In 1960, a patron casually asked café owner, Peter Cora, if he could assist in obtaining an espresso machine for the Playboy Club in Chicago. After that initial equipment sale, Cora evolved from a café into a "one-stop-shop" distributor for many local and national customers.

Today, Cora offers its customers various makes of time-tested equipment as well as a full line of products particularly suited for upscale cafés and restaurants. We offer only the highest quality of products, which are aimed to satisfy your taste buds as well as boost sales for your businesses.
