Espresso Equipment Experts: Professional Grinder Selection Workflow

What We're Researching

We're running a paid study on the evaluation and selection process for professional espresso equipment. High-end specialty cafes require precise machinery to maintain extraction quality and workflow efficiency. This research aims to document the detailed methodologies industry experts use when outfitting a new commercial coffee program.

How It Works

You will deliver a comprehensive, 4,000-word written guide detailing your methodology for evaluating commercial espresso gear. Alongside the written guide, you will record a 30-45 minute narrated screen-share session. During this recording, you will walk through a live grinder selection workflow, comparing equipment specifications and explaining your reasoning. This is a remote, asynchronous task that you can complete on your own schedule.

Who This Is For

We welcome professional baristas, specialty cafe owners, coffee consultants, and commercial espresso machine technicians. You must have extensive hands-on experience sourcing, evaluating, and operating high-end coffee equipment. Candidates who have successfully outfitted commercial coffee spaces are highly preferred.
