How exciting, I wish you all the best, I would definitely come by if I would be in the area. Many little details that the customers will enjoy. Have a good opening day 🎉
The shop looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see some videos of the shop in action with all the vendors up and running Couple of questions: - can you post the names and model numbers of the espresso and grinders. - can you do a video on how the economics work with so many independent vendors sharing the same space? Is there revenue sharing or simple space / rent sharing? I think you said you are handling all the front of house so are you subleasing to the other vendors? That ends up being four questions, sorry
Yes no problem and thank you for your comments 😊 Espresso = Victoria Arduino Eagle One (2 Group) Grinders = Victorian Arduino Mythos MyG85 Yes I'll have to do a vid on the business model I think that'd be interesting. I should say that the food hall is owned by someone else and we rent our space for the coffee shop etc. so I guess it's them subleasing to us 😁
Looks really good! I think I would go with 2 different grinders for "modern" and "classic" espresso. I189d / i200d from in the Mazzer Philos for example. Perhaps a conical grinder for thick and chunky shots for milk drinks and people who prefer espresso as served in Italy and a flat burr grinder for a clear espresso with a lot of different fruity notes. I haven't done market research so I'm not sure about how many people know about this 😄
First of all, congratulations!🎉 For my opinion, I would turn the back of your beautiful espresso machine toward your customers. Reason for that: 1. The espresso machine can hide how barista brew the drinks. In some case, this is a good thing. 2. The barista, then, will always face to the customers
Thank you so much! I would love to do what you suggest unfortunately we couldn't get the machine onto front bar due to power and drainage limitations there. The plus side is people get to see the wonderful equipment and they see an honest view of our production. A big focus for us is cleaning as we go so that if stays looking pristine even in the middle of a busy Saturday lunch rush, like an open kitchen I guess!
You share the exact same fear as me! We don't make more than 15% net profit on any item sold, every other penny goes towards the staff wages, premises and equipment etc. I will see if that's what people want or not I guess!
Congratulations! Love watching you grow 🌿
Thank you! 🙏 We are literally putting everything into it at this point and hoping/planning that it pays off 😬

Great work guys, looks great 👍
Just sorry I'm too far away to visit 😢
Thank you!! Never say never, we'll be here for ya 😬
@ForgeValleyRoasters very true 👍 I'm only in Scotland, so you never know 😉
You look like a proper coffee shop's chef 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉.... İnstead of coffee supplier 😊😊😊😊
Is that a good thing?! 😅
Love this but £3.35 for Espresso... very high pricing...

@@ForgeValleyRoasters Great insight, thanks!
