I roast commercially for about 2000+ online subscription customers and never purchased an espresso machine.

Recently I opened a small retail storefront and I need to buy a quality double boiler espresso machine. Ideally semi-automatic. Im looking for something sturdy that is not know for breaking after only 1 year of operation.
My budget is around $20,000

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Unfortunately no such animal exists... it really depends on how many drinks you will be serving per day. If your low volume take a look at a Rocket 58 or similar machine. Keep in mind your $500-1000 for a good espresso grinder. Plus all the other extras...

Forestcall,

If you are doing 2000+ subscriptions per month, then that's fantastic! This means you should have steady cash flow and buy what you need.

A reasonable price for a solid two group (proven, very good, but not "top of the line") and a grinder new would be $11,000-$11,500. Used, quality machine and grinder maybe $7,000 to $7,500. Also. If your volume will never top 100 drinks, you could do a good commercial 1 group and grinder for $5000-$6000. I wouldn't get a used 1 group. So depending the whole thing used/new bigger/smaller will range from $5000 to $11,500. That's realistic.

Also, on a storefront, retail, commercial operation -- when you are considering costs think about the value of those costs both short term and long term. Often "cheapest" quickly becomes the most expensive.
