    AN ESSENTIAL COFFEE & HOT BEVERAGE PRESENTATION GUIDE *See inside for example percentage sales from the Gentlemen Baristas % If the boom in specialty coffee tells us anything, it’s that customers are demanding a better-quality cup of coffee wherever they’re purchasing it. Never has the coffee-loving consumer been more interested in the origin of the green beans that go in to their beloved espresso or which cows supplied the expertly steamed, lightly textured milk that makes up their flat white. There is now a huge emphasis on the training of baristas, the upkeep of the coffee equipment and the crockery / glassware in which tea, coffee and chocolate is served. Serving good coffee in well-chosen crockery from an easy to decipher menu is a no brainer. The margins are good and if you’re able to convince a jolly decent chap / chappette that you are the go-to shop, they’ll come back again and again giving you regular cash in the till / contactless payments. Throughout this document, we’ll try and guide you through the difficult decisions of which hot drinks to serve and in exactly which cups regardless of whether you are a new business or have been trading for several years. When Espresso bars popped up in London through the 1950’s, coffee in the UK changed forever.

  • Starbucks Amanda Albert People, Places and Environment October 11, 2012
    Starbucks Amanda Albert People, Places and Environment October 11, 2012 Since 1971 Starbucks has been more than just a cup of coffee. Holding the title for America’s largest global coffee company, with shops in over 60 countries, Starbucks brings the old Italian coffeehouse tradition into modern light. The invigorating smells of the world’s highest quality coffee beans, state of the art espresso machinery, and the social café atmosphere of all Starbucks’ coffeehouses set the backdrop for the extraordinary customer experience that is cherished by loyal customers. CEO of the coffee shop empire, Howard Shultz, believes Starbucks is rekindling America’s love affair with coffee. Gaining entry into Forbes Top 100 Businesses, Starbucks earned its spot with their powerful combination of marketing and branding techniques that lure potential customers, but the secret ingredient to their success is the creation of their unique customer experience blend, the Starbucks environment, which has ultimately driven them to the top along with Starbucks’ numerous diehard loyal customers. Starbucks’ success also feeds off the company’s culture it has created. Starbucks’ culture is organized with an internal focus, where it concerns itself with their own first, its supplier, employees and customers, like a family. The company’s culture is also built with flexibility, which allows for innovation and adaptation to change, imperative to Starbuck’s sustainability goals. The world-famous coffeehouse chain is about more than just a cup of coffee. Besides making that marvelous cup of coffee, Starbucks has created human interactions with their café’s ambiance, as well as sparked community involvement, while also celebrating cultural diversity around the world.

    The Coffee Bean: A Value Chain and Sustainability Initiatives Analysis Melissa Murphy, University of Connecticut, Stamford CT USA Timothy J. Dowding, University of Connecticut, Stamford CT USA ABSTRACT This paper examines Starbucks’ corporate strategy of sustainable efforts in Ethiopia, particularly in the sustainable sourcing Arabica coffee. The paper discusses the value chain of coffee, issues surrounding the coffee supply chain and the need for sustainable coffee production. In addition it also discusses Starbucks’ position and influence on the coffee trade, and the measures that Starbucks is taking to ensure sustainability efforts throughout the coffee supply chain. COFFEE VALUE CHAIN & P3G ANALYSIS Coffee is produced in more than fifty developing countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia and it is an important source of income for 20-25 million families worldwide [1]. The initial production of coffee beans including farming, collecting, and processing is labor intensive and as a result is performed in more labor abundant developing countries. The roasting and branding of coffee is more capital intensive and therefore is situated in northern industrialized countries. The top five coffee consumers are United States of America, Brazil, Germany, Japan, and France [1]. The structure of the value chain is very similar regardless of producing or consuming country. The coffee value chain is made up of the four main phases: Cultivation, Processing, Roasting, and Consumption. Each phase in the process has environmental, social, economic

