Bernie, in all honesty, I would ask "why?". The only reason I can
think of is that you don't have enough room on the counter for the
revolving urns, plus the 4 group marzocco :-D

I'm not trying to flatter you, just I want to state the simple truth
that one of the very best, and I really truly mean that, cups of
coffee I have ever had was in your shop (that really delicious
Brazillian one, can't remember where it was from exactly). As much
as I occasionally enjoy a French Press, it isn't something I want to
drink every day. I personally prefer the clarity of filter drip (or
even better vac pot, all the benefits of FP, very little of the
sediment). I realize that it would be a lot more difficult to have
vac in a commerical environment though.

You might want to try it out, and see how your customers like it, but
I think that the convenience in a busy environment of being able to
just pour a cup out of the thermal urns and go might still be
worthwhile.
