„In a perfect world, having a cart in front of their door would be optimum,. When I lived in Seattle, I did espresso machine repair for a few of the local Cafe's, in a couple that had decent espresso and cute barristas, I'd opt to just trade my services for free joe any time, so normally either just before I hit my car, or right afterwards, would drop by one to get my java instead of making it at home. Now a days, there are no places like that, I don't have to commute to work since my shop is also at my house and beans are free due to the fact my brother owns a roaster.“

„I was wondering what were the negatives and positives of owning a drive-thru espresso stand or cart versus the sit-down cafe? Or buying an already existing shop?“

„Neil Edwards, who runs La Tazzina, a Kansas City espresso cart, grew up in Prairie Grove, Ark., and has never set foot in Seattle. But when it came to choosing an espresso blend for his business, he turned to the emerald city and quickly narrowed his search to Espresso Vivace and Caffe D'arte. In the end, he chose D'arte's Firenze, the lightest of their four standard blends. Edwards says it isn't easy to get his customers to drink straight shots, but he notes that on this particular day he has gone through every demitasse he placed on top of his espresso machine.“

„Don't cover the counter with a selection of 10 different bakery items only to keep running out of 3 selections because you don't have room to keep them in stock. A common mistake many cart seekers make is trying to do too much from their espresso cart. Overreaching your cart’s purpose results in crowding of its precious counter space with accessories and products that make for an inefficient workspace and overtaxed power supply. Cart operators will make business easier for themselves and better serve their customers by accepting the fact that a 6-foot espresso cart is not a reasonable substitute for a full service café.“

„You need service within an hour. If you’re down and if you are running an espresso cart and you can’t make espresso, you’ll lose hundreds of dollars a day.” In the seven years that Babcock has had this machine, he can’t remember a time that it has broken down. If it did break down, he said, “It’s just been one time when it was clogged or something.”“

„"My idea of coffee, which is still in my head, came from my student days when my friends and I frequented one of Bilbao's grand old-world cafes, the La Concordia. The cafe was magnificent and the espresso was quite good too - you won't find the same again, although I like to think that the espresso pod may replicate it."“
