Hello,
I am NOT a barista! I am a pastry chef who is opening up a patisserie in Rogers, AR and want to serve basic espresso drinks along with French Press service to compliment pastries and desserts. I am looking for a used espresso machine and would love some guidance from anyone out there who's willing to give it.
I am hoping to partner with a local coffee house to supply beans for us (and I'm hoping a house blend). I'd like to sell their beans and promote them in exchange for some much needed training. In the meantime I've started to look around for a fairly automatic machine. One that I'm looking at right now is a used Conti Twin Star 2. Anybody have any pointers or feedback on Conti's in general? Am I headed in the right direction. There are so many whistles and bells that I am lost and Seattle is a LOOONG way from Arkansas so I have to assume no coffee school for me;)
Thanks!
Tammy
