These trends make any business blossom, reach into a new audience and position itself among the must-visit coffee spots.

But, how do you turn yourself into a trendsetter? Having a signature drink will make you stand out from the competition, for example. You can brainstorm with your partners, employers and providers (especially if you work with Coffland Corp) to create the next new trend.

Experts consider that the palate of the average coffee drinker is becoming more discerning, so as a business owner you should work on pleasing this demand. To know how you make it, you need to see the modern market, techniques and implements that make a coffee trend. For that reason, let’s talk about the current trendsetters! 

Hot coffee trends

Coffee consumption outside of the home is getting more popular by the minute; this is because people view coffee as an affordable luxury. Many believe that it can become as valued as wine! This is why trends like the following exist. Coffee is definitely becoming a special commodity in the market, celebrated for its lovers, thanks to its unique flavors, origins and preparation techniques.

Coffee in a cone

Who said ice cream was the only food in title of using cones? In South Africa, cafés and coffee houses started to serve coffee in cones; but of course, inside a glass. The cookie is reinforced with a thick layer of molten chocolate. When you finish your coffee eating the cone is delicious because it absorbs the taste of the chocolate and that cappuccino you were craving for. But this is not a beverage you can take to work; it is better if you drink it quickly or the cone will disintegrate!

As a signature drink, it is a great strategy for positioning your shop or brand. Clients will love to take pictures of it and recommended not only to their friends but everyone that check their social media posts. 

Coffee with nitrogen

Nitro coffee… it sounds from another planet, right? The way is processed is quite marvelous because it is created when adding nitrogen to cold-brew coffee. Once brewed, the coffee is stored in a keg connected to a pressurized valve full with small holes. Slowly it starts adding nitrogen gas until the drink becomes smoother and creamier despite being just black coffee. What it does is give it texture without taking away the taste. Fancy as it sounds, people seem to like it and is very popular in Australia and the U.K. 

Coffee leaf-tea

For centuries herbal coffee tea has existed, but it wasn’t that popular until now. This is because studies have shown it is rich in antioxidants and low in caffeine. Its elaboration consists in recollecting the leaves from the coffee plant and then roasting them. They can also be ground up or crumpled. In modern times, it’s now a trend in Great Britain (and well, they love tea!). When it comes to fair-trade, it will help farmers to have more income and help increase local economies.

It is exciting how easily a business can transform and offer a one of a kind experience.

Is There a Right Temperature for Serving Coffee?

Depending on the ingredients, some must be hotter than others

Although iced coffee is an immense trend, traditional hot coffee is not going anywhere. When it comes to pleasing this delicious craving in the mornings, there is nothing more unpleasant than burning your tongue and have that pain with you the rest of the day… oh, wait! There is, a drink not being hot enough, especially on these cloudy winter days.

The right temperature for serving coffee may be a myth if you are looking for an exact number of Fahrenheit and Celsius, but one thing is for sure: it will also depend on your clients’ demands. In this article, we will help you understand how heating is important to maintain the flavors and be truthful to the recipes.

Does the right temperature for coffee even exist?

When starting a business in this industry, the first fact you should know about heating is that the brewing temperature is different from the one you will serve to people. Now that we took those doubts out of the way, generally the rule in many cafés and restaurants is to heat up the water between 195°F and 205°F, but to drink the final result -as we mentioned before- is another story.

Do not exceed the 205°F line

The middle range in the rules for brewing coffee is 200°F. Playing save in this kind of context will save you from getting an angry client. But in a more serious note, the real problem of exceeding the 205°F is that the drink can taste bitterer than expected, and in the worst cases, it will have a burnt flavor and aroma.

Been that said, coffee should not be kept warm with a hot plate before serving. Ideally, it must be left alone, so the temperature drops just a bit to serve it afterward. An external heater would overcook the liquid and burn it. If what you want is to keep it warm, you may use a thermal carafe and wait at least 30 seconds to serve it.

Cannot be below 195°F

Respecting this general rule is not always about saving unprotected and innocent tongues. If it’s brewed bellow 195° F -in terms of chemistry- the flavor from the coffee beans will be under-extracted. This means that if exceeding 205°F makes the drink taste bitter, below 195°F it will make it a sour relish.

What about serving?

