ice makers

Posted by Dennis McQuoid on November 2, 2010 at 8:07am in Equipment & Tech
Being just a coffee and tea house, and rarely serving a glass of ice water, I'm a bit confused about how much ice making capacity I will require, and which type of cubes are best for ice coffee and tea.

There are counter-top dispensers that make nugget ice that offer benefits to me from an engineering standpoint due to a unique drainage configuration issue. However, I will be making Japanese style ice coffee and the nuggets may be too small. Not sure.

Regarding capacity, If I serve 75 (16 oz) ice drinks during a 4 hour peak period the day, and a total of 100 during a 10 hour day - what size machine do I need?

Thanks much.
