Industrial coffee machines are just what they sound - Big. Big in every conceivable way - size, quantity and the quality of coffee brewed; which is why they are different from the regular coffee vending machines.
These are a great buy for any business which requires brewing coffee for a large number of people. Whether it is a restaurant or an office, if the need is to keep hot coffee ready at all times, then it is the commercial coffee maker. Though, there are those who prefer to buy the regular home coffee makers. While that is good enough for the home, it turns out to be a messy investment in the long run.
You need to know what you need from the machine - the kind of coffee required, the quantity in which coffee is to be brewed, your budget and where to find that machine in that budget. In short, apart from the requirements, you need to know the best buy too.
Since industrial coffee machines are meant for the use of a large population, they are designed to be more durable and faster. While the home machines can brew a few cups at a time, the commercial ones can brew a few hundreds or even more in an hour. If you expect your home coffee maker to keep up with this quantity, it will soon give up the ghost. There are a lot of advanced features available like one touch brewing, frothing, built in grinders, timers and water filters etc. They can also brew lattes, espressos, cappuccinos or a cup of simple coffee.
The best advantage is that they are less messy than the residential ones. There is less water spillage. They are simple to use and easy to maintain. Though they cost about 40% more than the usual coffee makers, they are worth the money. They are more durable, can brew more coffee and come with a lot of features that you wouldn't find in the home coffee machine.
When you shop around for coffee machines, you will find that there is a whole world of them just waiting to be discovered. So just go ahead, and look around till you finally find the industrial coffee machine that is just for you.
