Choosing coffee equipment that will help your business grow is an important step for a new café. Ensuring that equipment is installed properly is essential. Experienced independent technicians from the Service Layer Cooperative created this session to help you choose wisely, understand what your equipment needs, and avoid costly mistakes and delays. 

In this session, you’ll learn: 

  • Common Features: Learn how different styles and sizes of espresso machines, grinders, and coffee brewers affect usability, cost of ownership, and long-term reliability. 
  • Installation Requirements: Understand what’s needed before your machine arrives and how to identify and resolve potential problems with power, water, and drainage. 
  • Installation and Start-up Procedures: Learn how proper installation protects your investment (and warranty) and sets your shop up for success. 
  • Additional tips and insights from seasoned experts. As fellow small businesses in your community, we’ve seen it all and want to help! 

This class is perfect for café owners, technicians, and anyone looking to increase their understanding of coffee equipment features and installations.
