How to choose the right products for a coffee shop?

Have you decided to open a coffee shop? We bought all the necessary equipment, hired staff. Everything seems ready and it remains only to buy products. But wait. You do not need to immediately buy 100 different syrups and tens of kilograms of coffee. Only essential products will be needed.

Before you go to the store, read this list. It will make it easier for you to choose between the necessary products and those that can be bought later.

1. Coffee beans. Most importantly, you need to buy quality fresh coffee beans. Check that the date of roasting is mandatory. It is believed that the most fragrant grains should be fried no later than 1 month ago. They then do not deteriorate, but the coffee becomes less saturated and more empty.

2. Milk. Who doesn’t like cappuccino or milk? Therefore, buy more milk. Here the emphasis is not on fat content, but on the protein content in milk. It should be at least 3 g.

3. Sugar. They often forget about him and this is unfair. There will be many sweet tooths among your customers. Also do not forget about vanilla sugar, without which Raf will not be so tasty.

4. Dessert. Even if you work in the format "Coffee with you", you should have several items in the menu for desserts or pastries.

5. Cream and spices. Many customers love Raf, the creamiest and most delicate cream-based coffee drink. And others like strong coffee, but with the addition of cinnamon or cloves. Therefore, I strongly advise you to choose a good cream, as organic as possible, without preservatives or flavor enhancers.

6. Water. Are you professionals? And do not give the client an espresso without a glass of water? A better mineral.

7. Tea. Where there is coffee, there is tea. You will be surprised, but many people will come to you not for a cup of coffee, but for a teapot of tea. Therefore, get several types of good loose black, green and red tea.

8. Syrups and toppings. For example, Mocha is served with chocolate syrup. And lavender Rough - with the appropriate syrup. Pay attention to the season and trends. They will tell you which syrups should be purchased, and which ones to postpone for later.

This is not the whole list, but with products from it, you can already open and give people delicious coffee. Another little tip - choose milk and cream from a local producer, whose shelf life is ideally 5-7 days. They taste good and make coffee even more intense.
