Is Reverie Coffee Roasters’ coffee good for coffee shops?

Corner Market in Ottawa, KS, features Reverie coffee.

Reverie Coffee Roasters, first and foremost, roasts coffee for coffee shops. We operate our own coffee shops, so this is obviously a huge part of our existence. Major keys to success in operating your own coffee shop is to be able to provide your customer with a unique experience, superior customer service, all while demonstrating skill to prepare quality products. Working with great quality coffee is a huge advantage, even though your roaster isn’t in the driver seat running your business. That’s your job!

When choosing coffee roasters for your business, you have many variables to consider. Having a balanced selection of products varying in roast color (from lighter to darker) and exciting flavor profiles allows you to develop menus that will help you connect with as many of your potential customers as possible.

The foundation of most coffee shop revenue is based on espresso beverage sales. Lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, for example, will make up a large majority of your sales. The majority of these drinks will be milk-based espresso beverages (drinks containing espresso and milk). It is imperative you offer an espresso that is created to achieve superior flavor to cut through the milk, but also is consistent from roast-to-roast. Working with a stable, high-quality coffee roaster, such as Reverie, assures that the beans you order week after week allow you to be as consistent as possible. This means your espresso shots are pulling on time, the grinder is easier to manage, and you are doing your best to have the most consistent tasting drinks possible.

Changing espresso products frequently can lead to frustration by your bar staff, causing the need to conduct more research and development to dial in the coffee (the practice for testing the product and adjusting the grinder). This could certainly create variability in the flavor profile of the coffee. If you are planning to change up your espresso, please do it carefully and with intention. Great quality coffee is not accidental; it’s very much intentional.

Lastly, one great reason to partner with a local coffee roaster, such as Reverie, is to have access to all the support you need.
