Hi everyone,
I am currently working on starting a cafe and have been doing some research on coffee machines and equipment. I wanted to hear from you some thoughts on the machines that I have picked out for my cafe.
My cafe will have a floor space of around 70 square meters and we expect to serve around 100 customers a day and slowly climb to 300 customers/day.
Here are the list of equipment that I am considering:
1) Espresso machine
Aurelia II vs Appia II
I am leaning towards Appia II as the cost difference is quite high.
2) Grinder
Mazzer Major vs Mazzer Kony
There doesn't seem to be a consensus that Kony is in fact a better machine than Major.
I understand that there might be some benefits from using conical burr but I am leaning towards Major at this point.
3) Blender
Vitamix The Quite One vs Drink Machine Advance 5086
Although I love how the fact that The Quite One has the sound cover, it is twice as expensive as the other model. So I am leaning towards Vitamix 5086.
Please feel free to leave your thoughts on what I have decided above and also feel free to recommend any other machines you think would suit my needs. Lastly, if anyone has suggestions for Coffee Brewing machine, please make that recommendation also.
Thank you all for your help :wink:
