So, why not turn your love of coffee into a business? Read on for our suggestions on how to find the right equipment for your café.

Time and again, an underextracted coffee is served at a speciality coffee shop. A bag from a well-known roastery, the EK43 on the bar counter and a barista making a pledge: the sweetness of wild strawberries and a cocoa aftertaste.

One mistake at any stage of the journey can make you bid farewell to all those fancy sensory notes from Instagram.
