When selecting the best coffee machine to suit your needs, it's important to first consider some key points of difference between automatic and manual style machines. AUTOMATIC Automatic style coffee machines (including super-automatic machines), generally offer the user greater levels of automation in the coffee brewing process from grinding, tamping, brewing and milk. Most are incredibly user friendly and offer many programmable functions like various customisable drink options, coffee strength, temperature control, milk length and many more. Automatic style machines offer very consistent results taking a lot of the guesswork out of the coffee making process. Automatic machines are very well suited to someone looking for minimum fuss good coffee, quickly! MANUAL Manual style coffee machines are those favoured by true coffee lovers. This style of machine requires more user interaction in the entire process of grinding, tamping and brewing. In reward, you are given the satisfaction of being able to master the art of coffee making and equally enjoy the fine classic aesthetics of a beautifully crafted machine on your benchtop! These machines offer more complete control allowing the user to refine many aspects of the process to create their own perfect shot. Manual Machines have the additional requirement of a grinder to complete your own home barista package and allowing you to master the art of being a home barista.

Grinders are used to grind fresh beans directly into the porta filter resulting in the best tasting espresso. Any Semi Automatic or Prosumer style machine will require a grinder as these style machines do not have built in grinders.

With a Single Boiler machine, the boiler has one heating element with two thermostats. One thermostat is set for a temperature range that is ideal for brewing coffee and the other is set at a temperature meant to boil water and produce steam. Brewing coffee and steaming milk (or hot water) can not be done at the same time. Once a coffee has been extracted and the machine switched to steam, the boiler will then take a moment to increase the temperature in the boiler to that suitable for steam.

A heat exchanger has only one boiler, set to a steam temperature. It has another smaller “boiler” inside, a heat exchanger rod that passes through. as the water travels through the heat exchanger rod, the water heats up. The water should heat to a temperature perfect for espresso extraction.

A double boiler has two boilers on a single machine. Each boiler for a function. One is the brew boiler, set at a lower temperature. The other a steam boiler which is at much higher temperature. By keeping them separate, the user will have full control over the brew temperature and is more consistent in the extraction.

We recommend all machines to be serviced every 12 months to ensure optimum performance.

Machines equiped with PID controllers allow users to set the brew temperature.

Portafilter is also sometimes referred to as a "group handle" is the component of the espresso machine that holds the ground espresso beans (coffee grounds or puck) prior to and during the brewing process.

Office or work environments usually require a machine capable of producing multiple coffee's in a short period of time and that of course offer great durability. We have a selection of purpose built automatic easy to use machines for the office along with high quality Prosumer style machines to suit.