  • Americans' Taste for Cold Brew Transforms Summertime Coffee Market NEW YORK | by LUC COHEN
    Americans' taste for cold brew transforms summertime coffee market NEW YORK | BY LUC COHEN A coffee cup of a nitrogen-infused cold brew coffee from Brooklyn-based roaster Gillies Coffee out of a tap is seen at Guy & Gallard cafeteria in New York July 31, 2015. REUTERS/EDUARDO MUNOZ For U.S. coffee shops, business usually cools down as the weather heats up. But as the latest craze, cold brew coffee, moves from a hipster infatuation to mainstream staple, that traditional seasonal pattern is unraveling. Since cold brew often uses more beans than traditional iced coffee, it could boost overall U.S. demand for coffee beans, partially offsetting the effect of the more efficient single-serve pods popularized by Keurig Green Mountain. Peet's Coffee & Tea, one of the nation's biggest coffee chains with about 400 stores, replaced traditional iced coffee with cold brew in June, and has seen cold brew sales exceed last year's iced coffee sales by as much as 70 percent. "We went all in on cold brew," Peet's general manager Tyler Ricks said, noting that the newer product is smoother, more refreshing and lacks iced coffee's "harsh, bitter note." For Peet's, which reported total revenue last year of $540 million, focusing on cold brew was part of an effort to slow the seasonal decline in coffee sales, which several roasters estimated at between 15 and 20 percent. Others have jumped on board, including the nation's largest coffee chain, Starbucks, which launched cold brew at 2,800 stores this summer. Hector Mai, manager of a Guy & Gallard cafeteria in midtown Manhattan, began serving cold brew this summer and has already noticed iced tea sales declining.

  • Coffee Flavor and Flavor Attributes That Drive Consumer Liking for These Novel Products
    beverages Review Coffee Flavor: A Review Denis Richard Seninde and Edgar Chambers IV * Center for Sensory Analysis and Consumer Behavior, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66502, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 June 2020; Accepted: 3 July 2020; Published: 8 July 2020 Abstract: Flavor continues to be a driving force for coffee’s continued growth in the beverage market today. Studies have identified the sensory aspects and volatile and non-volatile compounds that characterize the flavor of different coffees. This review discusses aspects that influence coffee drinking and aspects such as environment, processing, and preparation that influence flavor. This summary of research studies employed sensory analysis (either descriptive and discrimination testing and or consumer testing) and chemical analysis to determine the impact aspects on coffee flavor. Keywords: coffee flavor; processing; preparation; emotion; environment; consumer acceptance 1. Introduction The coffee market is currently worth USD 15.1 billion and growing. This market is mainly comprised of roasted, instant, and ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee [1]. The flavor of a roasted coffee brew is influenced by factors such as the geographical location of origin, variety, climatic factors, processing methods, roasting process, and preparation methods [2–10]. The differences in sensory properties can, in turn, affect consumers’ preferences for and emotions or attitudes toward coffee drinking [11]. 1.1. Motivations for Drinking Coffee As indicated by Phan [12], the motivations for drinking coffee can be grouped under 17 constructs: liking, habits, need and hunger, health, convenience, pleasure, traditional eating, natural concerns, sociability, price, visual appeal, weight control, affect regulation, social norms, social image [13], choice and variety seeking [12,14,15].

  • Carbon Footprint of Different Coffee Brewing Methods Matteo Cibelli, Alessio Cimini, Mauro Moresi*
    A publication of CHEMICAL ENGINEERING TRANSACTIONS VOL. 76, 2020 The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering Online at www.aidic.it/cet Guest Editors: Laura Piazza, Mauro Moresi, Francesco Donsì Copyright © 2021, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l. ISBN 978-88-95608-85-3; ISSN 2283-9216 Carbon Footprint of Different Coffee Brewing Methods Matteo Cibelli, Alessio Cimini, Mauro Moresi* Department for Innovation in the Biological, Agrofood and Forestry Systems, University of Tuscia, Viterbo, Italy [email protected] The aim of this work was to assess which coffee brewing method was the most environmentally friendly one among a 3-cup induction Moka pot, and two single-serving coffee machines. To this end, a streamlined Life Cycle Assessment including the use of the above coffee machines, production, transportation, and disposal of all packaging materials used, and disposal of spent coffee grounds was carried out in compliance with the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2050 standard method. The production of one 40-mL coffee cup with the induction Moka pot gave rise to as low as 8 g CO2e, these emissions being about 18% or 56% lower than those resulting from the use of a coffee capsule (10 g CO2e) or pod (18.5 g CO2e) coffee machine. These estimates might help the eco-conscious consumer to assess the environmental impact of his/her consumption habits. 1. Introduction About 500 billion cups of coffee are consumed worldwide every year (Much Needed, 2020). Thus, coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. In 2019 the Italian consumption of roasted and ground coffee amounted to around 304,000 metric tons (Iascone, 2020).
