There are usually two kinds of commercial coffee machines: super-automatic or semi-automatic, and both have a long price range depending upon how advanced your staff is. (Note: Technically, there also exist manual (or lever-) automatic commercial coffee machines, but they are very rare to find.) Super-automated coffee machines are highly automated and therefore more expensive to buy than manual ones. Manual ones are, however, less expensive as they are more simple to use. The manual commercial coffee machines are available in two options: automatic (i.e. with levers and push buttons) or semi-automatic (i.e. without levers). Each machine can make approximately 100 cups of coffee at a time, so you need to have a huge workforce if you want to use this option. However, it is better to hire workers and pay them salaries, because automatic ones can be left unattended for many hours, especially in big companies where each employee is responsible for producing hundreds of cups per day! Both types of commercial coffee machines have their advantages and disadvantages. The semi-automatic machines are cheaper to buy. However, the time taken to prepare 100 cups of coffee is longer, and sometimes they do not brew strong beverages correctly (due to improper grinding and brewing). For instant drinks, such as lattes and cappuccinos, this disadvantage is not really a disadvantage, because instant beverages require a lot of preparation time and a lot of skill to make them correctly. On the other hand, automatic machines are more convenient to use, especially if you want to prepare larger quantities of beverages at once, such as if you want to serve hundreds of lattes in a single day. Furthermore, these commercial coffee machines are very efficient, as they do not waste any coffee bean, which saves you money on buying fresh beans every time there is a shortage. If you plan to start your own business, the advantage of using automatic machines will be particularly helpful, as you will not need to buy fresh beans and the company won't be paying you for brewing the beverage in advance! The disadvantages of using semi-automated devices will be mostly noticeable if you want to start selling stronger beverages like lattes and cappuccino, as they do not produce beverages that taste good when made with weak or poor quality beans. In order to be able to choose between semi-automatic and super-automatic commercial coffee machines, it is best to read some product reviews. However, it is more convenient to just look for features that the two kinds of machines offer, because in general, the more features a device has, the more expensive it will be. On the other hand, the biggest disadvantage of the super-automatic types is their inability to provide a large amount of volume. Therefore, if you plan to buy the commercial coffee machines, the semi-automated models will be more convenient. A small number of manufacturers make both types of machines. For example, Kona makes a self-service station that is popular with cafe owners, as it is very easy to use. The only disadvantage is that it is not as strong as commercial coffee machines with more powerful motors. The most famous brand is also a semi-automatic device called the Thermoforme. Although it is not as durable as the super-automated devices, the models made by Kona have created a huge stir among coffee enthusiasts all over the world.
