Commercial coffee equipment
Everything behind your coffee bar
We carry the commercial coffee equipment most cafes need, from the espresso machine to cold brew on tap. Tap a brand to see its lineup.
01
Espresso machines
The center of your bar. Choose by drinks per hour and counter space: most coffee shops run a 2-group machine, busy shops a 3-group.
02
Espresso grinders
As important as the machine. On-demand grinders dose fresh for every shot; grind-by-weight models add consistency during the rush.
03
Batch brewers
Fast, consistent drip coffee for high volume. Pair with a bulk grinder for brewed coffee and retail bags.
04
Super-automatic machines
Push-button espresso and milk drinks with consistent results. Ideal for grab-and-go counters, kiosks and high staff turnover.
ThermoplanHLF
05
Pour-over & specialty
Automated pour-over for a specialty menu without tying up a barista.

06
Cold brew & nitro
Cold brew on tap adds a high-margin drink with very little labor during service.

What equipment do I need to start a coffee shop?
Most coffee shops need a commercial espresso machine, at least one espresso grinder, a batch brewer with a bulk grinder, a water supply and drain, water filtration, a dedicated electrical circuit and smallwares such as tampers, pitchers and scales. Many shops add a super-automatic machine, pour-over or cold brew on tap. See our complete equipment guide.
What is the best espresso machine for a coffee shop?
It depends on your volume, menu and budget. Most coffee shops choose a 2-group commercial espresso machine; very busy shops choose a 3-group. We sell La Marzocco and Astoria espresso machines, and Thermoplan super-automatics for push-button service. Book a free consultation and we will recommend a model.
