Re: opeining a new coffee shop advice please

Hi Kevin,

The most important thing you need to figure out is a complete budget
that includes all of your supplies so you can decide what kind of
machine you can afford. If there are some good local coffee shops, go
in and ask them about their machines and what they think of them. As
long as you aren't like right next door, a lot of small shop owners
will not consider you as threatening competition and will be willing to
share their opinion of the machines that they are using. That way you
can get some useful feedback and maybe some hands on experience to see
what you are looking for. You will find that a lot of the reputable
names all have their pros and cons, and often in the end it comes down
to the individual's preference.

I have a new online retail website that I have been working on,
specializing in espresso makers, coffee makers, coffees and teas. I do
not have most of my commercial inventory online yet, but if you are
interested in La Pavoni, ECM, or Wega commercial machines I can get
those to you at very competative pricing. In particular, my La Pavoni
distributor has a few great discount packages where you can get pretty
much all of your supplies for starting a coffee shop shipped on the
same pallet. I can check and see if my ECM and Wega distributors offer
the same kind of packages. I can also probably sweet talk my local
distributors into giving some great deals on the Rancilio commercial
line if you are interested in those.

Let me know if you are interested or if you just want more info.
