Busy Barbie 007 asked:


I’ve never been an avid coffee drinker, I’m more of an espresso 2-3x a week. However, I’m trying to cut costs, so I bought a coffee mate (espresso machines were too much) and started making coffee at home. I figure i’m saving at least $10/week. It’s pretty good, but now I find myself making coffee daily…

My question is- How much coffee do you drink? Is it needed to function?

Looking to learn about the best way to buy or lease an espresso machine in the Atlanta area. I guess any Georgia Coffee Commercial Supplier tips will help.

I need to either buy or rent a small commercial espresso machine, I have been looking around but it’s sooo confusing out there when it comes to coffee!!!
I have a meeting next week with a pod style coffee machine Representative, but i have heard these machines are not ideal? I want to be up and running in a month from now and really just want names of good espresso machines to go with.
Yay! finally some great advice! I was beginning to loose hope! Thanks so much guys.

I am looking to invest in a high quality, stainless steel combination espresso/coffee brewing machine. Does anyone know what brands I should consider?
Dualit does not sell a combination espresso/coffe maker. Nice try though.

Maybe you can tell me what I’m doing wrong. Here are the exact steps I take in brewing espresso:
1) Grind beans on a fine setting.
2) Fill metal filter with grounds (b/c I’m making 4 cups)
3) Tamper the grounds so they are tightly packed
4) Insert and lock Brew Head
5) Fill glass container to the 4 cup mark
6) Dump water into reservoir and tightly close lid
7) Turn knob to Brew Allow espresso to brew
**At this point, once espresso is dripping, steam is coming from the brew head. Is it escaping when it shouldn’t be?**
9) Place frothing head into milk
10) Turn knob to Steam and nothing happens.

I can’t even “release the pressure” like the manual says to do so I’m always afraid that I’ll get steam burns when removing the reservoir lid.

Please help!!

I have a plain ol’ Mr. Coffee espresso/cappuccino maker that I keep around because I like the milk frother on it.

However I don’t like coffee or espresso, so that part hasn’t even been used!

Do you think I could just turn it on to use to make hot water for steeping tea, hot cocoa, etc. etc?

Frenzoze asked:


I’m going into the coffee business so I’m doing a little research to find out what commercial equipment I need (grinders, espresso machines, blenders, coffee machines, etc). I do know that I want a group 2 espresso automatic machine, as far as brand, I have no idea.

Also, if someone knows of a supplier in the SF bay area that would be great. Thank you for any help you can provide.
I almost forgot, please support why you suggested this brand. The more backup and information you can provide, the better.

I’m not trying to be picky but if we could avoid “one liner” answers that would be really helpful to me. Thx !

I am extremely addicted to coffee and spent way too much money on an espresso machine. I can’t help it, I’m addicted. I probably drink around 4 cups of coffee a day. I usually drink 2 cups of black coffee and 2 cups of espresso. Non fat white mochas are my favorite i don’t buy coffee i make my own. and i know too much about coffee since ive worked at a coffee shop for several years!

Does anyone know who furnishes the all-in-one coffee/espresso/latte/chocolate ‘hot drinks” machines to 7-11 stores? I saw one in Maryland that was great and want to find out more about possibly getting one for my c-store. Any help is appreciated.
