Sourcing Services

Explore equipment options without sourcing from scratch

CoffeeEQ helps overseas small coffee businesses research equipment from China and organize the details worth confirming before you commit. We are not a factory and we do not stock or resell equipment — we help you explore options and prepare a clear brief for suppliers.

Discuss Your Requirements
Who This Is For

Who our sourcing help supports

  • Small and growing coffee roasteries planning or expanding their setup.
  • Independent coffee businesses exploring their first equipment purchase.
  • Existing businesses looking for additional equipment or packaging options.

We do not claim that every business type has already been served — these describe the buyers we are set up to help.

How It Works

How the process works

This describes how we help you explore and organize options — not a guaranteed or automated service.

  1. 1

    Share your business and product requirements

    Tell us your product category, intended use, rough capacity, budget range, and target market. You do not need a fixed model yet.

  2. 2

    Clarify target specifications, budget and quantity

    We help you narrow the technical points that matter — capacity, voltage, configuration — so suppliers can respond to the same brief.

  3. 3

    Explore relevant product and supplier options

    We help you explore equipment categories and candidate options that fit your stage, budget, and business type.

  4. 4

    Review available specifications and quotes

    We lay out specifications, options, and supplier quotation conditions side by side so you can compare before committing.

  5. 5

    Confirm commercial details directly before ordering

    Final specifications, MOQ, lead time, voltage, certification, and warranty are confirmed with the supplier before you place an order.

Before You Start

What to prepare

You can submit a request with as little or as much as you know. Helpful inputs include:

  • Product category or intended use
  • Required capacity or key specifications, if known
  • Estimated quantity
  • Target market and electrical requirements, where relevant
  • Budget range, if available
  • Other requirements or questions

Not sure about specifications yet? That is fine — tell us the category and intended use and we will help you work through the rest.

Confirm With Suppliers

What needs to be confirmed

These points depend on the specific product and supplier, and are confirmed during the process — not assumed up front:

  • Final specifications
  • MOQ and quotation
  • Lead time
  • Voltage, plug type and applicable compliance documents
  • Warranty and spare parts
  • Shipping arrangements and total landed cost

We do not present these as services CoffeeEQ guarantees or uniformly provides.

FAQ

Sourcing questions

Do I need to know the exact model before contacting you?

No. Tell us your product category, intended use, and rough capacity, and we can help you explore suitable options. Many buyers start without a fixed model in mind.

Can I request options for different budgets?

Yes. Share your budget range and we can help you compare options at different price points so you can see what fits.

Can specifications, MOQ and lead time be confirmed before ordering?

Yes. These are confirmed with the supplier for your specific product, configuration, and destination before you place an order — they are not assumed up front.

Do you guarantee supplier certifications or product quality?

No. Certification is confirmed with the supplier for your target market rather than assumed, and we do not guarantee product quality. Independent verification, where needed, is arranged separately.
