All, this is my first time to this forum, so I appreciate your help and patience—
I've got a mobile business, that I'm looking to finally add espresso to.
In an ideal world I'd have a 220V double group machine with great burr grinders.
The reality is that I need to be flexible with my power needs, water, cleanup time, and storage.
My distributor and local roaster say Illy capsules make sense for such an operation, and my distributor deals in UNIC machines, which I have lots of experience and love. The question is:
Can I find a UNIC machine (single group is fine) that can be converted to use illy capsules, and also runs on 120V? I've found some 240V machines...
For water, I'll use a flo-jet pump with 5gallon R.O. water jugs direct plumbed into the machine.
Just trying to avoid the mess and space off grinders, knockboxes, etc etc. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
