I have used this to teach milk texturing before, and it definately saves some $$$'s until the student is ready for the real stuff. I do get a little nervous about soapy water getting syphoned back into the boiler though, which can happen on certain machinery.

It really works, how cool. I also worry a little about getting soapy water in the boiler but I think if you are very careful and purge every time it should be okay, right?

i totally did this today- it was a great practice tool, and my drinks turned out alot better tonight. i really liked not having to go through tons of milk, instead it only took a few times when i used milk to get my art just right.

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…
Agreed, it is best as a subtle hint to complement another flavor. I like pairing it with a nut flavor, caramel, or vanilla... but only in levels that do not totally overwhelm the coffee. If you have a softer apple flavor available, it is a nice comp…
Totally agreed. KvdW + LM all the way.
I understand the philosophy, and know that some shops do this, but this doesn't seem to me to be an appropriate use of the sanitizer.
Remember that Quats is a sanitizer, not a cleaner. Sanitizer is meant to sanitize solid surfaces that are already…
I was reading through some business plan literature and an example of a business that planned to buy smaller-capacity equipment, a lower-quality register system, etc with plans to purchase higher capacity and quality equipment in the future as the c…
Is there some consensus on a preferred method for cold tea prep? I would imagine the product is different with each method, but is there a majority and minority camp? Just curious.
