Morning Michelle, welcome to the coffee forum. Have to admit ignorance of the BFC Lira, not a name that come up frequently, Google took care of my knowledge gap, looks like they certainly make some impressive machines, Brett has asked the first questions that came to my mind re number of groups and grinder you are using with it. A photo of the machine would be of interest. What type of espresso drinks do you make? Sound like you and your husband have a pretty full schedule, good luck with the cafe, hope it all goes well. Hope to see you here frequently, keep us up to date with your coffee journey. :thumb:
