My name is Michael Daigle, and I am located in Portland, Oregon in the USA.
I work for a coffee company, and we are looking for a source for a machine similar to the one shown and described below:
DeLonghi Magnifica
= For ultra-fresh taste, this espresso machine brews 1 or 2 cups of coffee or espresso immediately after the Burr grinder crushes the beans to your preferred fineness
= Adjustable coffee spouts brew directly into your cups, and the patented frother mixes steam and milk for creamy cappuccinos and lattes
= Features 15-bar pressure, a cup warmer, auto shutoff after 3 hrs. And a decalcification system for clean operation
= 60-oz. Tank comes out for easy cleaning
= 14Hx15Wx11D"
The machine described above is very expensive; However, my company is looking for an inexpensive alternative to a machine of this type. Our machine would not have to look like this (although a stainless steel finish would be nice). The most essential feature for us is that the machine would hold whole coffee beans that the machine would grind just before brewing.
If your company has a coffee maker like this, or would be able to build these for us, we would be very interested in talking with you about a large quantity of these coffee makers, which we would anticipate reordering on a regular basis.
