Italy's Best Gourmet Coffee
Claimed $1.15 profit per 8oz cup. Machines would average 1200 pours per month. Actual. 75 and 120z no turns

Miscellaneous

Bob Drake, Arthur Salamonia, Jack Arthur and Steven Chase are all misleading in their statements regarding the potential, profitablity, locations and connection of Folgers Coffee Machines. They claim in their literature, website, conversations and face to face the following. They have thousands off machines located all over the world. The locations are prime such as large hotel chains, casinos, malls, fine dining, automotive plants. Hence the claim of rapid turnover per month ie: 1200 cups per month per location. Claim to be tied to the hip with Jay Baird another scumbag who owns Advanced Placement regarding finding prime locations within 2 weeks at a fee of $900. I bought 3 Folger machines along with product for a cost of $12000. I had to go through 3 location companies and at the end my 3 prime locations were 2 ratty independent restaurants and a convenience store who canceled the placement before install. The 8oz cup turned into 12oz and the $1.15 profit per cup turned into. 75cents. The cost to me went from. 15cents to. 25cents.in two months the machines have sold a total of 48 cups. You must hire a plumber to hook the machines up. The machines are not easy to hook up and are subject to problems with climate change like humidity. I had made countless calls to company complaining about costs and locations to no avail. Stay away from this company. I am not a newbie. I have been involved in franchising and biz opp's for 30 years and these guys pulled a wool over my eyes. The final location company commented to me they new of no IBGC machine pulling down $1.00 plus anywhere.
