I truly can't imagine maintaining an espresso machine in a commercial setting. I bought a La Marzocco when I moved outside of convenient driving range of any coffee shops, and it made great espresso, and I kept it in working order for 4 years, and then I just couldn't be bothered anymore and I drink aeropress or cold brew now. I care enough to drive two hours every month or so for green beans and to roast them myself, but keeping the La Marzocco working was way more trouble than it was worth.