When it comes to serving coffee, the temperature, again, depends on the client's requirements. Nevertheless, the ideal heat in this matter is between 120°F and 140°F. Your employees should learn how to master serving between these ranges. In case a customer insists on having a piping hot coffee it’s probably because he or she wants for his o her cup to stay in a pleasant heat when arriving at work. When this happens, and the situation is clarified, the temperature it's normally 180°F.

By drinking your coffee in the recommended range, especially in the perfect balance of 130°F, flavors taste much better, so you can feel the qualities of all the ingredients used in its preparation. In Coffland Corp, we want to help you take care of every detail so you can offer a quality service. Follow us on our social media networks for more relevant information to catapult your business.

Some people like it very hot, and there are others who drink it colder so they can taste every flavor, which one are you?

How to Please Everyone's Taste in Coffee with a Killing Menu

Attract all kind of clients, including the pickiest ones

Starting a business is a dream come true, but in the food industry pleasing everyone’s palate is critical to bring as much positive attention as it is possible during that tumultuous -yet exciting- early stage of entrepreneurship.

To accomplish what at first seems too tricky, having your future clientele happy is an important reminder to make a killing coffee menu. Brainstorming in the kitchen and with your provider for your espresso bar, coffee house or maybe a café, is fun and an excellent professional decision.

In this modern and always-changing world of coffee, the variety of drinks is almost endless. Flavor combinations, temperatures, and textures come in every size and shape. At this point, it is essential to consider a presentation, design, original names and additional services.

A killing coffee menu

The best way to attract more clients is by offering them a quality menu that can please their cravings and also stimulate their curiosity for new drinks. Nevertheless, simplicity is critical to help your employees serve without hesitation. With that in mind, categorizing is not complicated and choosing the ingredients is more entertained than you think.

Classics

Let’s start with the basics, which in this case are those most requested drinks. They only need coffee, milk, sugar, and cream. Their taste will depend on the proportions of the ingredients. In this list commonly appear the Americano, variations of latte, cappuccino, espresso, red-eye, and flat white. Even though these beverages are the easiest ones to prepare, their presentation must be on point because regarding creativity they are a blank canvas. Try to add your logo, a bit of color or a unique figure over that good foam on top.

Fancy

Thanks to social media, drinks not only need to taste unusual to get good reviews, but they must look beautifully well made. A grand marketing strategy is to offer at least three fancy drinks that can be photographed in a very aesthetic way. Been that said those coffees might be a little bit exotic and that is perfect. Try with mint, cinnamon, condensed milk, a lot of chocolate, whipped cream, alcohol, and more delightful ingredients.

Low that temperature

Iced, frozen and frappe coffee is a must-have in every menu. The ingredients are the same from the rest, but the presentation and flavor definitely change. New generations: millennials and x’s are more likely to choose this beverage. Caramel iced, brew, frozen mochaccino, frappe pumpkin pie, and even.

Extras and recommendations

In an ideal coffee menu extras and recommendations add personality to drinks and -of course- bring more curious and hungry clients. A solid carte is reinforced when you give people the opportunity to drink their coffee with enough chocolate, too much too good cinnamon, and a big mountain of cream, for instance.  

Do not forget to see through our social media networks for more killing ideas. Coffland Corp offers a variety of coffee combinations as providers for you to have quality products in your new exciting journey as an entrepreneur.

It's all about the perfect combination of ingredients

The Most Delicious Flavors You Can Add to Your Private Label Coffee

Choose your signature flavor

In this competitive world of the coffee industry, differentiating from other businesses is as simple as creating a private label. This is valid for hotels, espresso bars, coffee houses, cafés and restaurants that want to stand out.

At this point, you probably know that in Coffland Corp we process our clients’ ideas and make them real. No matter if you are the owner of a big or small company, we adapt to what you ask us to do. With your particular demands in flavor combinations, we will help you to create a one of a kind signature coffee.

You can consider five different ingredients and other aspects for your private label. As a bonus, we will send you the product in a presentation that suits you, whether it’s a bag, k-cup pods. Despite all that, we are more than aware that choosing those flavors can be tricky. As a coffee lover, it might be difficult for you to find the perfect taste.

Flavors for your private label

If you are motivated but need the inspiration to create a unique product, here are some hints with the considered and suggested flavors that can make your clients remember your business, thanks to its delicious and singular coffee.

Local ingredients

Depending on the region your business is located, ingredients from traditional dishes can potentially be added to this recipe. In the mountain areas, popular edible flowers and fruits can make your customers think they can taste and smell a spring drink all year. But if it is on the beach or near the coast, coconut is a good twist.

