Which La Spaziale espresso machine should you choose?
Start with the venue and peak workflow. A smaller machine can be the right choice when drinks arrive steadily and one barista works the station; a compact two-group adds simultaneous brewing without occupying the width of a full-size café machine. Higher-volume service also depends on steam demand, boiler recovery, grinder speed, drink complexity, and staffing—not group count alone.
| Family | Best fit | Configurations here | Decision point |
|---|---|---|---|
| S2 EK | Restaurants, bakeries, offices, and entry commercial bars | 1- and 2-group listings | Straightforward volumetric workflow in conventional-width formats |
| S2 Spazio | Mobile bars and counters where every inch matters | Compact 2-group, including TA volumetric | Prioritizes a smaller footprint while retaining two brew groups |
| S9 | Cafés and restaurants wanting a more substantial commercial platform | S9 EK Compact and S9 DSP 2G | Choose compact placement or a full-width two-group bar layout |
| S11 Brio | Premium offices, hospitality, small commercial programs, and advanced home bars | Tank and direct-connect choices vary by selected configuration | Touchscreen control and compact dual-boiler workflow |
| Vivaldi II | Serious home use and lighter-duty environments | Vivaldi II and Mini Vivaldi II | Decide between plumbed convenience and a reservoir-based setup |
Model options and utility requirements can change by variant. Confirm the exact voltage, amperage, water source, drain requirement, cup height, and included features on the linked product page before planning the counter.
Compact vs. full-size: a practical buying guide
Choose around rush-hour workflow
Compact two-group
Useful when two baristas or two simultaneous shots matter more than maximum boiler capacity. Measure the complete working area, including steam-wand swing, grinders, knock box, pitchers, and service access.

Full-size two-group
Often the better fit for a conventional café bar with repeated milk drinks and sustained rushes. It needs more counter space and may have different electrical requirements.

One group
Can work well for restaurants, offices, tasting rooms, catering, and lower-volume programs when one operator is responsible for espresso service.

Before ordering
- Estimate drinks during the busiest 60–90 minutes, not only daily totals.
- Confirm whether one or two baristas will use the machine at the same time.
- Test water and select treatment for local hardness, alkalinity, chlorine, and sediment.
- Verify voltage, amperage, plug or hardwire needs, inlet, drain, clearances, and freight access.
- Pair the machine with a commercial espresso grinder that can keep pace with peak demand.
La Spaziale commercial espresso machine FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is a compact two-group machine the same as a full-size two-group?
No. Both provide two brewing positions, but chassis width, boiler capacity, steam recovery, electrical demand, and working room can differ. Compare the exact specifications and your peak milk-drink load.
Should I choose the S2 or S9?
The S2 is a practical starting point for many restaurants and moderate-volume bars. The S9 family is better suited when you want a more substantial café platform or the specific compact and DSP configurations shown here. Your utilities, footprint, and rush-hour demand should decide the upgrade.
Are the Vivaldi models commercial machines?
They are capable dual-boiler crossover machines often selected for serious home users, offices, and lighter-duty settings. A traditional S2 or S9 commercial platform is usually a better starting point for continuous café production.
Do I need a water line and drain?
Most traditional commercial installations do. Some S11 and Mini Vivaldi configurations can use an internal reservoir. Always verify the selected variant instead of assuming the plumbing requirements from the family name.
What information should I have before calling?
Bring your menu, estimated peak drinks per hour, milk-drink percentage, staffing plan, counter dimensions, available electrical service, water test if available, and whether the site has a drain.
Let customers speak for us
Package arrived well protected without damage
Package arrived well protected without damage.
I had a thermoblock Breville Bambino before. After ~6yrs using it I could make good cortado but it was inconsistent.
This machine produces quality results every time. The steam is powerful. The extraction is great. Consistent, high temps. We get comments on how nice it looks.
For negatives, the included manual is sparse, especially for maintenance. I’ve found some videos online but many are in Korean so we’re still figuring that out. We drink primarily medium/dark roast. I’ve made light roast with it. It came out ok, but don’t know if I’d suggest it for that.
We were deciding among this, a Quick Mill Pop-Up, or a Profitec Go

5 Star Service & Grinder
Purchased the Moshi C83 Conical Burr Grinder from Espresso Outlet and had a great experience. Joe was very responsive over email and answered all my questions quickly. The grinder shipped fast, was well packaged, and arrived in perfect condition.
The grinder itself has been excellent so far — solid performance and a really good value, especially with the one-year warranty. Highly recommend Espresso Outlet.

Digital Gap adjustment is Amazing
I bought both the Lita and the Milo. I had some concerns about grind retention after watching a few online reviews, but after using the Milo, I haven’t experienced any issues with this.
I really love being able to adjust the burr gap predictably and reliably digitally. It makes dialing in my beans much easier, and once I get a particular bean dialed in, I can save a profile for it and quickly return to those settings later.

Great Machine
Great build quality and just the right amount of adjustability for pressure/flow profiling. I like being able to bind a basic profile to the grouphead button so others in my house can use it without needing to know anything about the advanced menus.

Great Kaleido M10
I started working with Barret on a problem I was having on my son's M6 that we bought from someone else not knowing Expresso Outlet was the sole US Distributor. Barret got him back up and running so I bought a M10 for myself through Expresso Outlet. The unit showed up well boxed and padded. Came with alot of extras. Wired it up and it runs flawlessly. Many Thanks again to Barret for all the email responses we had over the last few months.

Great roaster
Great roaster, it helped me step up my batch incredibly. Still fast, able to pump out 1lb easily. Learning curve as to be expected but I would suggest this brand to others.
