new juice bar
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

I have a coffee house in Cocoa Beach and I want to add a juice bar. I need advice on from someone who is in the business to help pick out a juicer and other stuff I would need. Any info would help.

Thanks,
Bob

There's a guy on the beach north of miami something like Jason who has an outdoors juice bar. He would be a good contact.

I sell comercial juicers as home ones too.

How much are commercial juicers, elnat, - I've been told they're about 10times the cost of a home-use one, but.......... a girl can dream.....

I'd say stay away from the Commercial Juicers. I have used two....the Nutrifaster N450 and the Ruby 2000. They're big and awkward to clean......WY

start with something household size and a see how much of a demand you get.

for versatilty purpose i would recommend greenstar which does wheatgrass, leafy greens, carrots, apples and hers which can impart interesting flavors to your crative combinations. you will be limited with the centrifugal to carrotsw apples and beets mostly and the single gear machines are weak and struggle with carrots. the k&k and norwalk are labor intensive not to mention expensive.

you may need more than one machine.

i've seen the type of shops you describe just with simple breville centrifugal ones. for most of the clientel that would be in a coffee shop they probably work fine

the best model i've seen is using a Norwalk press and juicing into glass (or metal?) containers then can be reedeemed on deposit. These last 1-2 days and all the jucing can be done off site.
