Illy again is good but has done some fantastic marketing to justify a too high a price- up to 100% above other brands. Decaf is important BUT a very small part of the market. Expect to sell 1/100 cups of it! Gaggia machines are good but remember a compact has a small boiler ~ I think about 4 litres so do not expect to take much boiling water out for tea etc. I presume you are looking to buy new so if you maintain [ look carefully at who is supplying] then the machine will give you a good life - should be 15+ years. If you need to make tea, hot chocolate then its worth looking at a machine with a bigger boiler - industry standard on a two group is 13litres. Have a look at our refurbished machines as an alternative, they can save you some money and come with a 12 month warranty. I like your idea of the wood finish and benches but cant really point you in the correct direction as to sourcing! If you need any further pointers do ask. Regards Andrew Kas,

Looking for all the equipment and even furniture for the premises. Will ideally go for benches and perhaps that recliamed wood look. Have been given a quote for a g2 compact gaggia for £2k. Was initially going to use organic coffee as the main coffee but unsure if the quality is high enough, so will instead use illy and have organic and decaff as options too. Any ideas or tips?
