There are two purposes for an espresso machine: for personal use in your home and for professional use in a business (like a coffee shop).  The espresso machines differ for both of these reasons, so it is important to know the differences so that you can compare the best commercial espresso machines for purchase.

Under normal circumstances you usually will not find a commercial espresso machine for less than 00.  Although this is one of the factors that determine whether an espresso machine is for home or commercial use, you need to be careful because there are many fancy home espresso machines that are in this price range as well.

The biggest difference that sets commercial espresso machines apart from the home espresso machines, other than the large price, is the features that you can find in the super-automatic commercial espresso machines.  With these super machines, every step that goes into the espresso making process is done fully automatically and in a very short period of time.  With a commercial espresso machine, all you have to do is add the coffee beans to the hopper as needed, and make sure there is a cup underneath the pour spout to catch the espresso when it comes out.

Another difference is the size of the espresso maker.  You will find that most of your home espresso machines are closer to the side the actual coffee pot. Your commercial espresso machines are normally quite a bit bigger than these.  The larger size is necessary to keep it busy making one cup after another without having to refill it.

Most of your commercial espresso machines are also going to have an option for a direct water hook up.  Most of your home espresso machines you have to fill by hand.  The constant water supply from a in-line hook up keeps the tank on commercial espresso makers filled so that there is always a consistent supply available.

If you own a coffee pot, you know that there are some that will automatically shut off the burner after a certain amount of time.  This option is pretty necessary to keep the burner from going bad.  A bad burner is not only a fire hazard, but it is also not as useful when it cannot maintain the temperature of the coffee.  This also applies to your home espresso machines.  For a commercial espresso machine, however, this is not an issue.  This is because commercial espresso machines are designed to stay on for long periods of time without hurting any of the parts.

The quality of the espresso that comes out of a commercial espresso machine is probably the best benefit.  These commercial machines are made to provide excellent cups of coffee every time one is made. Every cup stays the same quality day after day.

You can get commercial espresso makers for sale in all the same styles as your home espresso machines.  You can choose the antique style manual version or the semi-automatic versions.  The automatic and super-automatic versions will be the ones that will provide you with the best benefits, especially if you are running a coffee-based business.
