Coffee Information | what equipment are used in top cafes abroad?

Abstract: equipment has a great influence on coffee. What do foreign cafes use?

With the promotion, popularization and development of Specialty coffee in the United States and other markets around the world, the creative market in the United States has also spawned some new coffee equipment. These include pressure swing extraction Espresso coffee machines (La Marzocco, Synesso and Slayer), negative pressure extraction coffee / tea machines (Bkon), semi-automatic siphon coffee / tea machines (Steam punk), drip filters that meet the gold cup criteria (many brands), Allo pressure, fully automatic hand machines (like traditional needle printers), etc. Compared with traditional machines, these new devices are remarkable, attracting a lot of new users, and some of them are competing to enter the Chinese market. After all, China is rich in almost the largest number of tuhao on the earth. But there is another device that doesn't seem to have shown up yet, of course, maybe I haven't seen it.

So what is the device that hasn't shown up in the Chinese market or has already appeared, but I haven't seen it? It is Modbar. In fact, there may not be many breakthroughs in the technology of this equipment, but its design concept is very innovative, and the effect of the equipment is of course very eye-catching. Its biggest feature is to reassemble the original integrated equipment and install the main equipment under the bar, while only the most direct coffee operation and production parts are left on the table, which is extremely exaggerated, exquisite and eye-catching. Some of the newly opened cafes in the United States, or some of the well-known third Wave cafes, are competing to use the device.

What is the price of this equipment? You don't have to think about it, you know it's expensive, maybe it's super expensive, but no matter how expensive it is, it will enter the Chinese market sooner or later.
