If you own or use a coffee machine and it is used in a workplace or commercial environment it is likely that it uses pressurised steam and will therefore fall within the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000. This means that you are required by law to have your coffee machine inspected by a competent professional certified to carry out pressure system inspections in accordance with an official Written Scheme of Examination. Not only is it mandatory by law but the absence of an up to date inspection certificate will most likely invalidate your insurance. More importantly, these inspections need to be carried out to protect you, your staff, and your customers from harm.
The fundamental's to making a good cuppa is consistency, and so maintaining the coffee machine well by keeping on top of servicing and filter changes, helps to ensure consistency for your customers, prevent costly downtime, staying ahead of any competition, and importantly meeting your obligations to ensure your staff, your customers and you stay safe and compliant.
The above photo shows the remains of a coffee machine after it exploded in the café at well known supermarket chain, Farnborough, Hampshire in 2010 injuring several people.
This is why a professional and competent espresso machine engineer needs to maintain your espresso machine. By law, espresso machine boilers must be inspected annually under PSSR 2000 regs.

Since early 2000 it is a legal requirement to have an annual PSSR boiler test carried out on your coffee machine. Failure to do so can lead to invalid insurance warranty.
