TRADITIONAL ESPRESSO MACHINES

The traditional espresso machine is the workhorse of the speciality coffee shop and has been for decades with minor variations and refinements over the years. This beating heart of the shop is what makes a café a coffee shop.

Essentially, these coffee machines are large boilers plumbed into a water supply with a pump and group heads which deliver the water at pressure through a portafilter to produce the coffee. Most espresso machines now come with a built-in separate tank to feed a steam wand and the 1950s creations, which looked like something from a sci-fi B movie, are now smooth, chrome pieces of art sitting on your coffee bar. We offer coffee machines for all budgets and settings. Contact us for advice.

Why Buy Traditional Espresso Machines?

When it comes to espresso, there are two main types of espresso machines – traditional and pod-based. While both have their pros and cons, we believe that traditional espresso machines offer a number of advantages that make them the better choice for most businesses. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider investing in a traditional machine:

1. Better Coffee Quality
There’s no denying that pod-based machines are convenient – all you need to do is pop in a pods and press a button. However, this convenience comes at a cost – the coffee quality is simply not as good as what you’ll get from a traditional machine. With a traditional espresso machine, you have complete control over the brewing process, which allows you to create a truly unique and flavourful cup of coffee.

2. More Customization Options
Another advantage of traditional espresso machines is that they offer more customisation options than pod-based machines. With a traditional machine, you can experiment with different grinds, doses, and brewing times to find the perfect recipe for your business. This flexibility means that you can always offer your customers the perfect cup of coffee, no matter their preferences.

3. Lower Operating Costs
While traditional espresso machines may have a higher initial cost than pod-based machines, they tend to be much cheaper to operate in the long run. This is because you only need to purchase coffee beans and other supplies once, whereas pod-based machines require ongoing purchases of coffee pods. Over time, these ongoing costs can add up, making traditional espresso machines a more cost-effective option.

4. Better for the Environment
Another reason to choose a traditional espresso machine is that they are better for the environment than pod-based machines. This is because pod-based machines can generate a lot of waste – each coffee pod can only be used once and then must be disposed of. Traditional espresso machines, on the other hand, use reusable filters and coffee grounds that can be composted or recycled.

5. More Reliable
Finally, traditional espresso machines are simply more reliable than their pod-based counterparts. This is because they have fewer moving parts and are less likely to experience problems over time. If you’re looking for a machine that will stand the test of time, a traditional espresso machine is the way to go.

As you can see, there are many reasons to choose a traditional espresso machine. If you’re looking for the best possible coffee quality, customisation options, and reliability, a traditional machine is the way to go.
