quality and quantities of beans used in coffee shops

[charliepig]

Hi I am new to the forum and indeed to the coffee world. I have just started a business importing ready roasted, high quality arabica beans from Colombia to the UK and am looking to distribute them to retailers and or coffee shops. I wondered if anyone can tell me what sort of products are mostly used in independent coffee houses and the quantities? Eg: for an espresso machine what size bags, and how many would you go through on a daily basis?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also if anyone is interested in trying out my coffee feel free to inbox me.
