Thanks for listening and giving us a good review, it goes a long way <3In part two of our series on our most common questions from coffee shop founders, we discuss a topic that overwhelms lots of folks: EQUIPMENT. Whether you already know all about the different brands OR you're coming in blind, this episode will likely help you from deciding which brand or size machine, to potential blindspots that you might not be expecting.  Thanks for listening!No affiliate links in this one! Why? We recommend buying the bigger equipment for your cafe straight from your wholesale provider (i.e. US) or through your local tech. You'll likely get a service agreement, and often you'll see big discounts.Buy Valor Coffee: https://valor.coffeeFollow Valor: http://instagram.com/valor.coffee____Follow Ross: https://instagram.com/rosswaltersFollow Riley:  https://instagram.com/rileywestbrookFollow Ethan's Parody Account:  https://instagram.com/ethanrivers777***If you buy something through our external/third-party links, we may get a small share of the sale.
