Adding espresso to a bakery
We have a wholesale client that opened a coffee bar in their store and they figured it would be easier to train staff on a Super Automatic machine instead of a traditional espresso machine. That way staff turnover is less of an issue too. They went with an Eversys Cameo. They are happy with it and s

Seeking a hard-to-break espresso machine under $3000
Nuova Simonelli Oscar II. Around $1500 (make sure it includes the gold warranty that covers Commercial usage - many places like webstaurantstore include it) and it's built like a tank with not much that can go wrong with it. You'll still need to invest in a good espresso grinder which is another $80

What are you paying for with a more expensive machine? [$2500]
Mainly you get consistenty, build quality and better steaming performance. Potentially you get flow/pressure control or profiling. Best price-to-performance dual boiler is probably Lelit Elizabeth, also heats up fairly quickly for Dual Boiler machine. GCP or Siliva are great if you are looking into

Be real with me. Opening an Espresso bar in a Barber Shop. [$1500-$2000]
To me, it seems like you'll be making relatively few drinks, and since you're trying to keep a budget, I think you could manage well by getting something that is robust enough for that small number of drinks and fast enough to keep up with a good workflow. If you are looking at the Diletta Mio (made

Looking for an Espresso Kit with Grinder and Gadgets (Amazon UK etc)? [700€] budget
All the usual advice: kit is a bad idea get a good grinder, more important than machine at first, for example eureka mignon specialita around €400-500 at that price range you're most likely going to get a new single boiler machine or maybe you can find a good deal on a used heat exchanger which will

I have $2000 to spend on a machine for a small local coffee cart business, which machine would you buy? [$2000]
Good luck with your Breville Barista Express, but coming from someone who also runs a coffee cart, I don't think that machine is going to cut it. I do, however, think that $2000 (American dollars) is actually a decent budget for what you are after. Contrary to other comments, you don't need a 4-6k m
