Coffee shop selection of coffee beans!

With the opening of domestic cafes, the selection of coffee beans is generally a headache, and the domestic roasters are uneven, each emphasizing how good their beans are, in fact, there are very few coffee manufacturers with real quality. There are also many people who are hesitant about choosing domestic roasted coffee beans and foreign coffee beans. Here are some suggestions and references.

Coffee beans are the most important raw materials in cafes, and the quality of coffee beans determines the quality of the main products, so the selection of suitable coffee beans is the most critical step. it is generally recommended to select better coffee beans from several major domestic coffee roasters, and the coffee beans of general manufacturers are also divided into several levels, so be sure to choose a better level to avoid importing roasted coffee beans from abroad, although in principle The quality of foreign brand beans is very stable, but it is also because the best drinking time for roasted coffee beans is within a week to 80,100 days. If foreign coffee beans are imported into China, including transportation, customs inspection and other procedures, it will take more than a month, and then go through dealers at all levels, get rid of another week or two, and finally get to the coffee shop, no matter how good coffee beans are almost past the best drinking date. And the price of foreign brand beans is relatively high, which virtually increases the cost of operation.

On the one hand, if the opportunity is ripe, when there are several coffee chains, you can consider buying a dryer to bake your own coffee beans. in fact, there are also some cafes in China (in the case of only one coffee shop) that also roast raw beans by themselves. by doing so, they can enhance the uniqueness of the coffee shop, and it also has the following advantages: first, to ensure the supply, and second, to grasp and guarantee the quality of coffee beans. Third, you can also mix a variety of coffee beans with unique taste. Finally, it can also be sold as its own brand products to consumers who like to brew their own coffee; and now the supply of raw coffee beans in China is relatively complete, which can definitely guarantee their own source materials.

Whether you choose roasted coffee beans or raw beans, you should choose one or two large suppliers, the first is the guarantee of product quality, the second is a relatively complete variety of coffee, and the supply is relatively stable. Avoid looking for several suppliers, the third is more thoughtful service, large suppliers of distribution services, after-sales service is relatively thoughtful.
