Espresso Potential (#)

  „Water mineral content - The water used for espresso must be filtered.  Some cities must even compensate for the mineral content of their water.  Over time oxygen will be forced out of the water in the espresso machine leading to off tasting water.  Try filling a small glass with water, letting it cool, and tasting it for off flavors.  If the water tastes strange you may want to dump the tanks daily and begin with fresh water.“

  „Good espresso at home: to even hope for a decent result one must spend about $200 - $225 for an espresso machine and about $175 to $275 for a grinder. If you go much cheaper than that you're better off getting a Moka pot (aka stove-top "espresso-maker"). Good moka coffee ain't the same as good espresso but it's way better than bad espresso.“

They must provide an atmosphere that accommodates their clientele, giving them a reason to keep coming back. Much of their traffic, quickly served, wandered back on their way to their ultimate destination, carrying with them their daily fix.“

Advice on Starting A Coffee Business (INeedCoffee.com)

  „This is especially important for the drive-thru locations. The Design Besides an attractive visual design, your espresso station must be also designed for speed and efficiency of service so your customers don't have a long wait. There have been times when I had to wait ten minutes to get served my latte, with only a few people ahead of me. Slow, sloppy service like that may reduce the number of drinks that you sell in a given time period, reflecting directly on your revenues.“
