3 Group Coffee Machine

About

Three groups is the size most cafes buy, by a wide margin, and hotels and function venues ask for it almost every time, because a breakfast service or a conference break doesn't arrive in an orderly line. You don't need three baristas standing at the machine. The third group means the machine isn't what slows the bar down, so one group stays set up for decaf, one stays clear for tall takeaway cups, and you've still got capacity in hand when a bus pulls in or a function room empties all at once. The extra group is only half of what you're paying for. A three group carries a bigger boiler and more steam capacity than a two group does, and that's what holds the brew temperature steady when both wands are going and three baskets are coming in and out. It's also a longer machine and a heavier supply, so check the bench and the power early. We have Wega, La Marzocco, Bezzera, Synesso, San Remo and Expobar among other brands, new and fully refurbished.

On two groups both groups are committed the moment the bar gets busy, so there's nowhere to put a decaf, nowhere to leave a group free for a tall cup, and nothing left over when four orders land together. A third group gives you somewhere to put all of that, and the machine stops being what limits the bar. That headroom is why three groups is the standard for cafes and the default for hotels, pubs, clubs and function venues. A hotel breakfast has a shape no cafe ever sees, with a room full of guests arriving inside forty minutes and nearly all of it milk coffee, and function venues get the same pattern at every break. In those rooms three groups is the working minimum. For a cafe it means the bar handles the worst morning of the week rather than an average one. Do I need three baristas to justi
