• Durability – Can it handle heat, vibration, and volume?

• Power compatibility – Will it run off your generator or battery system?

• Water source – Direct plumb vs. onboard tank

• Ease of maintenance – You’ll be the tech in most cases

Popular mobile-ready espresso brands include La Marzocco, Rancilio, and Nuova Simonelli. Don’t skimp on your grinder—it’s just as important as the machine.
