What drives the cost in Missouri
Missouri has a moderate state sales tax with local and special district additions that can push combined rates in St. Louis and Kansas City fairly high. Water varies, with St. Louis drawing from the Missouri and Mississippi rivers and landing in the moderate range, while Ozark groundwater is often hard. Both Kansas City and St. Louis have specialty coffee scenes with technicians who service prosumer machines.
Tips for Missouri buyers
- Check local rates; they vary considerably between cities and special taxing districts.
- Test water in the Ozarks; limestone typically means hard water and a softening cartridge.
- St. Louis and Kansas City roasters can refer technicians who work on prosumer machines.
Ranges are hedged planning estimates derived from a national typical range and a local index, not quotes. A typical fully equipped prosumer or luxury espresso station, with the machine, a serious grinder and delivery, most often lands somewhere in this range before sales tax and any plumbing or electrical work; it varies widely with the machine tier, the grinder chosen and how the station is installed.
