hey coffee lovers! i am very very new to this forum; me and my partner are opening up a "gourmet" type of doughnut shop here in Georgia.. when i say gourmet, its different then the ones you are used to from major branded shops and branches ie. filled with fruit etc.., i am not asking what brand of coffee you prefer the best from home, i know the answer will vary much. but which brand is well known and gaining popularity with impeccable reputation that we can get from a vendor and serve at our shop.. we must be able to serve it from our shop. I want the taste to be preferred by most, and brand recognized by all. I drink home brewed coffee aka folgers, maxwell. so i am not too coffee savvy. so my question is basically: what brand name coffee have you tried at a coffee shop, doughnut shop, bakery and it was awesome? what recommendations can you guys give me? any and all help is appreciated!! thanks people!
need help with coffee brands to serve at our doughnut shop!

Hey, welcome to the forums. I have to say that if you are opening a gourmet donut biz, I think your coffee should be equally gourmet. The best thing to do is meet with a local roaster and see what they can do for you. Having something specifically roasted for you can help set your shop apart from others. Remember, the first thing people put in their mouth is coffee, give them the first impression you deserve! GO be adventurous and try a few coffees from various roasters.

Where in Georgia? I have a buddy who used to work for a roaster in Georgia. CoffeeAM - Gourmet Coffee & Tea - Roasted Fresh Daily Since 1993! give them a call...maybe you can see if they would give you a tour of their roastery.

awesome responses!
i am going to consider a local roaster now, i actually did not know there was a special market for this!! i was going to just supply coffee from a supplier and it would have been so bland.. thank you so much for this idea guys:-o.. this will definitely set us apart and our customers will have their niche choices of coffee they might not get anywhere else!

What's organo? is that slang for organic? I assume I'm wrong since I keep hearing the word organo used in a negative way
Naw, organo isn't slang for organic. Rather its a product being touted an a healthy coffee/additive that is being purchased by folks hoping to start a business by reselling on-line. I'm pretty sure the purchase of only $50 worth of product is required to resell, so we are seeing many folks buying in and then coming around touting it as the next big thing.
