Cortile empowers coffee‑shop owners to brew success, serving up premium commercial coffee machines, accessories such as grinders and milk fridges, alongside installation, warranty, barista training and coffee beans.
EQUIP YOUR BARISTAS WITH THE BEST
Explainer: These are espresso coffee machines, also known as traditional coffee machines, these are used by qualified baristas to make quality coffee. We also sell automatic bean-to-cup machines, but we’d usually recommend these for pubs or quick-service restaurants.
We can help: Ask us for recommendations for brand and machine types that match your vibe, aesthetic, client base, volume and budget.
Busy, busy? 3 and 4 group machines add extra capacity
Explainer: With espresso machines, the number of groups correlates to how many drinks it can make simultaneously, so a 3-group machine could be used by 3 baristas to make 3 coffees at once. Larger machines take up more space but are increasingly seen as a statement piece in coffee shops, and a sign that you’re due to be served a quality cuppa.
We can help: If you’re investing in a quality coffee machine, it’s invaluable to make sure your baristas know how to use it and our staff can demonstrate how to get the most of our machine, plus teach some tricks for always delivering a perfect cup o’ joe.

terminology explainer
1, 2, 3, 4 groups
The “group” refers to the number of coffee brewing heads on a machine. Each group can pull a shot of espresso independently.
-
1 group – Ideal for small cafés or low-volume setups.
-
2–4 groups – Suitable for medium to high-volume coffee shops, allowing multiple drinks to be made at the same time.
Gas / Mains-Powered / Plumbed
-
Gas-powered – Machines that use gas for heating water, offering quick heat-up times and sometimes more flexible placement.
-
Mains-powered – Machines that run on standard electrical supply. Most commercial espresso machines are mains-powered.
-
Plumbed – A machine that connects directly to your water supply, so you don’t need to refill tanks manually.
Semi-Automatic
A semi-automatic machine gives baristas control over the brewing process, including when to start and stop each shot of espresso. It balances professional control with user-friendly operation.
LPG
LPG machines use gas canisters instead of mains gas. They’re useful in locations where natural gas isn’t available, but still require proper installation and ventilation.
