Hi everyone,
I wanted to give a shout out to the member points leaders and expose anyone who is not aware of this feature to it. Basically members can earn points for activity on the site. The highest points scoring option is inviting new members, so feel free to invite your whole address book if you'd like.

I must confess, this had the opposite of the intended effect on me. Once I saw I was in the top 20, I figured I was spending too much time online!

Flavored drip coffee should be exterminated from the face of the planet. Maybe that should be the core cause of the point system. Each point you get causes one ounce of crap (Flavored Coffee)to be poured down a drain somewhere in the Midwestern United States. I would definitely participate in that point system Stephen. My opinion is so right,that the original post was on my birthday. Put that in your portafilter and pull it!
Stephen Curtis said:I guess it's kind of like flavored drip - some people think they like it...lol.
It's just not for me, but I am good at ignoring things so no harm done.
Scott's comment proves how well people like it, apparently, as I am thinking "Who cares if it IS rigged?" =]

Yes, it can be done. I would talk to the guys at Sunergos in Louisville. They did it on a shoe string like that. But they did most all the work their selves, bought used equipment, and worked 100 plus hours a week and didn't pay themselves. Their wi…
like i said, i just pop it open manually. i bought a receipt printer but it's not hooked up cause i haven't needed it yet - my credit card machine can print cash receipts if needed (just enter the amount).

Try cinnamon and honey in a latte. We called it a miele. I've never used the syrup, I've always used fresh ground. But that was really good.
As a roaster, I have a question. Who can afford to sell beans at $4 a pound? That's my purchase price for green on many I sell. We have a tiered system. Based on the price of the bean its self and how much people order. So, for instance, you only or…
This group is for all coffee shop owners and retailers to join.
Jared, admittedly I was looking for replies geared more towards the practice of buying for the future as opposed to conserving operations funding by starting with lower-end gear, but your recommendation looks incredible! Thank you very much!

lemme throw you a couple observations from my first month of being open:
1) i bought a 3 group LM GB/5 used, cause it was a good deal and in good condition. my initial plan was to buy a new 2-group linea and PID mod it, but the used GB/5 was cheape…

Brady, thank you for the response.
You made a great point about the opening week needing the higher capacity. I would imagine the opening week, as a first impression, would be critical in putting a shop's best step (and product) forward to encourag…
For spectacle and build quality there is nothing to match the KVDW
I believe your conclusion is correct. If your growth and profitability curves match most cases that I'm aware of, you'll be less able to afford equipment after 1 year than you are before you open. Buy good quality equipment at the start that will me…
