As we all know and/or believe both gift and loyalty programs are highly desired. I've been trying to do as much research as possible on POS's and have gone through most if not all post on this forum. With that said I would like to get some additional information: 1. What POS's have an...

Has anyone here tried PC America POS software? Website is http://www.pcamerica.com/coffee_shop_POS.htm. I'm trying to decide what POS package is right. I see that many use Coffee Shop Manager but some have had support issues. Any advice/recommendations would be great. I also looked at HALO...

Graig, My wife and I just completed the Ambex course on 1/26 and found it very informative. By the way the class is now 4 days vs. 5. There are things you will learn other then roasting such as cupping, roaster maintenance, safety, etc…We found the cupping class very valuable… not so much the...

John P and ElPugDiablo Thanks for your comments!

ElPugDiablo you stated that I could save a bit money if the bathrooms, HVAC, and gas line are already in place. So did the 40k include those items? Just to be clear... I'm focusing on plumbing/electrical for equipment and sinks for the shop. I do know we will need to penetrate the concrete...

Thanks everyone for the replies... Glad to know I'm not crazy or missing something.

Ok, I was sitting here daydreaming about my new venture (final stages of opening a coffeehouse) and it hit me. I make macchiato here at home (doubles) roughly 1.75-20z of espresso with foam on top. I never had one from say SB or The Coffee Beanery but was wondering... How in the world do you...

I have found many drum roaster sites but who sales the fluid bed systems? The only one I have been able to find so far is Sivetz. Looking to see what is available for shop use with a capacity of 5kilo's or so.

Thanks BT!

Thanks BT! Will the Cimali PF work with the Mythos or will I need to purchase different PF's and if so, what? Sean

I'm still trying to decide which grinder to purchase. I like the NS Mythos Plus and swift and wanted to see how they compare. We plan to get the La Cimbali M39 and if memory serves me correct the swift will not accept the cimbali PF. Please confirm. With that said, which grinder(s) would you...

Thanks for the information and recommendations
