Expert Review and  Insights

The Modena CM2 really hits the sweet spot between performance and  practicality. It's not trying to be the flashiest machine on the market, but it's incredibly dependable, which is frankly what most business owners need. It maintains temperature and  pressure brilliantly, even when you're knocking out flat whites back-to-back. A solid, reliable choice for any serious coffee setup.

  • Peak-Time Performer: Handles the busiest rush without losing steam pressure or temperature.
  • Space Consideration: Its professional footprint requires dedicated counter space, not for tiny kiosks.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Perk, a popular coffee spot in Brighton, found their single-group machine just couldn't cope with the summer tourist queues, leading to lost sales and  frustrated customers. They upgraded to the Modena CM2 to increase their capacity and  speed of service.

"We used to have a queue out the door for the wrong reasons. The Modena CM2 has been brilliant; we're serving customers in half the time, and  the consistency is fantastic. Our staff love how simple it is to use, and  our regulars have noticed the difference in quality."

Ben Carter – Owner, The Corner Perk

The upgrade resulted in a 50% reduction in customer wait times during their peak 8am-10am morning rush.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the machine is on a sturdy, level counter with enough space for airflow around it.
  • This machine requires a connection to a mains water supply. We strongly recommend using a commercial water filter to prevent limescale build-up.
  • It plugs into a standard UK 13 amp socket, so no special wiring is needed.
  • Before first use, run several brewing cycles to season the group heads and  flush the system.

Keeping It Going

  • Backflush the group heads with a blind filter at the end of every day to remove coffee oils.
  • Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth immediately after every single use to prevent milk crusting.
  • Follow a regular descaling routine, with frequency depending on your area's water hardness.
  • Keep an eye on the pressure gauges daily; they are a great indicator of the machine's health.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Coffee Machine

Not sure what fits your business best? Here’s a quick rundown of what to look for when choosing your next machine.

Volume is Key

How many coffees do you serve per hour? A single group is for low-volume spots, but a 2 group commercial espresso machine like this one is the industry standard for busy cafés, ensuring you can keep up with demand.

Automatic vs. Traditional

Automatic machines like the Modena CM2 use programmable buttons for pre-set volumes. This delivers fantastic consistency, which is vital for fast-paced settings and  businesses with multiple staff members.

Water Supply & Quality

Most commercial machines need to be plumbed in. Crucially, always install a water filter. This protects your investment from limescale damage and  noticeably improves the taste of your coffee.

Power Requirements

Always check if a machine needs a standard 13A plug or requires hardwiring by an electrician. This model conveniently uses a standard 13A plug, making installation much simpler.

Counter Space is Precious

Measure twice, buy once! A two-group machine is a significant piece of equipment. Ensure you have the width and  depth on your counter, plus enough elbow room for your barista to work efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many coffees can this machine make at once?

A: Thanks to its two group heads, you can prepare up to four single espressos or two double-shot drinks simultaneously.

Q: Is this an automatic machine?

A: Yes, it features a one-touch programmable keypad. You can set the exact volume for single and  double shots for perfect consistency every time.

Q: Does the Modena CM2 need to be plumbed into a water supply?

A: Yes, it connects to a mains water supply to enable its automatic boiler-filling feature, which is essential for commercial use.

Q: What kind of power socket does it require?

A: It uses a standard 13 amp plug, so you can plug it straight into a regular UK wall socket without needing an electrician to hardwire it.

Q: Can I froth milk for lattes and  cappuccinos?

A: Absolutely. It comes equipped with a powerful, rotating steam wand designed for creating finely textured microfoam for all your milk-based drinks.

Q: Does it have a cup warmer?

A: Yes, the entire top surface of the machine acts as a large, passive cup-warming area, keeping your porcelain ready for service.

Q: How do I clean the group heads?

A: Daily cleaning is done via a simple process called 'backflushing' using a blank portafilter disc and  a little cleaning powder. It takes just a few minutes at the end of the day.

Q: What are the two pressure gauges for?

A: One gauge shows the pressure in the boiler (for steam and  hot water), while the other shows the pressure from the pump during extraction. This helps you or a technician diagnose performance and  ensure perfect coffee.

Never Run Dry: Why Automatic Boiler Refill is a Must-Have

Ever wondered what 'automatic water filling' really means for you? Think of it like a self-filling kettle that never runs out. This Modena CM2 is plumbed directly into your mains water supply, and  it intelligently monitors the water level inside its 6.5-litre boiler. When the level drops after making steam or hot water, it automatically tops itself up, quietly in the background.

This isn't just a convenience feature that saves you from manual filling. It's a crucial protective system. Running a boiler dry can cause the heating element to burn out—a costly and  disruptive repair. With automatic refill, your machine is protected from damage, you're saved from unexpected downtime, and  your service continues without a single interruption. It’s a simple feature that provides massive peace of mind.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy High Street Cafés: Perfect for serving consistently great coffee during the morning rush without missing a single beat.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: An ideal professional espresso machine for restaurants to create high-quality, after-dinner coffees that complement the menu.
  • Hotel Bars & Lounges: Offer residents and  guests premium, barista-style coffee from breakfast service through to evening nightcaps.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: A fantastic way to upgrade your beverage offering, attract more footfall, and  increase customer dwell time.
