How Commercial Coffee Machines Work
Commercial coffee machines work their magic through precision engineering and pressure. Whether it's an espresso machine forcing near-boiling water through compacted grounds at 9 bars of pressure, or a bean-to-cup system grinding fresh beans before brewing, they're all about extracting perfect flavour. Most professional models feature programmable settings to control temperature (88-96°C), extraction time, and cup volume—ensuring consistent results even with different baristas. Many incorporate built-in milk steamers that heat and texture milk to silky perfection. What separates commercial machines from domestic ones is their heavy-duty components designed for hundreds of daily coffees without breaking a sweat!

Use proper tamping technique for consistent extraction, and consider water temperature for different bean varieties. These habits will extend machine life and maintain coffee quality.
