Success in Recycling Waste Coffee Grounds

A coffee shop chain that has been successfully recycling the coffee grounds from their Greater London stores is looking to expand the scheme further. Cafe Nero has been working in partnership with recycling company First Mile and technology company Bio-Bean to improve their recycling since July 2016. They expect to have recycled 218 tonnes of coffee grounds when they reach the first anniversary of the partnership in July 2017.

Coffee Grounds to Bio fuel Bio-Bean, a bio fuel technology company started by Arthur Kay in 2013, takes waste coffee grounds and processes them into various bio fuels. The left-over grounds are compressed into biomass pellets for biomass burners, or ‘coffee logs’, which can be burned just like normal wood. The company are also considering the possibilities of extracting biochemicals from coffee grounds, and have carried out intensive research into methods for extracting the oils from coffee grounds to process into biodiesel. The coffee grounds from the shops are collected by First Mile each evening, who provide special recycling sacks for the coffee grounds to be collected in. Also Checkout: Wholesale Coffee Bean Suppliers UK A Growing Concern The large chain Costa also announced that it was entering a partnership with Bio-Bean in December 2016. They expect to be recycling 3000 tonnes of waste coffee grounds from 800 stores across the United Kingdom in the scheme. Recycling has become increasingly important to many coffee shops, particularly after they were specifically targeted by Hugh Fearnley-Whitting stall in his Hugh’s War on Waste programme last year. The programme was scathing about paper coffee cups and their extensive use, and in light of this, many coffee shops now have recycling bins for their paper cups. Cafe Nero has also worked to improve its recycling strategies in general. Last year the company recycled over 154,000 kilogrammes of cardboard from its London stores alone, a staggering amount. With the ever-increasing popularity of coffee shops, perhaps in the not too distant future, we will be running our cars and heating our homes on the waste products from our daily cup of coffee.

The 5 Things You Should Never Order in a Coffee Shop

Worldwide, coffee is the most popular beverage, and in the United Kingdom, we drink nearly fifty-five million cups of it every day. Given its popularity, it comes as no surprise that the range of different coffees available in most coffee shops his enormous and, occasionally bewildering.

Never Order in a Coffee Shop However, according to baristas, there are five things you should NEVER order! 1: The Extra Hot Americano We all know that ‘proper’ coffee should be made with water just off the boil, or you lose some of the aroma and flavour, so why on earth would we want to make it ‘extra hot’? It will take longer to reach a drinkable temperature too! 2: ‘Bone dry’ Cappuccino Hang on, coffee is a drink, so it kind of has to be wet, right? Well, it turns out that a ‘bone dry’ cappuccino is just a cappuccino with the steamed milk left out. So an espresso with some foam on it. This might actually be okay, but according to the barista, it is a pain to make and ‘not even really a beverage’. Probably not going to be worth the cost really. 3: A Skimmed Soy Latte The problem with this one is there is no such thing as skimmed soy milk. Since it is naturally already low in fat, there wouldn’t really be much point in making a low-fat version. And as a note of caution, ordering this might mean you end up with a latte made from half skimmed milk and half soy milk – not ideal if you can’t have cow’s milk. 4: An Almond Milk Cappuccino As deliciously nutty as almond milk is, unfortunately it will just not form a froth like cow’s milk does; it just thickens up a bit. Which means you simply cannot make a proper cappuccino with it. 5: Anything Off The ‘Secret Menu’ The ‘secret menu’ trend works quite well in some restaurants, but really if that ‘secret coffee’ were so good would it not be on the normal menu?

Would You Like a Whisky-Flavoured Coffee?

When it comes to delicious coffee flavours, there are certainly plenty to choose from, with coffee shops around the UK providing speciality coffees for customers. Choices such as caramel, hazelnut, mint, and gingerbread have become especially popular in recent times, but now customers will be able to purchase a new flavour that is bound to delight those who love their coffee and their whisky.

Bourbon Coffee Jack Daniel’s is releasing a new whisky-flavoured coffee for those who love both drinks. The company’s website has described the new product as one hundred per cent Arabica coffee infused with the famous Tennessee bourbon. And for those who are worried that drinking this coffee in the morning could put them over the legal driving limit, there is no need to fret as the coffee is alcohol-free. With Jack Daniels’ traditional vanilla and caramel flavours, this new whisky should prove popular with many people.

