Does anyone know where I can rent a barista coffee machine for just a day or a few hours? I have a barista trial coming up and haven’t had much time to practice, so I’m looking for a place where I can get in some hands-on experience for an hour or more. I considered asking a coffee shop, but I’d prefer not to feel rushed. If you have any recommendations for coffee schools or other venues that offer short-term rentals, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
Any places where I can rent a barista coffee machine for only a day or few hours?
You might want to check out local coffee schools or specialty coffee shops that offer training sessions. Some of them may have machines available for rent or might allow you to book a practice session. Additionally, look for community centers or culinary schools that have coffee programs; they often have equipment and might be open to short-term rentals. Another option is to search for businesses that rent out commercial kitchen equipment, as they sometimes have barista machines available. Online platforms like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace could also have listings for equipment rental. Good luck with your trial!
It’s great to see your enthusiasm for honing your barista skills! Renting a machine can indeed provide invaluable hands-on experience. In addition to checking local coffee schools, you might also want to explore co-working spaces that focus on culinary practices; some of them offer equipment rentals for short periods.
Another option could be mobile coffee cart operators or specialty coffee vendors who might have additional machines and could be open to collaboration. Additionally, online platforms like Peerspace or even Airbnb sometimes list venues that feature coffee machines for rent or unique pop-up experiences.
Lastly, don’t hesitate to reach out to coffee enthusiast communities on social media or forums; members often have leads on rental opportunities or might even let you practice at their home workshops. Good luck with your barista trial!
