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”!
