Here on the (sometimes) sunny west coast, some things never change. Although the weather can veer wildly from blazing heat waves to days on end of torrential downpour, the one constant in the lives of many west coast dwellers is coffee. And while coffee consumption has become a global obsession, nowhere is it more in evidence than Vancouver. Maybe the dynamic cosmopolitan energy has something to do with it, or the robust diversity of the city’s population, or the wide range of landscapes that simply demand outdoor activity. No matter what elements contribute to the thriving west coast coffee culture, the fact remains that people in Vancouver love their coffee. The city, in fact, has undergone something of a “coffee awakening”. From the specialty cafes and restaurants found on every corner, to the dedicated brewing spaces found in homes throughout the lower mainland, there are caffeinated beverages being brewed and consumed 24-7. Between rotating coffee menus, ethical and fair-trade ingredients, local sourcing, small-batch roasting and finding the sweet spot, high-quality filters and caramelization of the bean’s natural sugars – who knew there was so much involved in brewing a simple cup of coffee? Coffee culture has effectively been elevated to an art form.
The logical next question would be – where are these businesses and amateur baristas finding the espresso coffee machines that produce those in-demand beverages, and who are the suppliers? Considering that acquiring one of these shiny, new, state-of-the-art brewing appliances can represent a significant investment, it’s important to recognize the dos and don'ts of taking on this important process.
What should you be looking for – and where – if you’re about to take the plunge? Vancouver is home to an assortment of espresso coffee machine suppliers. Which is the right one for you?
For starters, it makes sense to source out an espresso coffee machine supplier that has deep roots and an extensive background in the coffee appliance industry. While there are many newer outlets throughout the city, there are only a handful of truly established suppliers. Located in Burnaby, Quality Coffee Systems is one such outlet. Established in 1998 as a father-son partnership, we deal in high-quality Swiss, French and German brands that deliver advanced features, European technology, and a range of appealing aesthetics.
