COFFEE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

The Coffee Program Development Problem

Without a clear coffee program, you end up with inconsistent coffee, messy inventory, and confused staff. Your blends taste different day-to-day, customers notice, and your brand feels generic. Without clear processes, you can’t innovate, and soon enough, competitors move ahead.

The Coffee Program Development Solution

We’ve spent decades developing coffee programs that actually work.
Creating a great coffee brand starts with a strong coffee program. Coffee program development is a process. From sourcing to shipping, we address the best practices to ensure that your coffee program delivers.

First, we identify your specific intentions and evaluate the best approach to satisfy your intended customer base. With expectations set, we outline the steps, and specific methodologies for you to engage in sourcing, green coffee analysis, sample roasting, and cupping and quality control to meet your objectives. We develop a coffee purchasing plan, essential to maintaining green inventories and managing cash flow. 

With instruction in green coffee analysis, we build a foundation of knowledge and skill. Hands-on practice in sample roasting and quality control best practices through cupping and sensory evaluations allow your team to calibrate and align on intention and expectations. Next, we work together to create roast profiles that meet your intentions and define the context of your coffee brand. Crafting single origins and blends that are targeted specifically to your customer base. 

To ensure long-term success, continuity in your process is critical. Establishing a form of product development lab, complete with equipment, resources, and lab guides will ensure that you remain ready to support your innovation. From sample roasting to cupping sessions, we design a coffee program that delights your customers and elevates your brand.
