Why Get Your Equipment through Dilworth Coffee?
Why purchase your equipment with the help of Dilworth instead of other online platforms? Not only can Dilworth price match any of the major online retailers, but we can also provide the small business owner (you) a holistic approach to buying equipment for your coffee shop, café, or coffee business.
What Does Holistic Mean?
Our team of coffee experts will walk you through your business goals and vision, investigate and select the right equipment to achieve your goals, and assist you in placing it in the correct location in your coffee space with accurate specifications.
We've done it all in our 30 years of business. These are many questions we know the answer to that some business owners may not have considered.
- What kind of coffee shop espresso machine is right for my volume?
- How many group heads will I need?
- What if I have a drive-thru at my location?
- Do I need one brewer or two?
- Should I serve decaf espresso?
- What about a used machine?
- How many watts of power does my machine need?
- Should I serve pour-overs?
- Do I need a Health Department License or an Agriculture License?
- How much fridge space do I need?
- What kind of warranty do I have?
All these questions and more need to be considered before purchasing coffee shop equipment. Unlike the online retailer, we will walk through this process with you. Ready to chat about equipment for your shop?

Coffee Shop Equipment Maintenance
Espresso and coffee equipment, like any other machine, undergo wear and tear due to heavy usage, movement of parts, heat, steam, and other factors. Therefore, routine maintenance and major repairs are necessary over time.
New equipment usually comes with a basic limited warranty from the manufacturer, covering the parts but not the service tech labor or travel costs. However, some manufacturers offer extended warranties, which we can provide as an optional service at the time of purchase. We also have a network of coffee shop equipment service technicians and can help you find one in your area.
Regular maintenance is crucial for making consistently excellent drinks and minimizing unexpected downtime. We can help you create a periodic cleaning and maintenance schedule, including per drink, daily, weekly, monthly, and less frequent maintenance.
When it comes to mobile cafes, unique equipment such as water compressors are necessary for mobile coffee shops to maintain the warranty on many espresso machines. Most espresso machines also need to be held at a controlled temperature, so the water inside does not get too cold. We can help you assess any needs you may have for a mobile coffee shop.
If your coffee shop or café has a drive-thru, you have to treat that as its own operation. Assigned staff and product, different procedures, and different coffee shop equipment. Let us assess your drive-thru coffee shop and help you decide what espresso equipment you need to be a success.
