Refurbished & Used Espresso Machines

Most Commercial Espresso Machines require a dedicated 208V or 240V electrical circuit, with amperage requirements ranging from 20A to 60A depending on group count and boiler size. Single-phase and three-phase configurations vary by model. Before purchasing from the Commercial Espresso Machines collection, consult with a licensed electrician to ensure your space can support the machine's power requirements. Coffee Machine Depot's team can also provide wiring spec sheets for any machine to share with your electrician prior to installation.

Commercial Espresso Machines require daily, weekly, and quarterly maintenance to perform at their best. Daily tasks include backflushing group heads, cleaning portafilters and baskets, purging and wiping steam wands, and emptying drip trays. Weekly tasks include deep cleaning group head gaskets and shower screens. Quarterly or annually, boilers should be descaled, group head gaskets replaced, and a full service performed by a certified technician. Neglecting maintenance on machines in the Commercial Espresso Machines collection is the leading cause of premature failure — a proper routine protects your investment and shot quality.

A Commercial Espresso Machine is only as good as the grinder paired with it. For commercial use, you need a dedicated commercial espresso grinder capable of consistent particle distribution, fast RPM for high-volume service, and reliable dosing — either by time or weight. Popular pairings with Commercial Espresso Machines include the Mahlkonig E65S GbW, Eureka Helios, and Fiorenzato F64 EVO. As a rule, never spend more on your espresso machine than your grinder budget allows — the grinder is the most impactful variable in espresso quality.

Yes — many operators in the Commercial Espresso Machines collection specifically choose compact 1-group or 2-group machines for mobile coffee carts, pop-ups, and event setups. The key considerations are power availability (generator capacity vs. shore power), water supply (tank-fed vs. direct plumb), and machine weight. Brands like La Marzocco, Rocket, and Faema offer compact commercial models well-suited to cart use. Coffee Machine Depot also carries a dedicated Coffee Cart collection with machines and accessories spec'd specifically for mobile operations.
