How to choose

How We Would Choose Your UNIC Machine

The first decision is not simply the model name. It is whether your operation needs traditional barista control or automated consistency, then how much volume, thermal control, and simultaneous output the bar requires.

Traditional value

Choose Classic for straightforward commercial reliability

Classic is the starting point when the operation needs volumetric traditional espresso, durable construction, familiar controls, and a platform that is practical to own and service.

Multi-boiler

Choose Aura when thermal precision matters more

Aura is the step-up path for programs that want independent boiler control and stronger stability through changing service pace and sustained café demand.

Flagship

Choose Stella Epic for deeper barista control

Stella Epic adds advanced extraction management and programmable profiles for teams that will use the additional control and justify the investment.

Automatic

Choose Tango XP when staffing is the real constraint

Tango XP solves a different problem. It automates grinding, brewing, and milk workflow for environments where speed and consistency matter more than manual barista technique.

Why buy from Capital City

Don’t Buy a Machine From Someone Who Can’t Fix It

A low online price does not help when the machine is down during service. We sell commercial equipment as a supported program, not a curbside box drop.

We are an authorized commercial equipment dealer with an in-house technician. We help with site planning, utilities, water treatment, setup, and ongoing service, so the recommendation has to work after the sale.

We also roast and supply the coffee. That means we think through the complete program: machine, grinder, water, workflow, drink quality, service access, and beans, not just the equipment transaction.

What your package can include

Equipment, Grinder, Water Filtration, Setup, Service, and Coffee

Buying the machine is only one piece. A reliable espresso setup also needs the right grinder, water filtration, site readiness, installation planning, training, service access, and coffee.

01

The Machine

Matched to drink volume, menu, staffing, counter space, electrical reality, and budget.

02

The Grinder

Paired to the machine so extraction, speed, regular espresso, and decaf workflows operate correctly.

03

Installation Planning

Electrical, plumbing, filtration, site readiness, delivery, and setup details reviewed before the machine arrives.

04

Service and Coffee

Our technician services what we sell, and our roasting team can support the espresso program when coffee is needed too.

Common questions

Before You Choose a UNIC Machine

Is UNIC a traditional or superautomatic brand?+
Both. Classic, Aura, and Stella Epic are traditional barista-operated machines. Tango XP and Tango ST are superautomatic platforms designed for automated extraction and milk workflows.
Should I choose Classic, Aura, or Stella Epic?+
Choose Classic for straightforward reliability and value. Choose Aura when multi-boiler temperature control is important. Choose Stella Epic when trained baristas need deeper extraction control and programmable profiles.
When does Tango XP make more sense?+
Tango XP makes sense when the operation needs fast, repeatable espresso and milk drinks without relying on a trained barista. It is suited to hotels, offices, campuses, airports, restaurants, and high-volume foodservice environments.
Do you install and service UNIC machines?+
We help coordinate electrical, plumbing, filtration, site readiness, freight, placement, and installation requirements. Our in-house technician services the machines we sell within our serviceable region.
Can I buy UNIC equipment without buying coffee?+
Yes. Equipment-only purchases are available. We can also quote grinders, filtration, installation planning, service, and opening coffee as part of a complete package.
Should I compare UNIC with other brands?+
Usually, yes. We also carry La Cimbali, Casadio, Nuova Simonelli, and Rancilio. The right machine depends on staffing, output, budget, service access, and the level of control the operation will actually use.
What local service area do you cover?+
We work with commercial accounts across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Western Massachusetts, and Eastern Pennsylvania. Service availability depends on the exact location, equipment, and account needs.
