When it comes to ordering parts and supplies for your new coffee shop, you will need to find a first class vendor of goods that will happily sell you everything from diner coffee mugs to espresso makers at a reasonable price.

While it may be true that nothing was ever gained by skimping on quality just to save a few measly dollars, it is also equally true that the quality of goods you end up with certainly won’t improve just because you paid extra money for them. It’s obvious that a happy medium needs to be found if you’re going to truly get the best possible deal for the least possible expenditure of funds.

Why Bother With Dollar Shops When You Can Order Straight From The Internet?

Perhaps one of the most obvious lessons that people in the 21st century have learned when it comes to shopping for deals is that the Internet has significantly more of them than any brick and mortar store.

After all, the world wide web does contain a vast and comprehensive resource of information, as well as physical goods for sale, so it stands to reason that a few minutes of steady, focused surfing will turn up all of the goods that you need.

Shopping On The Internet Can Mean The Difference Between Boom And Bust

If you are the proud owner of your very own new coffee shop, you should already be aware that doing the majority of your shopping on the world wide web can quite literally make the difference between boom or bust for your business.

While some old fashioned shop owners may still cling to the idea of doing business with a few local stores, you should be aware that using the Internet for your coffee shop supply needs is simply a better way to go. Why complicate things? It’s faster and so much easier to do business with a major retailer of shop supplies by simply clicking your mouse a few times.

It’s never been easier or more efficient to conduct all of your major transactions using the Internet. So, if you’re ready to get serious about ordering all of the major parts and supplies that you will need for your new coffee shop, now is the time to get on the web and start clicking away.

Coffee as a beverage had been around for thousands of years before it reached the New World. Had the British not caused tea costs to skyrocket in the 18th century, coffee may not have such a prominent place at breakfast tables around the world or made its way to cultivation in the warm climates of South America. Brazil emerged as the world’s leader in coffee bean production in the mid-1900s. Consumers claim taste is the most important factor when choosing their coffee whether in retail markets or dining establishments.

By Any Other Name

From its humble beginnings, so various legends go, as an accidentally roasted berry boiled in water, coffee has become the world’s most widely consumed beverage. Furthermore, asking for coffee has evolved into quite a science. Pseudonyms for coffee began as far back as its first exports from the port city of Mocha. Likewise, the island of Java lent its name to a synonym for coffee. The typical phrase, “cup of joe” in American slang may well be a derivation of the slang term, jamoke, which is a combination Java and Mocha. At one time, these two locations were considered as best coffee producers in the world.

Coffee Evolution

Espresso is a popular way Europeans drink their coffee. To brew it, high pressured water is forced through finely ground coffee that has been tightly packed into a very fine sieve. Special tools called espresso tampers are used to compact the coffee so no water “runs” too quickly through the grounds. Espresso is ordered by the standard 1-once shot, or as a variation of the shot. A ristretto, or short shot, is the first 3/4-ounce of an espresso, A lungo, or long shot, is a shot and a half, and a double shot is, of course, 2 ounces. It wasn’t long before sugar and dairy products were introduced into the inky black elixir. Espresso is the starter for many types of sophisticated coffee drinks, which have morphed into an ordering art:

• Latte- a shot of espresso mixed with a cup of steamed milk, and then topped with foamed milk.
• Machiatto- a shot of espresso topped with a layer of foamed milk.
• Cappuccino- a shot of espresso topped with steamed milk.

  Across the globe, we do indeed enjoy our coffee in all its blends and creations.
