I am looking to open a coffee shop in East Texas. I have already started my research, but I need information on equipment and supplies. I have started my business plan and have many figures already. I just have little/no information on equipment/supplies. If you can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You.

You can get great new equipment at bigtray.com for the u/c fridge, ice maker, etc.....

I purchase a Cimbali espresso machine and I love it. Bought it from a local guy who also works on it if needed. Try Visionsespresso.com for the Mazzer espresso doser/grinder. I keep an eye out on ebay for equipment as well.

Do you mind giving u a copy of your revised business plan? The reason for this is to see what your business has to offer, I can offer my supplies at a bargain price at wholesale. I sell furniture, espresso/coffee machines and refridgerated display cases.

Thanks alot, and good luck from all of us here at Epsco.
