Expertise

Would answer all questions regarding coffee makers. How to choose gourmet and best coffee makers. Also welcome are questions on single serve coffee makers, espresso machines, roasters, grinders and even vending machines. Anyone interested in starting espresso kiosks or coffee shops can post me a question too.

Working for one of the largest Roaster in the world and managing multiple key accounts, i.e. Airline buying houses has given me opportunities to study and review numerous coffee machines, coffee business. And I believe this would be invaluable in answering some of the questions here.
