achine distributor Espresso Mechanics has been supplying the Australian hospitality industry with premium coffee equipment and support for more than 50 years. And with the hospitality industry fully open for businesses following two years of sporadic lockdowns and density restrictions, Espresso Mechanic has a huge variety of equipment and services available to help businesses thrive in the ‘new norm’ of operation post-COVID.

says it’s difficult to choose just one. The company is an importer of leading global coffee equipment including Victoria Arduino and Nuova Simonelli and supplier of Barista Technology Australia equipment. “The popularity of our coffee equipment varies on customer base and need. If a customer is more specialty focused, the Victoria Arduino range will guarantee coffee they can be proud of. Each product is crated to provide the optimal performance, design and precise controls desired by baristas,” he says. “From our convenience sector we find there’s a high demand for Rex Royal’s bean to cup machines. For example,
the Rex Royal S300 meets the highest standards for hotels, gastronomy, and self-service. The large touchscreen ensures an engaging experience, and the intuitive menu makes it very easy to navigate.” Matthew says Nuova Simonelli’s range are also some of the company’s most popular pieces of equipment thanks to the Simonelli Group’s market reputation for engineering precision that improves workflow and ultimately saves time. “When making coffee at home, Nuova Simonelli’s Oscar and Musica coffee machines offer compact convenience and simplistic design, featuring programmable volumetric shots, commercial grade parts, and ergonomic design,” he says.
