Commercial Espresso Machines

Commercial Machines

Our commercial equipment cannot be rush-shipped.

Except for the commercial espresso machines in the "Smaller Commercial Machines for Smaller Shops" category (see sections below), the large commercial espresso machines do not ship "right off the shelf." They must be bench-tested for several days, and then crated and freighted. While you will likely get your espresso machine within 2-3 weeks, we can't guarantee this. You should allow as much as a month lead time when ordering a large commercial espresso machine. This is in case there is a backlog of machines to be tested, and in case we find things during test that should be addressed prior to shipping.

Large commercial espresso machines require installation - meaning connection to water, connection to 220 Volt service, and a floor drain. We will explain in detail what is required in the sections below, and we will arrange for installation for you. We know that it can be nerve-wracking when you are opening a shop. We don't want you to have any surprises, and we will take care of you.

Contact us prior to ordering for a better estimate on when you will likely be up and running. Note that sales on commercial espresso machines are final once they are installed, but we are committed to work with you to make sure that you are satisfied with your installation. At TheCoffeeBrewers, we will make sure that you understand what you need to do, and what you should expect before you buy. Make sure to read the details of whatever machine interests you. We take pains to explain what will happen, and what needs to be done.

TheCoffeeBrewers carries the three premier brands of commercial espresso machines; La Pavoni, which started the entire commercial espresso machine industry just over a century ago (1905); FAEMA, which has been leading the commercial espresso machine industry with breakthrough innovations for over 60 years (since World War II); and CoffeeStuff, which is an American newcomer breaking new ground in robust construction and design of commercial espresso machines with the barista in mind.


Our prices on commercial espresso machines include free shipment, a water softening unit, and a warranty. For FAEMA commercial espresso machines, our prices also include free installation.

If you get a price quote on a commercial espresso machine from another website or dealer, make sure that you understand what that price does and does not include, and make sure that you understand what your other expenses will be in getting your commercial espresso machine installed and operational.

Our commercial espresso machine section is separated into subsections so that we can provide an overarching description of the brand or line within the section. But this section is also separated this way because the specifics of what is included in the price, and what services we will do and/or arrange for is different for each line of commercial espresso machines.

Before you buy, make sure that you have a full and clear understanding of what is and is not included in the price of your commercial espresso machine, and what else you will need to do to get your commercial espresso machine operational. To help you out, we have explained what else needs to be done, and what else needs to be purchased for each line of commercial espresso machines. Again, the deal is different for each different line.

When other things need to be purchased, or other work needs to be done to get your commercial espresso machine installed and operational, we've given you a rough idea what those things will cost so that you will have a pretty good idea of your total costs, and what you're getting into.

Especially if you are opening a coffee business, we know that the planning and scheduling of contractors can be very stressful and frustrating, and that you need to make every penny count. When you buy from us, we don't want you to be surprised later on with other things that you need to buy and/or do. We operate with several national chains of authorized installers and trained service professionals. If we don't do the installation ourselves, we will arrange your installation and service for you - unless you would like to make your own arrangements.

Before you buy a commercial espresso machine, please contact us so that we can be sure that the commercial espresso machine that you want is in our warehouse and ready to ship. We can then give you a very good idea of when you will receive your commercial espresso machine (we bench-test them before we ship them), and when your commercial espresso machine can be installed. We don't want any scheduling surprises for you when you buy a commercial espresso machine from us!

La Pavoni Commercial Espresso Machines

La Pavoni commercial espresso machines provide very robust performance and quality at a medium price-point in the commercial espresso machine industry (kind of like General Motors in the automotive industry).

The La Pavoni commercial espresso machine line features the largest boilers in the commercial espresso machine industry, which allows constant frothing from two steam wands simultaneously during peak business hours. We offer three lines of La Pavoni commercial espresso machines.

The La Pavoni Pub line of commercial espresso machines features the smallest footprint with the easiest installation, since it operates at 110 Volts. These commercial espresso machines have relatively small boilers, which make them more compact, and more suitable for pubs & bars, where the volumes (in espresso drinks) are not continuous. (The smaller boiler needs some recovery time after prolonged frothings.)

The La Pavoni Bar line of commercial espresso machines are heavy-duty "workhorses" with very large boilers that enable you to run the steam wands constantly. These commercial espresso machines are ideal in coffee shops and espresso bars that may have long peak business periods.

The La Pavoni Bar and La Pavoni Pub lines are the La Pavoni traditional lines of commercial espresso machines. This year, La Pavoni has released a brand new, and flashier line of commercial espresso machines called the " La Pavoni Bar Star" line; a line of commercial espresso machines with several new features.

FAEMA Commercial Espresso Machines

FAEMA commercial espresso machines offer exceptional performance and quality at the very high-end of commercial espresso machines (more analogous to Mercedez Bentz in the automotive industry. We offer two different FAEMA lines of commercial espresso machines.

The new FAEMA E61 commercial espresso machines have the classic and famous look of the original FAEMA E61, which set new standards in commercial espresso machines, and frankly, amazed the industry with several major innovations (that have become standard features in all high-end commercial espresso machines today) when it was first released in 1961.

But the new FAEMA E61 commercial espresso machines are fully modern, with many new innovations, but with the beautiful lines and styling of the original classic commercial espresso machines. Our "mainstream" line of FAEMA commercial espresso machines have a basic no frills rectangular look, but like the new FAEMA E61, they set the standards in quality within the commercial espresso machine industry.

CoffeeStuff Commercial Espresso Machines

CoffeeStuff is an all-American newcomer to the commercial espresso machine industry. Their pedigree brings in many years experience working with many other Italian-made commercial espresso machines. The design was formulated based on that considerable experience installing, repairing, and using (as baristas) the most popular commercial espresso machines on the market.

What CoffeeStuff has done is to add many little improvements in the placements, operations, and quality of many of the controls and fixtures. They have remade the concept of the commercial espresso machine in accordance with those elements of design and construction that make their commercial espresso machines both easier to use and easier to repair than any commercial espresso machine on the market. And they have used only the best materials in their commercial espresso machines so that repairs will not be nearly as frequent: brass instead of copper where possible, and steel instead of plastic.

Since CoffeeStuff commercial espresso machines are made in America, there are no overseas shipping and importing fees. This allows CoffeeStuff to sell a very high quality all-American commercial espresso machine at a much lower price than what such a commercial espresso machine coming from Italy would cost.

To continue with the automotive parallels that we have drawn for the La Pavoni and FAEMA commercial espresso machines, if you buy a CoffeeStuff commercial espresso machine, you are basically getting a BMW for the price of a Ford.
