How much do espresso machines cost?
Espresso machines are like cars. There are cheap ones, really expensive ones and mid-priced ones. The cheap ones can save money up front but often don’t stand up under long term use and end up having to be serviced a lot or replaced. There are expensive, fancy ones with lots of bells and whistles but most of those are not necessary for a church café. We recommend a good mid-priced machine that will work well for you long term, be very easy to use and make drinks quickly and efficiently. You should expect to spend about $7,000 – $13,000 for a new machine that will fit your needs. Cheaper machines are not recommended for high volume or long term use. Espresso machines purchased from The Daily Java include basic installation as well as training for your staff and volunteers on how to use and care for the machine. We will also provide you with drink recipes and instructions, and support on planning your menu. Plus, we are there for you if you have questions or maintenance issues. When prop
