Keeping a maintenance log for a commercial espresso machine is essential for several key reasons:

Consistency in Coffee Quality
Regular maintenance ensures stable temperature, pressure, and cleanliness—crucial for delivering consistent taste in every cup.
Prevention of Breakdowns
Tracking tasks helps identify wear and tear early (e.g. seals, screens, burrs), reducing the risk of sudden machine failures and costly downtime.
Staff Accountability & Training
log clearly shows who completed each task and when, reinforcing responsibility and making it easier to onboard new baristas.
Compliance with Food Safety Standards
Health inspectors may require proof that equipment is cleaned and maintained regularly. A log is a simple way to demonstrate compliance.
Protecting Investment
Commercial machines are expensive. Routine, recorded maintenance extends the life of the equipment and protects your warranty.
Service History for Technicians
Technicians can diagnose issues faster when there’s a clear record of what’s been done, saving time and service costs.
