Choosing the Right Coffee Machine, Key Tips for Café Success

Another crucial decision a cafe owner needs to make is the selection of the coffee machine. It does not only involve choosing a well-known brand or the priciest model, but your machine must suit your specific requirements of the cafe, the area and the long-term business development strategies. Many cafes unfortunately, commit very expensive errors and fail to trust to random resellers, neglect important features, or purchase machines that are foreign markets. Here, we will give you tips to avoid these pitfalls and demonstrate to you why it is necessary to choose the appropriate coffee machine to ensure consistent quality, faster service, and profitable business.

Falling in Love with Random Resellers and Importers.

In many cases, cafes will end up purchasing machines sold by resellers or importers who will adopt the priciest models not because it is the best opportunity and makes the most sense, but because it pays them a better commission. This kills the cafes ROI in the first place. You end up not earning profits but having an overpriced machine, which does not suit what you actually need in business.

Failing to Conceive Features and Coffee Science.

The machine to be adopted is to be based on its features and technology, and not its brand name. Look for:

• Multi-boiler systems are to be fast and efficient.

• Hygienic and thermally stable copper piping.

• Adjustable pre-infusion and temperature on specialty coffee.

The lack of these features will employ irregular quality, slower service and dissatisfied customers.

Making assumptions on What Works Abroad Will Work Here.

It is not mandatory that because a machine is working in Italy, it will work in Australia, the US, and also in India. Every country has:
 

• Different ROI expectations

• Various cafe rooms and designs.

• Weather conditions are different.

• Different customer demands

The arrangement you have will be based on your local environment.

Disregarding Spare Parts and Service Reliability.

Consider, your cafe machine stops in the rush hour-and waiting weeks or months to get parts because the importer is dependent upon another company in a foreign country. This will bring your business to your knees. Always check:

 

• Are spare parts going to be available in 5 years time?

• Is it possible to deliver service immediately?

• Does the brand have a physical presence in your country or is it a name over an importer?

 

No Long-Term Planning

A coffee machine is not a one-time investment; it is a long-term investment. When your system is not able to grow (additional stores, increased traffic, new coffee menu), then your cafe will be slow to grow.

Final Word

Most cafes do not fail due to poor coffee, but rather due to poor judgment in the selection of coffee set-up. Allow yourself not to be manipulated by resellers or importers into your future.
