Hello Everybody,

Until recently i beleive it was very difficult to manage and maintain a coffee shop. I was under the impression that there was a lot of equipment required in doing so and was very costly.

However i recently noticed that coffee shops really do not require a lot of equipment to make the drinks they offer.

Infact i have seen coffee shops operate with just 2 machines and they can manage to come up with a decent line of products ranging from hot coffess to ice teas, to slush, to smoothies.

Now i am actually considering putting up a coffee house and becoming a part of this industry.

What i need help with is Knowledge. Id like to know what kind of equipments are used, how much they cost and what sort of maintenance do they require.

Anyone here run a coffee house with a limted range of drinks and snacks??

any ideas would be appreciated.

If you have any website links i could go thru or so pls share them with me.

Looking forward to ALL your thoughts and opinions. If you think the idea is risky or has its cons, pls share them with me as i need a realistic picture. not invest a handsome chunk and come out a bankrupt entrepreneur.

Thanks a lot for taking time to read this, i really do appreciate it
