When it comes to choosing the right coffee machine for your hotel, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Serving high quality coffee in a hotel isn’t easy. You’re often dealing with multiple spaces, different service styles, and a wide range of customer expectations, from breakfast buffets and lounge service to meetings, events, and bar menus. Each outlet may need its own solution.

Because no two hotels are the same, there’s no one size fits all answer. But in 2025, there’s a huge range of coffee machines that can help you deliver great coffee, consistently and efficiently, wherever it’s needed.

In this article, we’re sharing our top recommended options for hotel coffee machines this year to help you find the right fit for your specific needs. Let's go.

 

2025's Best Coffee Machines for Hotels

 

For the Hotel Café

If your hotel has a dedicated café space serving both guests and walk-in customers, you’ll want a machine that combines performance, consistency, and visual appeal. A full traditional espresso setup gives you maximum control over drink quality and works best when you have trained staff behind the bar.

Best Espresso Machine - Sanremo F18 Multiboiler

The F18 is a high-performance espresso machine designed for speed, precision, and temperature stability. With independent boilers for each group head, it’s built to handle high volume without compromising quality. Though not new, the F18 Multiboiler by Sanremo still offers industry leading features, performance, and coffee quality at a great price point.
