A 2-group used coffee machine is a cost-effective solution for cafés, restaurants, or businesses looking for commercial-grade espresso performance without the high price of a new unit. Popular brands like La Marzocco, Nuova Simonelli, Rancilio, and Wega often appear on the secondhand market, offering reliable performance at a fraction of the retail cost. When buying used, key factors include machine condition, maintenance history, boiler type (dual vs. heat exchanger), and serviceability—ideally, purchase from a reputable dealer offering refurbished units with warranties. While prices typically range from $2,000to$8,000 AUD depending on age and brand, investing in a well-maintained used machine can deliver excellent value, provided it’s inspected for wear, scale buildup, and part replacements. Always test functionality (steam pressure, pump performance) and ensure local technician support is available for ongoing maintenance.
