Oh man, we are trying to jump through all the hoops correctly too right now. We want to be legit, but it's hard when each person we talk to says something a little different. Hope you are able to figure it all out and I will be watching this thread in case I can learn anything you learn! Hope it...

Thanks Mados! This forum has been so helpful to us! Looking forward to keep learning!

Hi Ellatas, It's not a very big BBQ Roaster, The drum holds I think 5 lbs? But I just talked to the City and the Fire Marshal again today and talked to them about being able to roast from outside on a porch we are making off of the trailer and then carry the drum into the trailer to dump the...

Hey Guys, has anyone turned an enclosed trailer into a mobile roastery? My husband and I are working on one right now with the guidelines from our city's health department. I'm looking at building our mobile sink unit and lining the trailer in non-porous wall panels and flooring. Just wondered...

So sorry to ask a question and then not get back on for awhile! Just had a baby and have been a little behind on other things! Our main future goal is to start our own coffee shop roasting our own beans, but for now we are planning to just start slow and roast for friends/family as we learn more...

Oh Ok! I was looking at the Cottage food laws here, I just didn't see Coffee Beans listed as an option, but I'll have to recheck into that. I think I'm going to have to go in and talk to someone face to face to figure it out. We are about to buy a BBQ roaster as a starter roaster from a guy and...

Thanks! Excited to find out it's a legit option! I'll have to give him a call!

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here, I've just been wondering too if it's even possible to sell beans from like say a BBQ homemade roaster? Do you have to get your roaster inspected before you can sell from it? I've been searching our state's info and can't seem to find out what is needed...

Good to know! We also looked at the US roasters and really liked them. Still may go with them someday, but just looking at all our options. Thanks!

Hi just wondering if it's $10K for both the roaster and espresso machine? or just the roaster? Thanks!

Hi Everyone! Hubby and I were looking at the TJ-067 1KG GAS COFFEE ROASTER. It's about $4,000, but we couldn't find a whole lot of information on them on the web. According to the reviews on their website it seems to be nice, but we also know it would be easy for them to make fake reviews on...

Have you seen/Has anyone used the Ipad Square system that you plug an Ipad into? They say you can also use it for online transactions. https://squareup.com/sell-in-store We were thinking of using it as we've heard decent things about it from friends of friends, (although I'm not a huge fan of...

Thanks guys for the laughs and the advice. :coffee: I guess my question was kind of silly. I shouldn't chat on here late at night or I ramble! Haha! Good to know about writing what we decide down so there is no trouble in the future. Great to be able to read Starbucks requirements as well! We...

Thanks for all the advice! Yes, we mostly were thinking of using the ceramic for our Cappuccino that way my artsy husband can do some coffee art for fun too without it being hidden by a lid. We also want to offer quite a few different teas in pots and cups. We will for sure have a commercial...

Hi everyone! I was wondering what everyone does for cups in their shops? I've been browsing website after website and starting to get bogged down with the options! We for sure want to offer paper cups and sleeves with our logo printed on them to keep our name out there, but also thinking about...
