Add a great people person/accountant/creative mind to guide them and you might just survive if you treat them all with respect and compassion. Oh- and a shite load of cash.

    The rest is just bragging rights.

    The people go without saying......it's about equipment (the thread).

    was hoping for picatures

        Filter - Marco SP - 9 x2 with Glass Kalita Wave
        EK43 - coffee burrs
        Marco Uber boiler for tea
        2 x Acai pearl for dosing
        2 x Brewista smart scale for drip tray scales

          I'd get a toilet with an extra wide waste pipe to facilitate easily flushing away your life savings. Perhaps invite you friends and neighbours to help, you know the ones who said you make a great coffee, you should open a cafe

              Completely hypothetical, I won't be opening a cafe, I can ensure you of that, plus I don't have any friends

                No, as above, I was only wondering what the creme of da crop was for commercial folk.

                I already know what the dream domestic unit is >>>>>> Nespresso George Clueless mkii.

                  The trouble is with serious coffee drinkers, 9/10 of them are impossible to please. Extraordinarily fussy.

                  Coffee too hot, cold, weak, strong, bitter, milky, too much froth, not enough froth, too sunny, too shady, hard seats, slow service, microwaved my carrot cake when I asked for cold and the icing ran off (my wife's complaint recently ) etc etc

                  Imagine having customers like that.
                  No thanks.

                        Probably applies to 90% of these tragic cs'ers.

                        imagine being stranded on an island with them, a ship load of new espresso machines but no beans !

                          If you were going to set up a Botique Coffee Shop, what equipment would you select ?

                          Probably borrowing from Seinfeld here but what about a coffee shop where the customer comes in and makes the coffee for themselves on high end machines ...and then still blames the cafe for the bad coffee.

                          Fear not. I'll throw in a free turmeric latte^ to wash away any bad taste.


                          ^not that there's anything wrong with that

                              Oh Kath it is definitely a classy bow teak place if they serve turmeric lattes but I'm up to pussy's bow. Maybe some other time. Love, Kim
