Coffee Business 101.
This is something I wished there was a subject for. Or if there is one, I wished I had enrolled in. Because starting a coffee business isn't easy at all!!
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE COFFEE. So, I realized that if I turned my passion for coffee into business, it would be a dream come true!
Well, it is.
But it's not all cupcakes and rainbows. After all, there is the cost, the ingredients, the tools, the right recipe, marketing, and profit analysis. Gosh, the list goes on!
☕ Choice of beans...
What's the best coffee bean for cold brew? You see, I want to keep the menu short and offer only cold brew coffee. It's a great caffeine drink in a bottle. And the best part is that you can carry it wherever you go!
Okay, so about the beans... I tried a variety of the Bo's Coffee bean selections since it was the most accessible at hand.
I've tried the:
✔️ Barista's Blend
✔️ Mt. Apo
✔️ Sagada
Among these three, the best one with good aroma, bitter yet sweet taste and with later aftertaste is...
☕ Mt. Apo Coffee Beans
Behold! See how beautiful the beans are freshly roasted from Mt Apo itself!
☕ Got all the equipment!!
We can't really make any cold brew without the proper equipment, can we? So I had this online shopping haul and purchased the basics.
I think I got them right, right? Had a few sample bottles, squeeze bottles, and a digital weighing scale for the beans.
So, I guess this is pretty basic. And there's a manual grinder coming soon! I'm just completely happy at how the products turned out and how I can make a simple formula with these!
👀 A little sneak peek
So I have the bottles and the logo stickers on hand. Also had this DIY photoshoot of the products with the help of my husband.
Just a little sneak peak on how the photos look...
All there is left to do is edit the photos a little, market like crazy, and start selling! 🚀
💭 What do you think?
What makes people buy coffee? I think I have listed down most of the details pretty well. It's the marketing that I have to really work with now.
As a coffee lover yourself, what is it that you want from your cold brew?
What makes you click that "Order Now" button for that irresistible caffeine goodness in a bottle?
Is it the taste?
The cool bottles?
The price?
Its popularity?
Or the freebies or promotions?
If you're a coffee entrepreneur or enthusiast, feel free to share a few tips and suggestions!
I'd be so happy to learn or hear from you, fellow coffee lover ☕🤎

I found it interesting that you have decided to stick to cold brews. It could prove to be a wide decision if your business's name gets known for offering such.Hello @tangatraveller,
Yes, there are indeed many aspects of things to cover when running a coffee business. I wish you all the best, and hope that all will fall into place with as little stress as possible.
Have a lovely week ahead:)
Thank you! Yes, I've started with a cold brew for now. But who knows? I might try other coffee products too! (Been experimenting with an iced cold latte recipe lately) *fingers crossed * 🤞
Cold brew is the best. IMO, in the end, it is the taste that gets me to order from one coffee place vs another. Congrats on the business. !PIZZA
Thank you! And that's so true! It's the taste that would always get me to order again from the same cafe 👌
Welcome. Looking forward to your opening day blog post. 😁😁😁
