Hello all~
My name is JC, Im an American who is living in SE Asia at the moment. I plan to be heavily active over the next few weeks and will be responding to messages as quickly as possible.
Ive selected the username "CoffeeSponge" because I would like to soak up as much information as possible, as quickly as possible.
I have been put in the unique position of starting up a high-end, quality driven coffee store. My partner, who recently acquired a coffee franchise, is impressed by Espressamente Illy and their concepts.
As I am a newbie to the forum, I would appreciate any forum specific hints (where to post questions for a big start up), or threads to look at, in order to get the ball rolling.
My immediate concern is all equipment based. I need to get leads on machinery, including a commercial espresso machine, coffee makers, blenders, everything. When you Google terms such as "Top 10 Commercial Espresso Machines" it takes you in a million directions, and as of now Ive yet to nail anything down.
Quality products and good operators are a must, but I need help picking out the electronics.
Money is not an issue - I would like the best of the best. If you could buy any equipment for a gourmet coffee (franchise), what equipment would you splurge for and why?
Any information from like minded individuals and experts in the field would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much, see you around!
