The origin of blue bottle coffee

How did American Blue bottle Coffee, a boutique coffee brand from Oakland, create its coffee empire? James Freeman, the founder of Blue Bottle, was a clarinet musician. In order to have a cup of coffee at any time, he began to set up a stall at the San Francisco Farmers' Market in 2005, insisting on picking and baking for no more than 48 hours of fresh quality. He even introduced the anti-fast-food concept of slow coffee into the busy San Francisco Silicon Valley, a unique coffee business model that gave him a loyal fan base in Silicon Valley.

The business philosophy of blue bottle coffee is that people, like the blue bottle experiment, the essence is only after withdrawing the external color. In this spirit, we always provide high-quality coffee to every customer.

Blue bottle coffee bean species recommendation

Blue Bottle not only emphasizes manual flushing, but also can not be careless in terms of coffee bean selection, water quality, coffee roasting, production and presentation. A cup of coffee from roasting to production, insisted on being completed within 48 hours, to provide customers with the freshest delicacy.

Here you can first choose a cup of coffee (Single Origin) to taste the original flavor of the coffee. In addition, if you are worried that drinking coffee can easily hurt your stomach, you can try to take a look at the New Orleans iced coffee (New Orleans Iced) available in the store. If you want a special coffee flavor, the rare coffee variety, GIBRALTAR, can also be drunk here.
