Hello everyone 

Trust you are all having a good Sunday:

Need some some insights and suggestions here. I am looking into getting equipment for a coffee shop ..for expresso, cappuccino and regular coffee. What factors should I be considering to guide my decision, any technicalities that I should be aware of and what kind of questions should I be asking? I have thought about leasing versus buying, new versus used; any pointers on those? 

Also, any recommendations as far as equipment goes and why? Did anyone go to the specialty coffee expo in Seattle?

Thank you in anticipation of your insightful comments.

Stephen
