Our Story
Cora was doing coffee before coffee was cool!
It all started with Peter Cora in 1960, who was serving an espresso to many for the first time at his busy coffee house in Chicago. It wasn't long before people would come to know Peter Cora as the coffee connoisseur and he would advise them in their coffee inspired endeavors.
Naturally, an enterprising business evolved and it was not uncommon to find Peter Coras name behind equipment and cafe products in establishments across the nation.
The tradition lives on, three generations into the future as Cora continues to stand strong on their founding beliefs. The Cora family has continued to build relationships in the industry that have been critical to their unmatched ability to serve their clients, both big and small. This advantage allows Cora customers to choose from the best product array with unbeatable pricing, parts and certified service support - 7 days a week.
