One-Group Commercial Espresso Machines: Compact Power, Professional Results

What Is a One-Group Commercial Espresso Machine?

A one-group machine features a single brew group, perfect for boutique cafés, mobile bars, or home pros. Designed for 30–100 drinks daily, they offer a space-efficient, high-performance solution.

Why Choose a One-Group Machine for Your Setup?

These machines deliver commercial-grade quality in a compact chassis. They’re ideal for low-traffic locations or secondary setups (like offices or showrooms)—with affordable install, lower energy use, and less space requirement.

How Does a One-Group Compare to Two or Three Groups?

With one group, output is limited to one shot at a time, best for under ~100 drinks/day. Two or three group machines offer faster throughput and multi-barista workflow. Choose one-group if you’re fine with solo operation and moderate volume, but scale up for built-to-last, high-volume environments.

What Electrical Options Are Available?

Several models run on 110V, making them plug-and-play ready for offices or mobile carts. Others operate on 220V, ideal for cafés or bakeries needing higher output and recovery speed. Tabor Espresso offers machines in both configurations.

Top Features to Look For in One-Group Machines

• Volumetric or manual dosing for shot control

• Heat exchanger or dual boiler for simultaneous steaming

• PID or pressure-based temp control

• Raised group heads for easy tall cup access

• Cool-touch steam wand or optional TurboSteam

• Compact yet durable construction

• 110 V or 220 V compatibility depending on setup

How Do Super-Automatic Machines Compare to One-Group Espresso Machines?

Super-automatic espresso machines handle grinding, tamping, and brewing with the push of a button—ideal for offices, self-serve stations, or high-volume environments without trained baristas. In contrast, one-group commercial machines offer full barista control, superior espresso quality, and better consistency when operated by a skilled user. Choose a one-group machine if craftsmanship, flavor control, and café-style performance are priorities.

Who Should Choose a One-Group Machine from Tabor?

• Small cafés or boutiques with under 100 drinks/day
