Which questions should I ask?

There are 4 key questions you should ask, don’t keep them to yourself otherwise you could end up with the wrong fit. Let’s see exactly what these questions are.

What do I need the machine for?

The purpose for your chosen machine is integral, you need to consider how often you’ll be using it and what your desired output level is.

How often you use it will affect how long it will last. Smaller budget-friendly machines are best suited for homes and small businesses as the wear and tear will be minimal. While constant use, in a cafe for example, will require a sturdier machine.

Your needed output will determine the size of the machine you need. In an office environment the machine might be used consistently throughout the day but there is no need to make multiple coffees at the same time. In this case you’re still able to choose a smaller machine, saving you both space and money.

What’s my budget?

When deciding to purchase a commercial coffee machine for sale, your budget is a key factor. Commercial coffee machines can start at $3000 and go all the way up to $30,000.

Every machine has different functions and coffee grinding capabilities. Cheaper machines will not be able to keep up with a high traffic business while more expensive models will be overkill for a small business.

Buying may not always be the right option either. Some companies may offer short and long term rentals. If you’re new to the coffee game or if your machine is out for repairs then a short term rental is also a viable option.

Will repairs be expensive?

When it comes to repairs, it’s a good idea to ask us about replacement parts and repairs during its warranty period. If the warranty is still valid, your machine will be sent in for repairs and replaced with a short-term loan machine to keep you operating.
