(driven by passion)
Espresso Machines are meant for those who are passionate about espresso and
espresso-based beverages.  There is a huge price range and types in these machines, not to mention the
number of Italian brands available.  Here, we have selected 3 brands that are well known in their commercial
espresso machines, including the ones below that are considered semi-commercial or prosumer level.  We
do not sell consumer level espresso machines because they may be pricey yet not able to produce quality
espresso or cafe crema.

We strongly recommend you to read our
Choosing My Espresso Machine to understand the differences.

Best of Breed Semi-commercial Espresso
Machine

Nuova Simonelli Appia 1-group

Incorporating some of the features found in the Aurelia
(recognized as one of the best performing espresso
machines in recent years), the Appia is the latest addition
to the Nuova Simonelli family of commercial espresso
machines.  With a thermo-compensated group head, you
will get the most stable temperature for every shot you
make.  

Soft Infusion System, SIS (Double Pre-infusion)
With traditional pre-infusion technology, the extraction
starts at 0 bar and reaches 9 bars in about 8 seconds. With
double pre-infusion, the extraction starts at 0 bar and
reaches 9 bar in about 16 seconds, allowing more grounds
to be presoaked before the full extraction takes place. This
process allows for more crema and aroma to be extracted
while also lowering employee’s possible tamping/grinder
inconsistencies, which is one of the key skills and
determinant of a good espresso shot.

This is the perfect choice for small cafe and restaurants, or
for coffee lovers who wants the performance and quality of
a commercial espresso machine at home.

World's First PID Home/ Semi-Commercial Espresso
Machine with Double Boilers
Besides Synesso's Cyncra commercial espresso machine, this
is currently the only home espresso machine with digital
temperature control (using PID) available in the market.

Recommended by David Schomer as "the best machine for
home user", this no-nonsence classic-looking machine is
engineered and built for the purists that demands consistency,
repeatability and ease of use.  Temperature control is one key
factor that determines the quality of the espresso, and the
digital temperature control does just that, and even down to 1
degree Celsius.  This takes away the problem in heat
exchanger (HX) espresso machines whereby user has to
"temperature surf" in order to attain the closest desired
temperature.  If that is not enough, the Brewtus II comes with 2
dedicated boilers, one for the hot water and another for the
steam.  That means zero waiting time between pulling shots
and frothing milk, coupled with accurate temperature and
pressure.

Sounds technical?  Indeed it is.  That is, it allows you to zero
in to the sweet spot for any espresso blend.  This is yet another
milestone towards pulling the perfect shot.

Specifications:
  • Double boiler with dedicated 975-watt on demand
  • E61 commercial brew group
  • Digital Temperature Control down to 1 degree Celsius
  • 22 ounces, 58mm commercial portafilter
  • Pre-infusion function to moisten the grounds for better
    extraction
  • Brewing pressure controller with pressure gauge
  • Steam pressure controller with pressure gauge
  • Hot water dispenser
  • Steam wand
  • Shiny stainless-steel casing
  • Dimension: 15"H x 10.5"W x 17.5"D

So what is PID?  It can be described as a set of rules with
which precise regulation of a closed-loop control system is
obtained.  Closed loop control means a method in which a
real-time measurement of the process being controlled is
constantly fed back to the controlling device to ensure that the
value which is desired is, in fact, being realized.  The mission
of the controlling device is to make the measured value,
usually known as the PROCESS VARIABLE, equal to the
desired value, usually known as the SETPOINT.  The very best
way of accomplishing this task is with the use of the control
algorithm we know as PID, which stands for Proportional-
Integral-Derivative.
