.

Can I lease a commercial espresso machine?

Yes — leasing options are available on selected commercial espresso machines. Leasing spreads the cost across monthly payments and can include maintenance and service agreements, making it a popular choice for new coffee shops and hospitality venues managing startup costs. Contact our team on 0800 44 22 99 to discuss leasing options and current availability.
