FDA does not typically regulate commercial cooking machinery as a medical or food product, but food-contact surfaces must comply with applicable FDA food-contact material standards. NSF International certification is widely required by US buyers and health departments as evidence of food-safety compliance, even though it is not a federal import requirement.
Commercial espresso machines designed for high-volume, continuous professional use are classified here under food-service machinery, while household coffee makers are typically classified under electrothermic domestic appliances. The distinction turns on design capacity, construction grade, and whether the unit is marketed for professional or domestic use.
