  • Coffee related question.

    My mum has just started running a pub in a Norfolk village, which currently just serves real ale and crisps. She is opening the kitchen and wants to serve tea and coffee. It's on national cycle route 1 so a fair few cyclists passing but it ain't exactly London, think more CTC than Rapha gentlemen's race. Otherwise it's combination of locals and moderately discerning tourists.

    Anyway, she doesn't have a coffee maker apart from an aeropress that I bought her as a present. She has looked at the push button catering machines but the coffee is awful so has discounted those. She is reluctant to spend big money on a catering quality machine, and anyway there isn't much room.

    So what kind of coffee should she serve, and how should it be made? The pub is fairly small and it would be just 2-3 staff to cover food prep, bar and drinks.

    The Nespresso machines are used widely in restaurants, and reportedly in a few Michelin star ones. They aren't as good as a commercial set up with well trained staff, but they'll be easily more consistent than what you find on the high street and for a tiny fraction of the cost for the manual kit and training.
