After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Regulating Superautomatic Machines
Hi all!
I am currently researching high-end Super Automatic machines available on the market for a new business venture.
I am swaying toward an ECM Veronica, but have also looked at the Jura and others for comparisson (Thanks for your advice FC! )
My biggest issue it seems, is the regualtion of the machine in an office environment. The organisations I am targetting are generally community based services and not-for-profit organisations, not your typical cashed-up corporates.
Many of these businesses will be happy to pay for the lease of the machine and supply of beans, but they do not want the machines to be a free-for-all when large community groups utilise their building for meetings etc. Similarly, my other prospective customers are social clubs withing govt. departments that do want outsiders using the machines/beans that they have paid for.
Yes, this sounds like an immature, trivial issue; rest assured that this is the #1 question I am asked when promoting my business!!!
I have seen Saeco and Jura's 'Smart Card' system, but this appears insanely expensive and surely there are other alternatives which exist to control the use of a machine???
Seeing most coffee enthusiasts like to research their favourite hobby, just wondering if anyone has come across products/ideas which I can integrate into a machine?
Regards,
James
