Best Commercial Super Automatic Espresso Machines

[jcddouglas]

I'm looking for an espresso machine that has dual coffee grinders built in (so I can offer regular and decaf espresso), automatically pulls the espresso shot and disposes of it in a built-in bin, has a hot water dispenser built-in (most do), and has the automatic steam wand that automatically shuts off when the milk is at the desired temp. I've discovered that these options indicate that I'm wanting a super-automatic espresso machine (I believe) but I don't need it to dispense the milk for me as I will be making the rest of the drink myself (I know that many times the milk side of it is optional). Also, being a commercial machine, I'd like for the machine to be able to connect to a water line and a drain. Therefore, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a commercial brand/model that would have enough output for a busy cafe at a reasonable price; preferably between $5,000-$15,000. I appreciate any information!

There are tons of them out there and it would be more close to 15k depends on how many cup you are planning on serving.
I would recommend to talk to company in your area. Most of them are good and durable but you will eventually need servicing on those. You would want to purchase a machine that can be serviced without huge down time.

Good luck
