Great video and channel guys, I am an Aussie that currently lives in the US. I owned a coffee business in Miami, USA and I always love checking out what's going on with the coffee scene back home. I started off with a coffee cart and ended up with a few locations. In regards to grinders for espresso, I went a little off the beaten path, choosing the Ceado E37T's. Overall I was very happy with them, except the grind adjustment was a little clunky.
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters the scene is much better now than when I first arrived 20 years ago, that’s for sure. I was in an interesting market, in that I had a lot of Latin influence which included drinks like Cortado’s and Cortaditos. Since I was more on the specialty side of coffee, I tried to stay away from the Cuban Colada (basically a very dark roast with a ton of sugar). One thing that you guys might find interesting was that I roasted my own coffee using an electric Bellwether roaster, was the size of a fridge and very user friendly.
The challenge we and many cafes face is that the E80 GBW is $6100+GST which is almost double the price of the Anfim SP2. If we raise the price of equipment, we must raise coffee prices. Do you think customers understand this?
Came across you channel yesterday and viewed quite a few of your older videos, very interesting and informative. We travel Australia in our motorhome and I am always looking for great coffee... I only have one rule:- stay away from Bakeries unless you want consistently bad coffee! The places I seek out are what I call "Hole in the Wall Coffee Shops", they seem to be common in country towns and usually have pretty good coffee, they may offer a few simple eats and perhaps have a few tables on the footpath, no table service of course.

You need a second hand Mazzer Kony and Major .1000 euros. A second hand three group nachine Say KvdW Mirage.1500-2000 euros. Descaler 300 euros Few tampers and pitchers 200 euros. Cups etc 1000 euros. So for equipment 4500 euros and you' re in business.
It for sure is but it takes up valuable space, you would have to either have if behind you or way off to the side and both are slower with more cons the pros.
@@TheBeanMan00 its not slower to turn around and grab a bottle than it is to bend down and reach to the back of the fridge and grab one. you can also simply place it on your bar, and advertise the milks you have or any other products like juices or RTD drinks
Try making hundreds of espresso shots a day with it, 8-10 hours a day, 7 days a week. There’s a reason why industrial kitchen equipment is so expensive compared to the stuff we use at home.

How is the coffee scene in America compared to Australia? Ceado grinders aren’t someone you see much of in Aus.
Thanks for watching

E80 gbw doses in 3 seconds and weighs the shot automatically . On a busy bar is a must have!!❤
👏🏼
🫶🏻
Mahlkonig E80S probably the next best grinder

Sanremo SR 83 OD Pro or a Sanremo X-One!
Question, when you started, did you get a loan from the bank? I want to start a coffee shop too but I don’t know where to begin
Don’t even contemplate, you will go broke!
Business loans are common and like any finance, it just needs to be planned well and a good investment.
We started as a very small self funded family run cafe before 2010
Much like a customer needs a loan from the bank to pay for a coffee these days
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters thank you! I wish I could visit your cafe and learn first hand,

Thanks for watching David, we’re always happy to help travellers find great coffee spots.
What about the dishwasher?
I have heard good words for the Ceado E37z Barista RS. But, since I have not tested it myself, I can’t recommend. I just mention it
Another vote for Mahlkonig E80 GBW
👍🏻
Incredible price for this scale
Yeah i agree and quite surprise actually. And we are talking about quality ones here.
For the acaia scales you mean?
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters I understood as the amount of this set you have. (The equipment in total)
You need a second hand Mazzer Kony and Major .1000 euros.
A second hand three group nachine Say KvdW Mirage.1500-2000 euros.
Descaler 300 euros
Few tampers and pitchers 200 euros.
Cups etc 1000 euros.
So for equipment 4500 euros and you' re in business.
You didn’t talk about the milk dispenser i see in some of your videos
That’s because it’s no longer in our bar 😊
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Why did you get rid of them?
@@padre-pipes I think they upgraded to the i-milk jug rinser
@@micah9261 I don't think so, the dispenser is completely unrelated to the rinser
I think an upright fridge is more easier on the back and certainly more ergonomic
It for sure is but it takes up valuable space, you would have to either have if behind you or way off to the side and both are slower with more cons the pros.
@@TheBeanMan00 yet they promote a automatic tamper to reduce RSI but don’t look at other issues like ergonomic of an an under bench fridge
@@TheBeanMan00 its not slower to turn around and grab a bottle than it is to bend down and reach to the back of the fridge and grab one. you can also simply place it on your bar, and advertise the milks you have or any other products like juices or RTD drinks
Good suggestion, we do prefer underbench, we just bend our knees 😂
You forgot to mention the costs for all those mugs
You can look them up. They’re ACME cups
🤫😅
mahlkonig e80s best grinder 4ever
Thanks for the suggestion, we’re already leaning that way 👍🏻
All you coffee experts who never had a shop 😂 Btw. I owned one
Top job 👍🏻
My coffee machine from aldi is fine...
That's why your customers run away because your cappuccino takes to long😂
Bwahahahahahaha
not everyone wants to ruin their day with shit german products
@@2_pelicans Bro, this Aldi machine is made in China. German brands for good espresso machines are ECM and Profitec
