    Looking for recommendations for small food business for take-away coffee?

    I'm not trained as barista so thought machine using freshly ground for each cup might be best bet? All I would have to do is press a button I think?

    Am open to any suggestions though

    It depends what your doin. If coffee is part of your central focus then get some training. If its a side issue then Bean to cup is probably best.

    Thanks CH2008

    Coffee is not the central focus but I do want decent coffee.

    Any recommendations for these bean-cup machines?

    Just to add- I know that some people on this board might consider a bean to cup machine a crime! I would really appreciate any advice or even where to go for advice though!

    Start by talking to the commercial suppliers; bewleys, the green bean, javarepublic, North south coffee to name a few. They'll throw some ideas and prices your way that you should then research. Let us know what they suggest and I'll give you an opinion.

    did a lot of research when I was buying my coffee Machine and ended up buying a DeLonghi ESAM for under €600. Shop around but be careful who you go with. I went with coffeeitalia.ie and they were a disaster. They took ages to send me my machine and then sent me the wrong one and refused to answer phone calls or reply to emails. Good luck with whatever you choose

    Can anyone recommend a coffee machine for the office that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I'm the only person in the office who drinks coffee, we dont have a stove so I cant use a coffee maker.

    If it's just for yourself, have a look at the aeropress. Easy to use, pretty much unbreakable and easy to clean up after use.

    Pair it with a hand grinder like :

    It's what I use in the office.
