Welcome turkana
I don't have any experience with the machine you mentioned.
How much space do you have alloted for your machine? What type of power will you have?
I am currently building out a van, and faced the same question recently. Space limitations, power requirements, and price helped find several machines that I then went and researched more.

Turkana,
It is good you are asking questions and researching this now. When purchasing a generator you want to make sure it can power everything in your unit. You also want to make sure you aren't running a full load all day long.
" This model runs at 3600 RPM and generates 5 kW (5 kVA) 60 Hz, of Standby (emergency or maximum) power and 4.5 kW prime (continuous) power at a primary voltage of 120/240 VAC, single phase, 60 Hertz, with 5% voltage accuracy. "
Commercial Mobile Generator, Onan, 5.5 HDKBB2860 (Q-D), ONCM-005D101, CMQD if this is the generator you are looking at you might face power constraints
Are you going to hard wire the generator or just use the receptacles it comes with? Basically just need to figure out if your espresso machine voltage. If you are ordering your machine new, some of them can be configured to your specs.

2 Group machine is 4,000 W 16 A
I have not used, seen, or looked at any reviews for this machine. My concern is it seems like a very low draw for a commercial 2 group machine. Find someone that has one and ask about recovery time.
