Contestants make coffee seriously

Flower drawing has gradually become the first choice for coffee consumption.

Since 2015, Yantai boutique cafes have exploded. Wang Zhening, founder of Tamper Coffee, said that more than 30 cafes bought equipment from him in 2016 alone, and now the company supplies 82 cafes. "in the current situation of a large number of such cafes, the taste of coffee is more important, but Laohua is more important, because now many people like to take photos and post Weibo and moments before drinking coffee. The beauty of Lahua has become an important reason for consumers to choose coffee shops."

Coffee with delicious food has become a popular trend

Coffee contest China judges and professional barista au Yongxiang said: "from the current market, coffee seems to be more inseparable from food, but in the end the focus should be on food or coffee?" I believe that following the trend, there will be the fourth wave of coffee culture, that is, pairing fine coffee with exquisite cuisine. "

Coffee with snacks is now a choice for many people to spend in coffee shops. Today, "you can't say you've had a meal without taking a picture before a meal." for consumers, compared with the taste of coffee and the taste of food, the style of the flower and the delicacy of the food may become more important. Want to cater to the consumer psychology of consumers, not only can not give up coffee should pay attention to the taste, but also closely follow the footsteps of consumers, make corresponding adjustments.

Businesses should put consumer preferences in the first place.

When it comes to coffee, you will first think of Starbucks. When it comes to Starbucks, Wang Zhening believes that what Starbucks does best is its own management system and the introduction of coffee like drinks such as Frappuccino based on the preferences of Chinese consumers. well adapted to China's coffee market. To this, au Yongxiang said: "now many boutique coffee shops are caught in a misunderstanding. it does not mean that when you make boutique coffee, you have to think only about how to improve the taste of your coffee, but to enrich your menu, approach consumers, and seize consumers." If you only pay attention to the quality of hand-brewed coffee, it will deter many consumers.

The judges discussed the contestants' works.
