How to Choose the Right Coffee Machine for Your Restaurant

Running a successful restaurant means serving great coffee — consistently. Whether you're catering to early-morning commuters, after-dinner espresso lovers, or Sunday brunch crowds, having the right coffee machine can make or break your customer experience.

1. Understand Your Volume Needs

Start by asking:

How many cups of coffee do we serve per day?

• Low volume (20–50 cups/day): A manual-fill filter coffee machine like the Bravilor Novo is budget-friendly and easy to use.
• Medium volume (50–150 cups/day): Bean-to-cup machines like the Bravilor Sego 12 offer speed and variety without the need for a trained barista.
• High volume (150+ cups/day): For busy environments, go with high-output commercial machines like the Bravilor Esprecious Fresh Milk that deliver barista-style coffee all day long.

2. Choose Your Coffee Style

What kind of coffee do your customers expect?

• Espresso-based drinks (cappuccino, latte): Choose a bean-to-cup machine or automatic espresso machine with milk frothing.
• Standard filter coffee: Go for filter machines like the Bravilor Novo or airpot brewers for batch serving.

3. Consider Maintenance & Cleaning

Restaurant teams are busy — you want a machine that’s:

• Easy to clean
• Low-maintenance
• Has reliable after-sales service (especially important for commercial kitchens)

Machines like the Sego or Esprecious come with automatic cleaning cycles and are supported by top brands like Bravilor.

4. Fresh Milk or Instant?

If your restaurant focuses on quality and presentation, opt for a Fresh Milk solution for rich foam and authentic lattes. If speed and volume are your priority, instant milk or powdered options are faster and lower maintenance.

5. Look at Power, Size & Installation

• Check power requirements (e.g., 230V vs 380V)
• Measure your counter space and ensure ventilation
• Decide if you need a plumbed-in water line or a manual-fill machine

Final Tip: Choose a Reliable Brand
Stick with trusted commercial brands like:

• Bravilor
• Avenia
  

These offer spare parts, service backup, and consistency you can count on.
