Posted by innov8 on 2005-10-12 11:34:49 Post Subject: Need help starting a Coffee Shop in Guangzhou, China...
Hi there, I'm new both in this industry and in this forum.
My name is Vanda, and I am planning to open up a Coffee Shop here in Guangzhou, China. This is my first business, and I have no experience what so every. The only reason why I wanted to open up is coz I love sitting in a Coffee Shop with the aroma of coffee around and also the environment.
I need help with starting it up though. I don't know what kind of equipment is needed to start it up. I roughly know what will be on my menu...
coffee - decaf, regular, espresso
hot & cold cholocate
capuccino
any others like cakes and stuff like that I am planning to just purchase them from the nearby cake stores....the only thing that I will supply myself (in terms of food) are fruits.
I have read the threads in this forum, and everyone knows about coffee more than I do...so I need help with the equipment. I need a list of the kind of equipment so that I can start my coffee shop (P.S. I am looking at getting pre-ground coffee, so I don't need a grinder....I think). I can try to locate a supplier locally.
If possible, I know that there are different types of coffee beans (pre-ground), can anyone advice me on what the differences are and what is your recommendation.
Thank you so much for your time and your advice.

View entire thread: Coffee Bean Rankings
Posted by cuppED on 2005-07-02 20:44:28 Post Subject: Coffee Bean Rankings
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to know how you would rank the following types of coffee beans.
Brazilian
Guatamalen
Columbian
Are there any others? How would you describe each coffee bean listed above? Is there really a difference b/t the 3? I have a coffee shop that I normally go to but they use columbian, but my brother found a place that has brazillian and guatamalen, and I wanted to know if it's worth going there. Thanks.

Posted by Coffee_MAster on 2007-05-29 21:10:37 Post Subject: Coffee: Is It Getting Too Complicated?
Plain coffee is fast becoming a thing of the past. It''s now quite simple to whip up a gourmet hot beverage for guest, family, or just for yourself. Nowadays there are a number of coffee clubs and circles in which coffee drinking has become somewhat of a social club. These social clubs meet in the community or on the Internet.
Where did the good old days go where you could get just a regular, good cup of coffee all across America.
It''s all because there is a big craze over coffee these days. People are almost worshipping the coffee bean now. People get a thrill out of ordering and buying special coffees from specialty stores. They really like grinding their own coffee beans. They like visiting places such as Costa Rica and bringing back their special blends. And \"coffee tasting\" seems to be about as popular as \"wine tasting\".
They even have furniture and home interior designs with a coffee theme. This would make great gifts for the coffee buff.
Coffee got its beginnings around 900 A.D. where it was at first used as a stimulant. It was also at times used as a wine and a medicine. It doesn''t look like anything is much different today.
There are not many products such as coffee that have continued \"as is\" for hundreds of years. And yet people are still scrutinizing and getting creative with it today and probably will be for years to come.
What is also interesting is that coffee is second to oil in dollar volume as a world commodity.
Did you know that there is two times more caffeine in a pound of tea than in the same amount of roasted coffee? This may be good news for those of you who hate the taste of decaffeinated coffee however wait just one moment. A pound of tea will make about 160 cups whereas a pound of coffee will usually make about 40 cups. This means that a cup of tea has about 1/4th the caffeine of a cup of coffee.
The content of caffeine in coffee decreases as it is grown at higher altitudes. If you want less caffeine in your coffee, grow it higher. Gourmet coffees are typically grown at higher altitudes so they have less caffeine than their grocery store counterparts.
There are many different types of coffee beans and way too many to describe in this article. Here are just a few of them:
You have Latte, Espresso, Low-Fat, Organic, Cal, Decaf, Half-Decaf, Black Forest, Cappuccino, Cafe au Lait, Alpine which has brown sugar, Arabian (lightly spiced and without filter), Cafe con Miel (Spanish for coffee with honey), and Cafe de Olla (a sweet coffee made with chocolate).
And you really should attend a coffee tasting at least once. You will get to experience how making and brewing gourmet coffee is slowly becoming a form of art. What is fun about the coffee tasting is that you could get a chance to taste two dozen or more different blends. You may even leave to start your journey as a coffee connoisseur. Any way you look at it, the tasting experience will be fun if you like coffee.

Thanks for the input. I ended up buying the Capresso Infinity and I love it. My problem is cleaning it internally, especially between different types of coffee beans. I read online to use grind some rice. Any cleaning advice?
