Bill Konstantinidis’ Post

Echoing Bill Konstantinidis' comments, it’s fascinating to see the breakdown of input costs for a takeaway coffee. With less than 33% of the costs being directly variable (the actual coffee and the cup), the number of cups a café can serve and what they can charge becomes critical for the cafe owner. Thanks for sharing, Bill! Really interesting. #smallbusiness #australianbusiness #serviceindustry

Decoding types of coffee: Overview of major coffee brews ☕🔍 Do you know what type of coffee beans are in your cup? 🔍☕ It's likely they are either Arabica or Robusta. Arabica beans are grown in high altitudes and have a sweet taste with less caffeine. Brazil is the largest producer of Arabica beans Robusta beans are grown in lower altitudes and have a stronger taste with less sweetness. Vietnam is the largest producer of Robusta beans. India grows both types of beans in green color, which are then roasted to make different types of coffee. There are four major types of coffee in the world, each with their own unique processing method. 1) Spray dried coffee, heated at high temperatures like 250-260°C and it easy to process but loses aroma. It is easy for Capex but cleaning cost slightly hurt the margins. 2) Agglomerated coffee, formed from small granules, is a result of further drying of spray dried coffee. 3) Freeze dried coffee, the most premium type, requires a cold room as low as -50°C and retains its aroma. The margins are high📈 Nestle gold is the example of Freeze dried coffee 4) Freeze concentrated liquid coffee is processed at sub-zero temperatures with a closed system that prevents contact between vapor & liquid , ensuring no loss of aroma. Countries like USA are showing a strong trend in this category. Next time you analyze the coffee industry, it'll be easy to understand and as well know the type before adding it to the cart.

Did you know that coffee is one of the three most popular beverages in the world (alongside water and tea) and one of the most profitable international commodities. In addition, there are so many ways of drinking coffee! Some like it black, some others prefer cappuccino, and some like espresso, or Latte. A simple cup of drip coffee with milk and sugar is the norm in the US, although coffee is served in more ways than you can imagine all over the world. In Portugal, for example, people often drink Mazagran, an iced coffee beverage with lemon juice. Café de Olla, coffee simmered with a cinnamon stick, is a favorite in Mexico. So many options and most people take their coffee preference very seriously. Like coffee, people have very specific views and wants on how they live their life when they will not be able to do so on their own. And every person is different.

Coffee Consumption in Germany: Coffee Country No. 10! ☕️🌟 In today's world of coffee indulgence, there's one number that truly caught us off guard. Do you know how much coffee an average German drinks per day? We had to read it twice and really break it down. In 2023, per capita coffee consumption in Germany totaled around 167 liters. That's an average of 3.2 liters per week or about 0.5 liters of coffee per day! But how many cups is that, really? Think about it: 365 days a year, all day long. That adds up to an average consumption of 4.8 kg of coffee beans per person per year. And here's the surprise: Germany only ranked 10th in the 2023 ranking of per capita coffee consumption in selected countries worldwide! Coffee isn't just a beverage; it's a lifestyle. So let's start thinking about where the coffee beans we consume come from! Let's appreciate our daily coffee and value it with fairness in the whole value chain. Are you ready to follow our journey?

Wake up and smell the coffee. Literally. Because that's probably what we can only afford, given the rising cost of coffee beans worldwide. Having our daily fix will likely cost more next year, due to global shortage, rising demand and poor harvests caused largely by - no surprises here - climate change. Some local F&B operators I have spoken to, lament the price increase by up to a staggering 300% for premium Arabica beans. Robusta beans which are mostly used in our local coffee (aka kopi) and some brands of instant coffee, have seen prices increase by 40% - 70% globally. #coffee #foodandbeverage #retailnews #fnb #foodindustry #retailasia #retail #foodbusiness Caffeine high: How expensive can your cup of kopi get? https://lnkd.in/gmtSXmTx

Survey on Coffee (2024) This time our survey on coffee consumption revealed that 40% of people often drink commercially available coffee, with instant coffee being the top choice at home (41.7%). Carton-packed coffee is valued for its low price and convenience but has storage issues. Bottled coffee is favored for its ease of drink and storage. If prices rise, 43.5% would continue drinking coffee, 26.3% would reduce their intake, and 3.9% would switch to alternatives. Additionally, 32.2% are interested in trying alternative coffees, such as soybean, dandelion, and brown rice coffee.

This stat blows my mind every time 🤯: according to Euromonitor International, 30.6 billion cups of tea were drunk in the UK in 2023. That is a lot of tea 😳 It's a drink that's so engrained in our national psyche and culture and, as a result, it's a highly emotive subject. But, there is a distinct lack of quality across the board. Tea has become an incredibly commoditised product with low grade 'dust' dominating our supermarket aisles. Over the last 20 years, we’ve seen the rise in the specialty coffee driven by independent coffee shop culture, operators like Ozone Coffee and WatchHouse, and roasters like Union Hand-Roasted Coffee and Origin Coffee. We are seeing premiumisation in other categories too. Brands like Bold Bean Co | B Corp™ and ManiLife | B Corp™ showcasing amazing flavour through quality ingredients. We are now really starting to see the same trend gain momentum in tea, especially in an out of home context. Our mission here at Good & Proper Tea | B Corp™ is to show the world how good tea can be when it's done properly. Tea is a wonderfully diverse product with a huge amount of depth, when it’s done right. So if you have a local coffee shop that you feel needs to up their tea game, then let us know 👇
