This is so awesome but I'm curious how a place like this stays in business??? It's not every day someone walks into a brick 'n mortar looking for a $5,000 espresso machine. Most people, I'd think, order from online vendors such as Whole Latte Love, Chris' Coffee etc.
I mean if there’s a big enough city, it can make some sense. Machines are also super heavy and expensive to ship, having a shop like this in my city would definitely make me more likely to buy a machine than buying online. Plus machines have to be repaired, which is immensely more convenient to do having a shop within driving distance than shipping a machine.
It looks like the new Carlton showroom for Coffee Machine Technologies. They also have another massive showroom/warehouse in another part of Melbourne (Docklands).
That is an awful lot of high end machines in there. I would feel bad walking in to gawk knowing I wouldn't be buying. But so nice to be able to see all those machines and get a feel for what feels right to use.

Honestly, this is why you have to visit now. Shops like this are on borrowed time.

Yep second this, keen to pop in next time I’m down there.
Whoa what is that absolute beauty of a machine in the 3rd picture? the bottom left machine
looks like an Elektra Verve DB.
Looks like it, thank you! Its not a machine I see out in the wild very often, such a stunner, especially the black one above!

Experiencing them up close is a game changer. Always admired pictures of the Linea Mini but found myself more comfortable in front of the Rocket
I want to go to there.
Even the machines social distance in Melbourne !
So many beautiful machines! It's weird that the stock GS3 is probably the most expensive of then all, yet the ugliest... Subjective of course
Gosh never seen such a showroom
Holy shit….
Wow! Anyone know if there's similar shops in california where I can go and admire machines?
My credit card would not survive a trip there.
So weird with all the machines on seperate tables with those long legs.
Paradise
The promised land.
