In the market for a commercial-class espresso machine, but don’t know where to start? In this primer, Gail talks to us about the four primary considerations …
Wonderful – can’t wait. You guys are doing great things for coffee.
I’m still ogling at my favorite cafe’s S1 Epoca. Smart of them to have
bought the red finish.
I’m not familiar with it and how its internals are designed so, sadly,
can’t comment on how it fits into the grand scheme – Kat
We’ll be working through a Choose Your Own Adventure series during 2013
that will focus on selecting a commercial machine. This is just a primer. –

Hi Gail, thanks for all your videos., quick question, what can you say
about Carimali “Tema style” commercial Espresso Machine? Also with the
Carimali K1 grinder? TIA…
I know right, I wasn’t expecting it at all, my boss told no one, just
happened to come in with a wooden crate and just smiles at us.
Oui 🙂 – Kat
The caffe I work at has a Vibiemme Replica with two groups. I was wondering
where you would place that machine in the spectrum you mentioned?
rancilio levas are beastly
looks like a mahlkonig K30 vario
what is the commercial grinder you showed
so luckyy!
Haha – totally agree! – Kat
We just got a new Slayer in, it’s such a stunning machine. Great
information though. 🙂
Since the home machines don’t give duty cycle or rating, I am just curious
what a Silvia, CC1, or Via Venezia handle per hour? I feel like a Saeco
recycles in a few minutes which would be 30 an hour… But the pump is
probably the limiting factor. I promise I’m not asking to try and use an
SBDU for commercial use, I’m just curious!
hey Kat, call me crazy (and don’t tell gail this or she might get mad) (;
but my commercial machine i use 2 times a week and probably only make 40
drinks a hour, and i use a ec155… hahaha. it actually does a lot better
than you’d think!
Super awesome!!!! – Kat
Thank you great video, straight to the point
We haven’t used this equipment and aren’t familiar with it, so sadly, no
input for you. Sorry! – Kat
You could kind of extrapolate from our ‘how much time to make 4 lattes’
videos, because that includes the time to recover, etc. You’d also have to
keep refilling those tanks like crazy! 🙂 – Kat
I can’t really answer this, as it’s more about your technique and not as
much about the machine. – Kat
You’re welcome! 😀 – Kat
Thank you!! – Kat
Cool! Yeah, folks always use smaller machines but we can’t sell them
smaller machines because otherwise they’d be on our cases for not selling
them a machine that does what they need to do 😉 But we’ve heard of every
machine we sell being used commercially in some way or another 😀 – Kat
What he said 😀 – Kat
Great information as always!!
You’re welcome! – Kat
Wow, really well done! You two sure know your stuff. Minor quibble: would
be nice to see – if even briefly – an example of a machine (or two) in each
price range.
Thank you! – Kat
Mahlkonig K30 Vario – Kat
What commercial grinder was that beast, don’t recognize it?
