Why Most Commercial Espresso Machines Fail in Busy Cafes

Opening a café is exciting—but if your espresso machine can’t keep up with demand, it becomes a liability instead of an asset. Many machines advertised as “commercial” are simply not designed for the real-world pressure of a morning rush.

Common failure points include:

• Slow heat recovery due to single boiler designs

• Overheating from lack of water circulation

• Steam pressure drop during multi-drink orders

• Difficulty cleaning under pressure

What to choose instead?

• Dual Boiler Systems: One for brewing, one for steaming

• Saturated Group Heads: For better thermal stability

• Copper Plumbing + PID Control: Precision temperature, durable material

• Stainless Steel Frame: Easy to clean and corrosion-resistant

A true commercial machine, like our KS535, is tested under high-output environments, designed for reliability, and built for speed.
