                  What is a Budget Commercial Espresso Machine?

                  To use a car analogy, a Budget Espresso Machine is kind of like the Toyota Camry of the coffee word. It may not have the features to get the best out of a fickle light roast espresso, but they’re capable of producing very good espresso - especially if you’re using medium-to-darker roasts. 

                  The reduced complexity of these machines also means that they’re easier and less costly to maintain. Using our car analogy again, more mechanics know how to work on a Toyota than a Ferrari or Porsche, and the parts for a Toyota Camry are certainly going to be less expensive. 

                  Budget cespresso machines are typically a great fit for cafes that mostly produce larger milk-based drinks rather than smaller espresso-forward drinks. For example, if your cappuccino size is larger than 8 ounces, these machines are probably for you. They’re also a good fit for those who don’t require a “show piece” on the bar. Budget commercial espresso machines typically have simpler frames that don’t have the bar presence of more expensive models.
