Essential Coffee Shop Stainless Steel Equipment

As the chill of winter approaches, coffee shops across the U.S. are preparing for the cold season ahead. There's nothing quite like savoring a warm, freshly brewed cup of coffee on a frosty day. But before you settle into the cozy routine of serving up steaming beverages, it might be time to assess your equipment to ensure you're ready for the influx of customers. If you're planning to open a coffee shop, there are certain essentials that shouldn't be missed. In this article, we'll explore five key categories of equipment every coffee shop should have, along with some product recommendations to guide your search. Let's dive right in. 1. **Floor Troughs – Handling the Liquids** Running a coffee shop means dealing with plenty of liquids—coffee, cappuccinos, teas, smoothies, and more. Spills and drips are inevitable, which is why floor troughs are indispensable. Installing these in your workspace can prevent slippery floors and keep your staff safe. IMC offers various stainless steel floor troughs based on your specific needs, including standard depths of 2” or 4” for smaller shops and deeper 6” options for busier locations. The ideal setup depends on your layout and available space. 2. **Worktables – Essential for Food Preparation** While coffee shops primarily serve drinks, many also offer food items like sandwiches, salads, and pastries. A dedicated prep area is crucial for these offerings. Worktables provide the perfect solution, offering flexibility with features like shelving, sink bowls, and undershelves. Consider a flat-top worktable with a backsplash to maximize efficiency. IMC provides customizable worktables to suit your culinary needs. 3. **Wall Shelving – Convenient Storage Solutions** Coffee shops require storage for ingredients and garnishes like sugar, honey, and cocoa powder. Wall shelves are a practical choice, allowing quick access to frequently used items while keeping them off the floor. IMC offers stainless steel wall shelves in solid, louvered, and tubular designs, ensuring easy organization and enhanced productivity. 4. **Hand Sinks – Promoting Hygiene** Hygiene is paramount in any food service establishment, and hand sinks are essential. Not only are they required by law in the U.S., but they also promote cleanliness and safety. IMC provides customizable stainless steel hand sinks with features like auto faucets and soap dispensers. For new coffee shop owners, here’s a great resource to understand hand sink requirements. 5. **Dishtables – Streamlining Dishwashing Operations** Managing dishes efficiently is critical in maintaining a smooth-running coffee shop. Dishtables come in two types: soiled and clean, each designed for specific stages of dishwashing. IMC offers customizable stainless steel dishtables tailored to complement your dishwashing system, helping optimize workflow in your kitchen. IMC recognizes that coffee shops are among the most popular destinations in the U.S., with a 4% growth in startups since 2021. Investing in durable, high-quality stainless steel equipment can significantly enhance your business.
