The calm lighting, cozy atmosphere, and scent of coffee coalesce into an inviting allure that keeps your coffee shop busy from dawn to dusk.

Starting Your Own Coffee Shop? 5 Major Things Not to Forget

Opening a coffee shop is a terrific way to run a business and get regular customers. The best coffee shops are intimate, friendly, and above all else, serve great coffee. You’ve likely been in countless coffee shops that make it look easy. While running a coffee shop can be highly enjoyable, it’s not something you can do in your sleep (without coffee!). Here are five…

Franke Superautomatic espresso machine for sale

Our drive through shop is upgrading to a 2 group semi-auto and we are needing to sell our Franke Evolution. We bought it new, and it has had all the regular PM, and has been on a filter/softener the whole time. We also just completed a full maintenance, tuneup, and bench test by a certified tech. It's in great shape and ready to go. Would like to get $6,500, but am open to offers.…

6' Naked Barista pic!

Now that I have your attention! We see many projects where the specifications are vague and the drawings show little to no details for how to build a Barista Bar. I'll come back and update this in more detail and we will fully disclose our construction. It has taken me 7 years as MillRock CEO to evolve the MILLROCK Barista Construction to something we are proud will exceed all expectations for performance.

Stainless steel is already recycled and at the end of our days the…

Whip it up with a cup of Devo

When the mocha comes along, you must whip it. Put on your red dome stair-looking hat and admit that you are not men, but Devo. Well Mark Mothersbaugh, former front man of Devo, coffee lover and now entrepreneur of Mutato Muzika is all wrapped in one.

He’s been at the grind of new wave music since the 80’s with the well known group and now his music can be heard in commercials, cartoons and movies. He loves the vibe of music and the one coffee gives him. And how appropriate is that;… Continue

Flavio Urizzi- Wishing him well for a full recovery

Over the weekend I heard that CMA (Astoria/San Marino/Argenta) Sales Manager Flavio Urizzi suffered chest pains while he was in Ireland as a sponsor/judge for the Irish barista championships. He had to undergo some surgical treatment but is now resting comfortably and will fly back to Italy today or tomorrow. Flavio has always been a great ambassador for coffee and of course for Italian Espresso machines. I was looking forward to seeing him at the FHA in Singapore, although he now wont be there… Continue

Close to opening...

Well just when I thought things weren't going to work out then ended up working out after all. I finally got all the plumbing and electrical done, I was putting the sheet rock up last night and mudding and taping (always fun) and even installed 1 of the 3 LCD tv's in the main dining area. Carpeted the lounge area to get ready for the furniture which they tried to deliver yesterday and wouldn't fit!! So now I have to go and pick out new furniture, that sucks. I am getting very excited to share… Continue

Does Good Coffee Need Sugar?

I blogged on this after a customer asked this question this week. She had been told that Good coffee will never need sugar. Read below and tell me what you think....

A great customer of Star Gardentown Cafe - Toowoomba - was told that ‘good coffee does not need sugar’, is this true? I have to say that there is no definite answer to this one. There are times where it is a well defined ‘Yes’ and others where you wouldn’t dream of it. I guess the first question that needs to be… Continue

Mid City Caffe Opens

Mid City Caffe Opens

Another fancy coffee place, thank goodness!

By CARISSA DIMARGO

Updated 3:00 PM EDT, Mon, Aug 17, 2009

After several delays, Mid City Caffé finally opened Saturday at 1626 14th St. N.W., a floor above the quirky (read: hot pink) Miss Pixie's Furnishings and Whatnot.

We're kinda holding our breath to see how a second-story coffeeshop will fare on 14th, but if they fail, don't blame the coffee, which comes from Durham, N.C.'s Counter… Continue

Free pastry or free wi-fi???

Okay - so like many of you, I'm on Facebook, and I saw the Starbucks Free Pastry Day event happening for today.

I think this is great marketing, and Starbucks hit a home run (with me at least) when they did the Vote Promo last November (anything to get people to vote is a-okay with me!). But, today - I was going to go into the Starbucks in my neighborhood (S. Beverly Drive - Beverly Hills, CA) but then I started to think about what I really wanted.

Did I really want a free… Continue

What a difference a grinder mod makes....

i just finished the install of Michael Elvin's 'Elvinator' and I am so impressed! Just a little piece of plastic in between the doser lever plate and the chute changes everything. On top of a good cleaning, its like I have a new Mazzer! Sure, a little mucking about and scrubbing after getting the doser removed is always messy, but a clean grinder is a better performing one. My counter is cleaner, and my barista are already freaking out! I highly recommend this mod to anyone who works with a… Continue
