GOURMET JAVA EXPRESS
John Sheid

Gourmet Java Express has a unique coffee service for your office, business or waiting room. We offer a fully automated coffee machine that grinds coffee beans for each cup and foams milk for latte or cappuccino. Our machine makes espresso, latte, cappuccino, mochaccino, flavored cappuccino, hot chocolate or café Americano--eight varieties all in one attractive unit.

Gourmet Java Express provides everything you need for coffee service. When you make your selection, the machine drops a cup and stirrer, adds sugar if requested, grinds and brews the coffee and foams milk. We provide Splenda and lids as well. Since the machine is self-contained, there's no need for water supply--there's a six-gallon reservoir in the base.

Our customers like the fact that there is no charge for our machines--you only pay for the coffee that you drink. The machines can be set up to accept coins and dollar bills or we can bill your office based on coffee dispensed. At a buck a cup, we beat the competition on both price and quality.

Check us out at www.gourmetjavaexpress.com or call John at 917-648-0042.
