Financing & Leasing

Starting or growing a cafe is an exciting venture — but the upfront cost of commercial equipment can be a major hurdle. At Berardi's Fresh Roast, we believe the right equipment shouldn't be out of reach. That's why we offer flexible financing and leasing options on our full line of commercial espresso machines, grinders, brewers, and blenders, making it easier than ever to equip your business with professional-grade equipment from day one.

Whether you're opening your first coffee shop, upgrading an existing setup, or expanding to a new location, our financing programs are designed to keep your cash flow healthy while putting top-tier equipment in your hands.

Equipment We Finance

We carry commercial equipment from the most trusted names in the industry and offer financing on all of it:

Espresso Machines — From entry-level cafe setups to high-volume commercial systems, we carry machines from Astoria, Rancilio, and Bunn. Our lineup includes traditional semi-automatic machines like the Rancilio Classe series as well as super-automatic options like the Rancilio Egro line and the Astoria Sabrina — machines built for the demands of a busy cafe environment.

Espresso Grinders — A great espresso starts with a great grind. We offer commercial grinders from Rancilio, including the KRYO 65, Rocky, and Stile models — each designed for consistent, precise grinding at cafe-level volume. Financing is available on all grinder models.

Coffee Brewers — For drip coffee service, we carry commercial brewers from Bunn, including the ICB Infusion Series and the VP17 Pourover line — reliable, high-capacity brewers trusted by cafes and restaurants nationwide.

Blenders — Build out a complete beverage menu with commercial blenders from Vitamix, ideal for smoothies, frozen coffee drinks, and blended specialty beverages.

Your Financing Options

We work with established financing partners to give you options that fit your budget and business model:

Financing (Own the Equipment) — Spread the cost of your equipment over manageable monthly payments. At the end of your term, the equipment is yours. This is a great option for businesses that plan to use their machines for years to come and want to build equity in their assets.

Leasing — Keep your upfront costs low and preserve working capital with a lease. Leasing can offer lower monthly payments and may provide tax advantages. It's an ideal option for new businesses looking to minimize risk, or for operators who like to upgrade their equipment regularly.

Quick & Easy Application — Our financing application process is fast and straightforward. Many of our equipment listings include a "Click to Apply" option that connects you directly with our financing partner for quick approval. You can also contact our team and we'll walk you through the process personally.

Starting a Cafe? We Can Help

Opening a coffee shop involves more than just choosing a location and picking out furniture. The equipment you select will define the quality of every drink you serve. Berardi's Fresh Roast has been helping new cafe owners get started for over four decades, and our financing program is a key part of that support.

Here's how we support new and growing businesses:

Equipment Consultation — Not sure what you need? Our team will help you determine the right machines and setup based on your menu, expected volume, space, and budget. We'll recommend equipment that makes sense for where you are today and where you're headed.

Training — We don't just sell you a machine and walk away. Our team provides training to help you and your staff get comfortable with your new equipment, so you're pulling quality shots and serving great coffee from day one.

Wholesale Coffee Supply — Beyond equipment, we supply fresh-roasted coffee, teas, syrups, sauces, frozen drink mixes, and everything else you need to run a full beverage program. Financing your equipment through us means you have a single, trusted partner for your entire cafe operation. Learn more about Wholesale →
