Some people seem to think that the only important thing about coffee is the caffeine. They like weak coffee just fine, thank you. Actually, the way I phrased that sentence may be the crux of the bone of contention that I’m trying to form here. I have my idea of what coffee is meant to be, my own idea of the absolute best way to make coffee. But it tends to be a snobbish opinion based on extensive reading about the subject. Other people don't mind drinking coffee that I find repellent. Coffee from vending machines, coffee made from soluble coffee ‘crystals’, McDonald's coffee, and (dare I even mention this one in polite company?) re-heated coffee. Any of these options just makes me gag. What do you think? Am I just a little foolish in my obsession with coffee? Should I just pipe down and let people obtain their caffeine kick any way they can? Isn't that what's important? Or are you, too, of the opinion that if you're drinking sub-standard coffee you might as well be drinking gray water halfway through the water-treatment plant? Let me know!

There are actually quite a few commercial automatic machines that will produce a premium coffee (and frothed milk)but you need to look for the right ones. Some examples are Cafina and Jura.
Some important things to note are:
1. The cleanliness and general houskeeping of the "establishment" If they can't keep their floors, counters etcc... clean they probably don't care much about the coffee.
2. Machines sold through different distributors are set up differently. This is true for all types of machines from domestic right through to commercials. At
There are so many factors that contribute to "good" coffee that it is hard to list them all! If you were looking at this like it was a pine tree, then the top of the tree would be the consumer and his selected method of drinking his/her coffee- ie: a home spresso machine, a french press, a drip machine...etc. The selection of the type of machine here is important. Not all methods of brewing coffee were made equal! These days the trend for consumption at home (at least in the US) is towards home espresso units. These, along with a good burr grinder, will produce a good cup as long as the machine is decent. Camelina is right...there are now plenty of good home/small cfe machines available.
Further down the pine tree are factors that can effect the cup and are beyond the control of the drinker- the quality of the green bean, how the green bean has been warehoused prior to shipping, how the bean has been warehoused at destinataion, the roaster- the profile that he/she selects for rosting a type of bean, when the bean was roasted, how was it packaged, how was it handled post roast.... the water quality when brewed....phew...could go on and on, but you get my drift!
Basically a good cup of coffee comes down, believe it or not, to education. If you are buying from a specialty roster vs buying from a supermarket, the roaster or his/her staff should be able to educate you on the different characteristics of the beans. Also they should be able to dvise the best way to brew a cup.
