Understanding C-Stores
C-stores are a great business model for entrepreneurs because it offers many benefits. C-stores are often located in highly populated areas with much foot traffic, such as shopping malls and universities. Because of this, it's easy for customers to stop by on their way to work or school, making them an ideal location for coffee shops that serve espresso drinks and other items like pastries or sandwiches. It can also bring in additional sales; come in for coffee, leave with your favorite snack or any other impulse items. These are things your local coffee house cannot provide making your C-store the more convenient, go-to stop.

What Kinds of Espresso Machines Do C-Stores Need?
There are many different types of espresso machines, each offering different features that may or may not be necessary for your business. For example, a commercial-grade machine will be more expensive than a consumer-grade one, but offers features you would not need in a non-commercial setting, e.g. push of the button drink generation, wifi, reports, large volume capability. It is important that you find the right balance between price and quality when choosing your espresso machine.
Coffee drinkers who want a more traditional experience can choose between manual machines or semi-automatic ones, which require some human input. Manual machines require more skill on behalf of the barista. Traditional, automatic machines are easier for people with little experience as the extractions are programmed to stop when reaching the pre-programmed dosage. options for beginners! On the other hand, semi-automatics allow better control for our coffee aficionados, stopping the drink at precisely the perfect time. Most of our traditional machines can be purchased with auto frothing functions.
