What is the basis for coffee shops to choose coffee beans?

This subtitle is actually a little too big, and we can only choose the main points to talk about it. For a coffee shop, the first criterion for choosing coffee beans is the positioning of the coffee shop. if your coffee shop is not mainly selling coffee, but only pursuing cost control, you can choose ordinary commercial beans, but if you are a person who pursues perfection and is committed to producing a good cup of coffee, then I suggest you consider boutique coffee beans.

Second, what is the difference between fine coffee beans and commercial coffee beans?

The concept of boutique coffee has become more and more popular in recent years, although it is often heard of, but there has never been a so-called standard definition, so the concept of boutique coffee beans is actually quite vague. To put it simply, boutique coffee beans are high-quality raw beans, roasted with exquisite baking skills, and restore the unique taste of the coffee beans themselves, which belongs to only this kind of coffee beans. Roasted coffee beans are consumed during the best drinking period. ?

And commercial coffee beans refer to the kind of large-scale mass production and packaging. It can be well explained by a noun, that is, the so-called "road goods". This kind of coffee beans are generally cheaper, and both raw coffee beans and roasting techniques can only be produced according to a batch standard. As for the best drinking period of coffee beans, there is less consideration, maybe the coffee beans you buy are made a year ago.

The biggest difference between boutique coffee and commercial coffee beans lies in their quality and price. Boutique coffee beans may cost 90 yuan a pound, while commercial beans may cost as little as 30 yuan a pound.

Third, how do coffee shops choose coffee beans?

Coffee shop for the choice of coffee beans, the most important thing is to consider the positioning of your coffee shop, what kind of coffee do you want to present to your guests? If you are only pursuing cost control, then you can completely consider commercial beans. If you really want you to bring good coffee to your guests, please choose boutique coffee beans. In fact, you can pick up the counter and calculate the bill. Even coffee made from boutique coffee beans can cost much more than commercial beans. But just because of this little difference, it can change the guest's impression of coffee in your cafe.

Italian coffee beans are usually blended into commercial coffee beans from different varieties of coffee beans in order to create different flavors and reduce costs.
