Opening or expanding a coffee shop is a big investment. From espresso machines and grinders to brewers and water systems, equipment costs can add up quickly.
Financing lets you spread that investment over time while keeping more cash available for your business.

Collapsible content
What equipment manufacturers can I finance?
We primarily offer commercial equipment from manufacturers including La Marzocco, Eversys, Mazzer, Ceado, Mahlkönig and Fetco, with additional equipment available depending on your needs.
Do you offer water filtration?
We can help you determine what type of water filtration system makes sense for your equipment and your water, and recommend a system based on your operation’s needs. We don’t currently install water filtration systems, but we’re working toward offering installation services in 2027.
Can I finance a commercial espresso machine?
Yes. Financing may be available for commercial espresso machines and other coffee equipment, subject to the financing provider's approval and requirements.
Can I finance an entire coffee equipment package?
In many cases, yes. Rather than financing an espresso machine separately from your grinders and other equipment, we can quote the equipment you need as a package and explore financing options for the total purchase.
Do you offer financing for new coffee shops?
Yes. We work with both new and established coffee businesses. Financing approval and terms depend on the financing provider and your individual application.
Can I use my own bank or lender?
Absolutely. If you already have a relationship with a commercial bank or equipment lender, we're happy to work with them.
Do I have to finance my entire purchase?
Not necessarily. Depending on the financing arrangement, you may be able to make a down payment and finance the remaining balance.
Do you offer equipment not on your website?
Yes. While our website highlights the equipment we most commonly offer, we can source additional commercial equipment based on your shop’s needs. Our primary manufacturers include La Marzocco, Eversys, Mazzer, Ceado, Mahlkönig, and Fetco.
We also offer smaller bar equipment like PUQ Press and pitcher rinsers. If you’re outfitting a new shop or upgrading your bar, we can also provide a recommended equipment and barware list to help make sure you have everything you need to get up and running.
How do I get started?
Start by talking to us. Tell us what you're opening, what equipment you're considering and what you're trying to accomplish. We'll help you build a quote and walk you through the next steps.
