Espresso Machines

Espresso machines come in varieties to meet the needs of any residential or commercial espresso enthusiast.  At KaTom Restaurant Supply, we offer espresso machine's from either Bunn or Rancilio.  These machines are available in either average, medium-high, high capacity, or espresso machines with integrated hopper and grinders. 

The average capacity espresso machines we offer are made by Rancilio.  The average capacity Rancilio espresso machine's have from 1-3 beverage dispensers and a 3.9-16 liter boiler tank.  An optional side drain tray is also offered which extends the width an extra 5".  Medium to high capacity Rancilio espresso machines have boiler tanks with capacities between 5-22 liters and have 1-4 beverage dispensers.  Rancilio's high capacity espresso machines have from 2-4 beverage dispensers and large, 11-22 liter boiler tanks.  These high-volume espresso machines vary slightly in size and also have the optional 5" side drain tray.

Espresso machines with integrated hopper and grinders can either be purchased in single or double hopper varieties.  The single hopper/grinder features a single beverage dispenser, a .6 liter boiler tank and has a 180 shots per hour capacity.  Double hopper/grinder espresso machines come with either 1 or 2 beverage dispensers and a .6-1.9 liter boiler capacity.  These units can produce from 180-240 shots per hours.  The single and double hopper/grinder espresso machine eliminates the need for a separate grinder, saving counter space and preparation time.
