Home use espresso machines can be very cheap to run. As most home coffee machines have smaller boilers, it takes very little time for the water to heat up to the right temperature. This means that you can turn on and off your coffee machine for every time you need to use it.
Extras such as: Water, milk, coffee beans and flavourings won’t get used as much so they would be a relatively low cost every so often to top up.

Commercial machines do cost a lot more to run so it is very important to look after them to get the most out of your spending. Most machines take a while to turn on and heat up ready for service so many stay on overnight or at least on standby. This running costs however can be made each day by selling just a few cups of coffee.
Other costs include: Coffee supply, milk supply, running of fridges/freezers, wastage and general maintenance costs.
