Capsules or Coffee Beans for Your Business?
Compare the daily workflow before choosing a coffee system. The right starting point is how you want to prepare and serve drinks.
Start with service, then choose the system
Consider who will prepare drinks, the menu you want, and when demand peaks. The decision is broader than a machine’s footprint: it also affects storage, refilling, grinder work, milk handling and cleaning.
| Consideration | Compatible capsule setup | Ground-coffee espresso setup |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee portion | Individually portioned capsules for the exact system. | Beans are ground and a dose is prepared for extraction. |
| Daily routine | Capsule handling, water refilling and the model’s cleaning routine. | Grinding, dosing, preparation and machine and grinder cleaning. |
| Fresh-milk drinks | Milk capability depends on the particular model and accessories. | Steam and milk options depend on the machine configuration. |
| Selection checks | Capsule compatibility, intended use and regional machine configuration. | Machine and grinder pairing, staffing and site utilities. |
| Business fit | Assess the exact model against your service requirements. | Assess capacity, configuration and installation against your service requirements. |
When exploring Caffitaly capsules
Review the capsule collection together with your machine information. Caffitaly’s manufacturer FAQ distinguishes Caffitaly System capsules from the separate Professional / Coffee for You lines. Match the exact system rather than relying on the brand name alone.
Read the compatibility guide and contact us with your model if anything is unclear.
When exploring beans and espresso equipment
Review Costadoro coffee alongside FAEMA equipment. Include your grinder and preparation workflow in the discussion. Describe staff experience, the balance of espresso and fresh-milk drinks, and the busiest service window.
Compare the whole routine
For either route, identify refilling and cleaning responsibilities, storage needs and waste handling. Ask for the applicable product quantities, installation requirements and commercial terms. We do not assume that one system is suitable for every business or that a reference model is available in every market.
