Oh hi welcome !
So we currently in spring approaching summer and a lot of people have been coming out to enjoy these blissful sunny days before the rain season approaches us .This time was the perfect time to introduce my new cup sizes which was 650ml cups . Or what I call it in my shop XG “ Xtra Grande”. I had thought the adaption will take abit of time for people to move from 500ml to 650 ml cups, be abit slow . But I was actually wrong , as soon as I had put them on I had got orders for XG size the first day . Ice coffees where the main orders as it was not so filling as the milkshakes . Though I always advised people I placed it on the menu because it would be a good size to drink and sip through the day at the office or at home .
Mocha ice coffee are definitely my favorite to make , a beautiful chocolate sauce around the cup . Then while I pour my espresso shot I add my chocolate and mix it till it turns thick . Then I pour it over the milk . For the final touch I had a drizzle of chocolate sauce on the top .
These are the sizes of the XG . I am abit of a big boy with big hands so . I can imagine the intimidation of when I give the people their ice coffee and place it in front of them . The main problem I had was the ingredients the correct amount as it was 150ml more then the 500ml . But once I got that sorted I got a really good balanced drink of coffee and chocolate .
I currently have been exploring specialty coffee for my Cappuccinos and other hot drinks . I have some coming early next week from Capetown , so that is definitely something to look forward to. Knowing the price of specialty coffee is abit expensive as high grade beans are used and the roasting process is well done by a pro. I do want to experience it to the full extend which I am going to contact the suppliers and the preferable process or method of using it before I start doing my own thing and seeing what I can get . The coffee is a blend of Brazilian and Columbian . So I am expecting my favorite taste in coffees ... can you guess what it is ? ....... Chocolate 🍫...The bag I got was not that badly price compared to their other coffee prices .. which I will be looking to try out later on .
Thank you for reading and for your time ! Stay caffeinated! Till next time !
I also think it's a big coffee, but when I'm half way through it, I say to myself, it wasn't that much haha.
Too much coffee is definitely not enough coffee.... and to think there are places that do 1l cup sizes lol ....
The summer may be knocking on your door, but here, the winter starts to step closer. Hemispheres… 😁
Specialty coffee is surely a thing and I really hope that the mainstream adoption, worldwide, will not influence our best joy in a bad manner.
Best wishes and stay positive!
To behonest with the company blue bottle , it has gone mainstream, and I feel with the price of coffee beans going up due to farmers having a hard time growing ... I feel it will become more expensive... with mainstream media covering it and then demand going higher because of scarcity ...
Winter I hated it when it was here cause us South Africans hate the cold and we don’t go any where cause our beds are so warm ... but now the heat is kind of getting abit to much ..
Keep well and thanks for the positivity
Good job 👍
So I'm happy that customers are buying into your new cup size.
It's probably more economical for them in the long run:)
Thank you Very Much!!!! I kind of only want to sell big drinks now lol... 350ml looks like a baby
Haha! I trust your judgement on that:)
Heading into summer eh? That's lucky. I'm going into winter, boooo!
Lol winters are abit sad, I'm not going to lie lol
