Hello,
I am trying to decide on the best way to approach my initiative to open a small coffee shop from equipment perspective. I've tried to find info but I did not find such specific info. I mean the info is all over the place but I find it hard to narrow it down to my specific needs. I'd really appreciate experienced baristas'/shop owners'/equipment enthusiasts' inputs and references to the following:
- Owning refurbished Vs. leasing (not necessarily the financial implication but rather focusing on the reliability of such machines and services)
- Which machines would you recommend based on reliability ranking (I'd like to narrow it down to 2-group dual boiler or HX machines)?
- Matching Grinders
- Which sellers would you recommend for doing business with for either refurbished and/or leasing?
- Preferred roasters
- Preferred/recommended training programs/centers?
I understand some may refrain from promoting specific vendors or specific info and I'd really like honest, non-biased inputs, you can write to me privately. to gedit@comcast.net
Thank you.
