Dont know if this helps but there are real coffee shops in Taiwan that sell beans etc. Havent been there for a while but I remember at least one in Hsinchu, probably because there are a lot of foreigners there.
Friend in China wants to purchase an espresso machine. I am aware there are members based in China. If you have purchased a machine in China, whom from? Is importing from overseas feasible? Also, other than home roasting, where would you be purchasing brown beans from? Shes based in Zhuhai, Guangdong.
Di Bella has operations in China. Open for business? (machines as well as beans sales)
Cheers
