Thanks to freshly ground coffee, your favorite coffee is prepared exactly to your liking.
Different espresso machine brands at CasaBarista
CasaBarista has a wide range of real espresso machines with which you can make coffee as you are used to from a Barista. These are not fully automatic espresso machines where you make a cup of coffee with the push of a button. With a real espresso coffee machine, you make coffee as it is meant to be. Coffee is craftsmanship and with the machines below, you make the perfect cup of coffee.
What should the espresso machine meet?
The main goal is of course to make the perfect cup of coffee. A question you can ask yourself is how many people will be using the coffee machine. If you are going to make several cups in a row, then a machine with a large water reservoir or with a fixed water connection is highly recommended. To maintain the pressure well during coffee making, you could look at a dual boiler, which also reduces the temperature drop.
Warm cups for the optimal experience
On various machines, you can use the coffee cup warmer. Place the cups on top of the device when you are not using them. When the machine is on, the cups will warm up and stay warm, so your freshly brewed coffee does not cool down immediately due to the use of a cold cup.
Hospitality espresso machines
Are you looking for the larger machines that perform optimally in a hospitality setting? CasaBarista also has espresso machines specially equipped to make perfect coffee all day long, even for large groups of people. The hospitality machines are usually equipped with multiple brew groups, allowing you to make several cups of coffee at the same time. For these larger machines, we recommend contacting one of the CasaBarista locations.
Coffee bean grinders
The bean grinder is perhaps better known as a coffee mill. You use a coffee mill to grind freshly roasted coffee beans for delicious fresh coffee. Did you know that a bag of coffee beans stays fresh longer than pre-ground coffee? CasaBarista has coffee bean grinders from the brands Macap, Mazzer, Quamar, Bezzera, Rocket and more.

Machine maintenance
