A traditional machine, such as the Gaggia range which can be found below by Conti and Gaggia, is hand operated by a barista. It is a very manual process allowing for attention to detail. Also known as an espresso machine, these types of machine are semi-functional for coffee shops and can provide over 100+ beverages a day, ideal for fast-paced environments where consistent great coffee is appreciated. A traditional coffee machine requires some training on both the coffee machine and the coffee grinder that will be used in conjunction with one another. To get the best use out of your machine, we recommend seeking advice from a qualified barista unless you or your staff already have good experience operating them.

Espresso machines are beneficial to those looking to improve on their latte art, roast their own specialty coffee blends, and controlling levels of milk froth, coffee temperature and strength profiles of coffee beans during the roasting and grinding process. Little maintenance is needed for the machine as long as the steam wands are clean and components are soaked at the end of the day

When picking between a traditional or bean to cup machine,  key factors in your decision should be understanding what your working environment needs,  and knowing the difference between the two machines, so you can make a conscious decision about the best machine to invest in for your business.

You should put your staff, customers and clients into consideration,  are they expecting barista made coffee? Are they leisurely, social visitors or important clients? Would they appreciate drinking coffee that has been made by a professionally trained barista, or are they not fussed with an instant coffee enough to keep them contempt .
