The Coffee Machine

The commercial espresso machines you see on this site are refurbished rental coffee machines. Rental, by the way is a great way to start out in the espresso game!

No risk of believing some salesman’s inventive blabber -try out the machine first, then you will know how good it is!

Frightened about all the blather from some people, looks difficult? Its not but you can give it a try with us -from 1 day upwards to as long as you want.

worried about money down the drain - don’t be - if you want to buy the machine you can have a full credit for the rental paid to date~ you can’t loose.

Purchasing a new commercial espresso machine can be a trying time- there are many many brands being sold on the UK market.

Brands range from Cimbali, San Marco, Ranchillio - how do you choose which one? Which is the best espresso machine in the UK?

I would of course say the machines at Verde Coffee, but that aside the questions that need to be answered, I think, are

- How long is the warranty [ make sure its on-site ]

- What does the warranty cover

-What is the service back up

- Are the Engineers employed by the supplier
The technology is stable and common across most manufacturers so the most important thing to look for is finish - Avoid plastic panels which can look good when the machine is new but deteriorate rapidly so that after a few months the machine can look tatty.

Enquire about the galvanisation on the frame - the one item that cannot be replaced if it gets rusty.

Finally get an indication of spare part prices - the Faema spares are “eye watering”!
