ancillary equipment that you can buy to help you produce the very best coffee
possible. Buying these useful items online has huge advantages: it can save you
lots of time, you can easily find the very best deals and you can have the
equipment delivered directly to your door. So what sort of extra equipment will
you need to consider?Espresso machines: These come in all shapes, sizes and
finishes, so make sure you compare web sites to find the most suitable machine
for your business. Try and get an espresso machine that offers a good warranty
as this will cover you for the first year or so if anything goes wrong.Grinders:
When you buy your coffee beans, they will probably come already roasted - the
next stage is to grind them. Getting a decent coffee grinder is vital for
producing good-quality coffee; if the beans are too finely ground or too
coarsely ground the flavour of the coffee can be greatly impaired. If possible,
look for a burr grinder rather than a blade grinder, as this produces much more
evenly ground coffee. It is also recommended that you replace your grinder
regularly, so it is a good idea to shop around and find the best price.Cups:
There are lots of different types and sizes of coffee cups, including small
espresso cups, latte mugs and latte glasses. Many online companies will
personalise your cups for you- so you could brand them with your company's name,
for example.Extras: As well as the larger items above, you will probably need
consumables such as napkins, paper cups, and so on. Some websites sell packages
containing many of these items, so you may be able to find a better deal if you
buy these items together.
