Specialty Coffee Equipment

The most standard coffee machines are the drip brewers, sometimes simply called coffee brewers. A drip coffee brewer is one of the simplest forms of brewing coffee and should be present in nearly any environment serving coffee. With a high-quality coffee maker you will be able to brew excellent coffee consistently. An automatic drip coffee machine brews a sweeter, more complex, better balanced coffee when compared to percolators, which are commonly found in office spaces, break rooms, and hospitals. With just a paper filter and coffee that had gone through a grinder, a drip coffee brewer beats a percolator on flavor, ease of use, and maintenance. Machines for drip coffee may be a higher price point, but have quickly become a standard piece of equipment for coffee brewing.

Many of the most popular coffee drinks are made with espresso, making an espresso machine one of the most important pieces of specialty coffee equipment for a coffee shop and many other businesses selling high volume coffee. There is no substitute for an espresso machine. Espresso machines are a larger investment than other coffee equipment and choosing the right espresso machine for your coffee shop is very important. We help many businesses narrow down what style of espresso machine they should purchase based on what style of coffee they’ll be making, their expected volume of coffee they’ll be going through each day, and other factors we will consider like budget range. We are always happy to help our customers choose the right espresso equipment for the job!

Automated pour over machines have become increasingly more popular over the last 5 years. Not only have they become more advanced, but they have become more accessible to a wider base of clients. With a wider variety of automated pour over machines available there are many different price points and styles of equipment to choose from. These automated machines are delicate, but when baristas or operators use them properly they can brew an excellent cup of coffee. Automated coffee brewers can narrow the margin or error because they can easily repeat the same output and timing consistently. Once the pour over machine is programmed you simply need to change your grind setting on the coffee to make changes on how the coffee is brewing to get better extraction.

Coffee grinders are arguably one of the most important tools for brewing coffee. With a high-quality coffee burr grinder each time you grind your coffee you will have a consistent grind, and the entire grind will be a uniform size. While cheaper grinders chop the coffee beans up with blades, a burr grinder grinds the coffee between two burrs and only lets the ground coffee pass through when it has been ground down to a certain size. The particle size distribution of coffee has a significant impact on the flavor of the final drink. If not ground at an appropriate size a coffee can taste too bitter or sour. If ground correctly you will have optimal extraction and the coffee will taste dynamic and balanced. Finding the right grinder for your needs is crucial if you want to consistently brew great coffee. We offer a wide range of coffee grinders and espresso grinders to ensure our customers get a grinder that works for their needs.
