Hey there, Sean Marshall here in Houston, Texas. Java Pura Coffee Catering, Catalina Coffee, and Fusion Beans are where I make my paycheck, and surprisingly all owned by different folks. Good to be in the group.

Lattes On Location, we've been doing espresso bar catering, not retail sales or concessions, but primarily catering in the DFW, TX area for 6 years. Doing a lot of B2B mocha marketing, but also there for private events. No more coffee shop, everything goes in the latte mobile and gets set up on site. Love it.

Hey all! I just discovered Barista Exchange, glad to see other espresso caterers on here! I own La Vita Espresso Catering in the Minneapolis , Twin Cities metropolitan area. We don't have a retail operation - we are strictly a catering business. How has everyone been doing in this economy? Also, what equipment does everyone use? I have several La Cimbali M32 Bistro's, a La Cimbali M21 Junior (my primary unit) and an Elektra T1 Deliziosa and a Pasquini Livia 90 for small caterings. We also use Mazzer Mini grinders and an Azkoyen Capriccio automatic dosing grinder for large caterings. Have been contemplating buying a GS/3 but need to wait on that for a little while. I see someone here mentioned the GS/3. How well does it perform when catering a large group? I've found the La Cimbali units die quickly and need to regenerate steam power at times. I like the idea of a dual boiler but would like info on how well they actually work when facing a line of 50+ people! Anyone here use Alterra Coffee from Milwaukee? Their products are awesome!

I went with super automatic so i don't have to haul a grinder, dump box, etc. I use the Jura X-7, with additional milk support via a Commercial Froth Au Lait. Hope you are doing good business up there!
