Dealing With Coffee Suppliers


Friday, September 21, 2007

Coffee has been second to water for most people. And with the growing number of coffee business worldwide, serving the best of different blends, types, roasts and brews, one has to be a coffee-lover himself to be successful in the coffee shop business.

Starbucks is one of the leading coffee shop nowadays, and most people are probably thinking, what’s in their product? Where do they buy the type of coffee beans they are brewing that makes them ahead in the competition compared to the other coffee shops worldwide?

Where and how can you distinguish which coffee should you buy?

Only the best beans make it, and Brazil and Colombia are the 2 largest suppliers of coffee. So that does mean you shouldn’t buy your coffee elsewhere?

No. Not Necessarily.

Actually, the key to finding coffee that suits you best depends on you.

Know exactly what you want to buy


  • Do not let other people, even your supplier choose your coffee. Before buying, you should know already which specific product or coffee you have in mind. Base it on what you want, and not by others.

  • Choose your coffee depending on how it will suit your entire coffee shop. Will it be suitable for the coffee maker you have? Will it suit your brewing method?


Know the Labels

  • Coffee has different types and brands. There are green coffees, which are usually roasted and blended together to produce certain tastes and aromas to suit, the consumers’ tastes. Coffee Beans are heated to add flavor, and roasting the beans in different ways and heat, produces different flavors.
  • Be experimental.


Buy from a reliable and knowledgeable source

  • Prices of coffee beans can be a bit costly from Well-known Coffee Suppliers compared to other Coffee Stores and sources where you can get you coffee bean products at half the price less. But would you rather spend less for the product you haven’t even tasted yet, rather than spend much more for the coffee the taste you love and had personally tested?



Turn yourself into a Coffee-Lover
  • When I say Coffee-Lover, I mean, not just a coffee-drinker, but a coffee-aficionado in general. If you want to be successful in your coffee business, you have to love coffee literally. Never stop researching for other coffee characteristics and blends that would help, not only you as a drinker, but as a seller as well. Study and learn the different types of coffee, its origin, and experiment on how to brew your coffee that would better suit your consumers’ taste.