Something bitter

There are two types of people, those who like their coffee very sweet, and others that prefer it a little bitter. And naturally, in most cases, a good coffee bean has its taste balanced. Adding an earthy flavor is the answer if you want to stick to a natural essence. Peanut, woody and even musty oils can add this effect.

A balance of sweetness

Your private label will probably need a balance of sweetness, a very subtle one that will make your drink more sophisticated. Most favor chocolate, in any of its presentations, to please almost every palate, and there are others that love their coffee with a little vanilla extract. In this category, fruits can also be included, like banana, apple, kiwi, peach, and even mango!

Spice it up

A spicy aroma is probably why this type of coffee becomes a signature drink. Spices easily stick to the coffee beans and make them taste pleasantly strong. Cinnamon and nutmeg are versatile ingredients, but by only adding them you are playing safe. To spice things up, cardamom is used in various Middle East beverages, and its flavor is definitely exotic; and -of course- do not forget about peppermint. In this sense, it’s surprising how well salt works to soften the bitterness.

All these ideas are just hints of what Coffland Corp offers to take your coffee to another level of amazingness. This business decision will help you gain brand recognition in the early future. If you pair with us, we will materialize that dream with a one of a kind private label.

Choose ingredients that will make your private label coffee a movie star: irresistible and famous

Five Facts About Millennial Coffee Lovers

Millennials' world coffee consumption can increase the export of this product.

In a newspaper, in a shop, in a blog, in a workshop, in all these contexts someone has spoken of the so-called millennials, but do you really know to whom this term refers to? They are those young people who were born in the mid-80s and early 90s, those who reached adulthood with the change of the millennium, which also brought great political and technological changes. All those factors marked the life of this generation that now can be designated as millennials coffee lovers.

Why coffee lovers? This generation has been characterized by putting aside the tendencies of young people from past generations. Instead of consuming soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, such as craft beers, millennials tend to prefer the second most consumed beverage in the world: coffee.

Since they have become important targets for brands, inside and outside the coffee sector, Coffland Corps provides you with a list of interesting facts about millennials and coffee that you should consider when entering the coffee business.

Facts about millennial coffee lovers

Their coffee addiction drains coffee reserves

Believe it or not, more and more people are choosing to drink this caffeinated beverage. In the United States alone, approximately 26 million people drink coffee, which, just in 2016, was affecting the reserves of exporting countries such as Brazil. In this regard, 44% of the coffee cups served in the country were consumed just by young people aged between 19 years and 34 years old.

They are the target of brands that want to promote their values

Currently, different brands are adapting to the new generations to attract potential customers. In this case, financial brands such as CaixaBank in Barcelona and Capital Bank in San Francisco, choose to transform part of their buildings into entertainment centers, such as cafes.

These premises are intended to promote brand values, but not financial products. The idea is to look like an attractive brand for a generation with different values.

For them, every hour is good to drink coffee

In the past, coffee was reserved for morning and breakfast only. However, for millennials, their relationship with coffee goes beyond that, as it’s not only a matter of drinking to get their caffeine dose but also to enjoy new experiences. For this reason, coffee is good at all times, either to show off your passion for coffee or to try a new creation.

Millennials coffee lovers are a global phenomenon

Coffee addiction has not only occurred in the United States. In several countries around the world, people between the ages of 16 years and 25 years old have reported coffee as their favorite beverage. In countries such as India (65.9%), Russia (64.1%), Colombia (62.5%), and Mexico (59.6%) there is a strong preference for coffee among the millennials.

Even countries with fewer traditions for coffee, such as Japan and China, have joined this phenomenon.

They do not drink coffee at home

Brewing coffee at home is now a tradition only of baby boomers, Gen-Xers. Millennials usually buy their gourmet coffee at trendy cafés; these places have gone from being just coffee bars to a place where you can even work or have a meeting with friends. Little by little, these new cafés have adapted to the needs of the new generation, offering new spaces and new ways of drinking the famous elixir.

It’s difficult to know if this trend will stop at any time; however, it’s an aspect to consider if you want to start a business in the coffee world. Millennials are a generation interested in this product and have studied it. It does not matter if the price of a cup of coffee is high, if it is a quality product, they will pay for it.

