Three to four hours on site with your machine and your staff. I clean and check the machine, look at the grinder including burr wear, set a dose and yield recipe with a scale and a timer, and taste through it until the shot is actually good on your water and your beans. Then I write the recipe on a card that stays next to the machine and I train whoever is working that shift to hit it and to notice when it drifts. Restaurants are the most common call. You have a good kitchen, a good wine list, and an espresso that makes people order tea instead. It is almost always fixable in an afternoon and it is almost always the grinder. Follow-up visit at four weeks is included in the hourly if you want it, because a recipe set once and never checked goes stale in about a month. Ninety-five an hour, three hour minimum, Portland metro and out to about sixty kilometres. I bring scale, tamper, distribution tool and cleaning kit. If your equipment is genuinely the problem I will tell you so and charge you for the visit only.
