    Wholesale discounting strategy

    I'm a small roaster and am in talks with my first potential commercial account. Up to this point I've been selling directly to the public and via local independent grocers. Here's the question: is there an industry standard for wholesale price breaks/incentives? E.g., after buying X amount of...

    Painfully Noobish

    I found Kenneth Davids book, "Home Coffee Roasting: Romance and Revival" actually gave me a good broad knowledge base to start with. I know it's particularly valuable in terms of roasting, but it gives an understanding of perhaps why certain coffees of certain regions typically taste the way...

    What do you like to EAT with your coffee?

    I'm a latte drinker, and I find I don't like anything too sweet or rich with my latte..it just ends up being too much. I guessthat's why I like to have biscotti or madeleines. Or a croissant. :D

    POLL: WHAT'S WRONG WITH STARBUCKS?

    I appreciate your comments unit_number_43...it's clear you know the Starbucks menu well.

But I think it...

    Anyone familiar with a psuedo-franchise Crimson Cup?

    I have heard good things about Crimson Cup though I don't have any direct experience with them. I suggest you do a search on these forums for "crimson cup" and you'll find a number of postings...I know there are some folks here who have used them and have been quite happy. You'll also find a...

    Tirra coffee maker!

    I'm glad you posted the review. I had actually seen this in a store somewhat recently, but had failed to remember the name, then couldn't find it again! I like the idea...it *is* essentially a french press, yet does seem to eliminate some of the drawbacks. Why not get both the aeropress and...

    Customized paper cups?!

    Check out all the banner ads for brandedcups.com. They're all over the trade magazines and other coffee sites. I haven't done any detailed comparison, but it seems they offer the product you're looking for.