Get the Espresso Machine of your Dreams

Once you get the right machine, it will all work out perfectly!

An espresso is not just a kind of processed coffee by a machine. This drink has a very delicate preparation that has been perfected over the years. Since the early XIX century, the espresso machine has had several changes that influenced the arrangement of the most famous hot beverage around the world.  But how does this impact your business? Well, espresso machines make an incredible difference!

Having a good espresso machine can be decisive for your coffee, and of course, when you live by serving this beverage, you need to pick the best options on the market. The shape and size of the machines determine their final product, like how smooth, dense and hot is the espresso when you serve it in a cup.

That's why Coffland Corp brings you these practical recommendations to find a perfect espresso machine for you. Don't be afraid to experiment with new engineering. Technology can be a great friend if you know exactly how to take advantage of it!

The first step to determine what kind of espresso machine you need is evaluating how many coffees' cup you produce every day, how often you serve it and the capacity of your work space or your staff.

Always remember that, if you're in an office, you don't need an espresso machine that is used in a more professional coffee context. There are lots of options. Each one adapted to all sorts of circumstances.

Next, when you're on the market, think about all the featuring that an espresso machine needs to work out:

• The boiler must be big enough to produce the hot water and the steam you need in one round.
• Also, the machine you want has to be silent and not too hot if you're working in a reduced space and you don't want to burn your staff.
• Your espresso machine needs to be consistently working with the low and the high pressure because if it's turning on/off constantly, the heat in the water will cause a cold espresso and an inefficient hot milk cream.
• The filter must be auto-cleaning, or at least very easy to remove so anyone can refresh it. Besides, you have to evaluate if it’s a high-quality filter by testing the thickness of the espresso.
• Is the espresso machine aesthetically right for you? You don't want a bigger machine that looks like it came out of a horror movie. Find a machine that combines with your work space (in volume and aesthetic).

Choosing the best espresso machine is not as simple as it looks. You have to be very fussy and measured not to let yourself go with instinct or bad publicity.

Here in Coffland Corp we know what’s best for you, that's why we always recommend you our best options. Next time you have to buy a new espresso machine, take the advantage thanks to these tips!

Learn to pick wisely your espresso machine. It does make a difference!

How to Appeal to Millennial Coffee Lovers?

This generation is more prone to spend their bucks on specialty products.

While there’s no real consensus on what is the exact age gap of millennials, there’s something that nobody can deny: they are one of the most avid consumers in many markets. They are often the bulk of modern work force and are not shy to spend their money on particular interests, as they wish to know and experience the pleasures of the world. As they spend lots of money in these small pleasures, it’s ideal that you learn how to appeal to millennial coffee lovers.

The main difference between millennials and other consumers is their volubility. They are the demographic sector that’s willing to change their habits in the blink of an eye, so a way to appeal them is to make sure to offer them something innovative. However, regardless of their ability to change environments and choices without many problems, millennials are faithful: once you make them fall in love, they will be the first ones to recommend your business to other people.

This factor alone has the potential to increase your clientele, as they work as replicators and will increase your business opportunities once you make them love your store. But how do you get to this point? Here is a handy list you should take into account to attract millennial consumers:

• Give them internet access: while this service is complimentary to most coffee shops locations, giving your millennial customers access to internet access does make a difference.
• Reward their loyalty: once they visit their shop, there’s a high chance they’ll visit again. Once this happens, reward their loyalty and make them see that you are aware of their importance to your business.
• Keep them updated: they love to stay up to date with what you offer. If you have new products, show them first on social media or through other digital profiles. Entice them to visit your shop through these updates.
• Offer personalized products: Millennials love to create their own flavors and get hands on in the process of production. Conveniently involve them with a “make your own cold coffee” with additions strategy. This can work wonders to draw them into your business.
• Give them unique sights: one of the things that "clicks" in this demographic sector is the looks. They will look for a place with a great environment, but an excellent and creative product (think of latte art or cold-brews) will draw them to your business.
• Share their information online: Millennials love to share everything on social media, and more often than not, they will be thrilled when you share their posts on your professional online profiles.

When you are the owner of a coffee shop, having the correct audience makes a difference. Appeal a millennial audience by offering them the right things, and increase your business opportunities. Contact Coffland Corp to check what they can offer you to reach the audience you want! Explore their flavored options and the chance to create a private brand and establish your business with the right flavors!

This fraction of the market has high consumer impulses.
