What is on the menu today
"Video" Me Making ice coffees and latte art
Valentines day
Retailing Coffee
Hey everyone its my first time loading a video on 3speak, I am trying to attach it to my blog at the same time i hope it pops up i do apologies if it does not! i took the video on my iphone 6, but it seemed as if 3speak dose not read the format. So i converted the video to mp4. The video is a short collage of me make ice coffees and mixing them together. i love the way the milk mixes with the coffee and creates a cloudy milk coffee. Ice coffee videos are really satisfying to watch and i always view them on my Instagram stories. specially when the look neat and simple. I added a video as well of me doing latte art. It is just a simple pattern i did. I am still working on my swan pattern but i feel my milk jug is holding me back. I do have to get a new one as i have been using this one for 2 years since I opened my shop. So it is definitely a piece of sentimental value the shop as it has made over 4000 cups of coffee i will say.
Vanities day is around the corner and do I not have a drink for the love birds floating around the air . I decided to do a strawberry and chocolate milkshake . The strawberry I’m going to use is a puree with a beautiful chocolate sauce coating around the cup , same way as I normally make my milkshakes but this time I am going to add ice cream on the top with strawberry purée, like a little dessert on there.
Yes I have and adding the chocolate sauce around the cup gives it such a beautiful taste . It is much better and gives a definition of chocolate and strawberries . I know it sound like a I am promoting my drinks but I am always excited to bring out a new tasty drink. For this drink i am going to only release for the month of valentines day. I wanted to only do it for the week of valentines day, but i feel that would be too much of a short time period. I will definitely be sure to tell you if the strawberry and chocolate drink milkshakes was a hit or miss. Normally when i put something new on the menu it goes slowly. But then all of a Sudden it will just start to pick up.
I have been on a very very long journey through searching for a good coffee supplier. I know I want to start roasting my own coffee beans and having my own label of coffee brand but I’m going to have to work on that slowly . I have found a green bean supplier that supplies at a good price . I just do not think I have the equipment for roasting beans or able to buy a big roaster . So I have to find a roaster for now to get myself into the retail market to start selling good quality beans . The factors I look for is good beans that are well roasted , good packaging so the beans are stored well and as well good pricing so customers have a good deal on them . I have emailed a continuous amount of supplier . I am waiting for them to get back to me with what they have available. One coffee bean I know I am going to have is the Brazilian Santos medium roast . Now the thought is should I supply whole beans or grounded . I prefer whole beans as they keep their freshness for longer and not every customer has a grinder at home . So I may have to have already ground beans for them .. but I will have to do my case study on that . I am definitely looking to have grinders for sale which I think would be a good idea .
Equipment is always good to have in a business, true. But having the Right equipment can make things so much easier. trying to push 3 Grande Frapps as fast as possible to customers can be really difficult with home machine blenders. That is why its really good to invest in good industrial equipment that can take the pressure of being over used. Since i have opened up the coffee shop i have gone through two home blenders. The first one was only 800 watts, then i upgraded to 1000 watts, now i have finally managed to get my hands on a 2000 wats blender that allow me to make frapps much easier and as well put under pressure. What is awesome about industrial equipment is that if there is a problem i do not have to throw it away. The parts are easy to replace.
The industrial blender i chose was the omniblender, the specs seemed really good, it is a much affordable blender i feel for any business and really good. Next i want to get a sound proof cover for the blender to fit in. So it dose not sound like there is an airplane taking off in my coffee shop. If you have any good commercial blenders you would suggest that do the best work please do tell me in the comments so i can have a look out for them.