How They Drink Coffee in Vietnam

As a change from a latte or cappuccino, how about trying your coffee with egg, butter and cheese! This is how coffee is served in the famous Giang Cafe in Vietnam’s capital Hanoi. Hidden down a small alley in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, the cafe’s menu lists a selection of beverages, but the tourists and locals who have hunted it out are all there for the cà phê trúng, or egg coffee.

Born of Necessity The unusual drink, available in both hot and cold versions, was invented in 1946 by the father of the cafe’s current owner, Nguyen Van Dao. He was working in the Sofitel Metropole hotel in the city, but milk was scarce in Vietnam at the time, so he used whisked egg yolk as a substitute, and egg coffee was born. Other cafes in Hanoi have tried to imitate the secret recipe, which also contains butter, cheese and condensed milk as well as coffee powder, but Giang Café’s authentic and closely guarded recipe is still the most popular – and the cafe is always busy. What Does It Taste Like? The hot version, served with the cup sitting in a bowl of hot water to help keep it warm, is thick, like custard, and may need to be eaten with a spoon rather than drunk. Very sweet, the coffee is at the bottom of the cup, while the whisked egg mixture, reportedly tasting of vanilla, sits on top. The cold version, served with lots of ice, is again very sweet and said to taste rather like coffee ice cream, probably not unlike the frappes we enjoy on hot summer days. Recipes for this unusual coffee can be found online, but for the truly authentic version, you will have to take a trip to Vietnam. The Original article Published at Good Cup Coffee Blog

Why Coffee Shops Are Increasing in Popularity on British High Streets

Today, more and more people are choosing to meet for a nice cup of coffee rather than a pint of beer or glass of wine. Furthermore, recent figures are indicated that while coffee shops are on the increase across the country, the number of bars, nightclubs and pubs on the British high street has fallen.

Increase in Coffee Shops However, despite the number of coffee shops, cafes and fast food restaurants increasing by around 6,000 across Scotland, Wales and England between 2011 and 2016, there are still far more pubs in British town centres than coffee shops. The figures were collated by the Local Data Company and did not include Northern Ireland. They were collected by individuals who walked up and down high streets around mainland UK. These figures showed the biggest increase in leisure businesses in areas such as Wales, the West Midlands, Yorkshire, and the Humber. This contrasted with Greater London where there was a 0.3 per cent decrease. Leisure Businesses Among the businesses that saw the biggest increases were lounge bars, cake makers, juice bars and coffee shops. There were falls, however, in the number of snooker halls, comedy clubs, bingo halls and internet cafes. The rise in the number of coffee shops on the high street has a lot to do with American shows such as Seinfeld and Friends, according to Professor Jonathan Morris of the University of Hertfordshire. Professor Morris is a historian who has studied the popularity of the coffee shop. He believes that the culture of coffee shops in the UK began during the nineties when the aforementioned shows were popular. He said, “People socialise during the day or after work rather than evenings now. Places like snooker and bingo halls take a bigger chunk of time while meeting for coffee doesn’t take long.To halt the decline, pubs needs to develop their daytime offer.” The Original article Published at Good Cup Coffee Blog

Tips for Buying a Coffee Machine

There is no doubting the fact that coffee shops have risen in popularity in recent years. Hot coffee-based drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, espressos and mochas are available from various coffee shops, but they don’t come cheap. This is one of the reasons many people are now opting to invest in their own coffee machine so that they can enjoy their favourite beverage without leaving the house. But what should you be looking for in a coffee machine? Below are a few tips.

1. It is important to think about the type of coffee you enjoy before investing in a machine. For example, if you like to have your coffee without milk, there is no point in spending a small fortune on a machine that makes fancy drinks such as cappuccinos. A drip coffee maker may be the best choice for you. 2. If you want something that is quick and convenient, you may want to consider a pod coffee maker. With this device, sealed pods are placed in the machine through which boiling water passes. This type of coffee maker requires little effort, and many different kinds of pod can be purchased, depending on the kind of coffee you enjoy. 3. If you want a coffee similar to those that can be purchased in your local coffee shop, then look for an espresso/cappuccino maker that comes with a milk frother. This will allow you to make lattes, mochas and cappuccinos to your heart’s content. 4. Set a budget that you want to stick to because coffee machines do vary dramatically in price. Think about the features you want from your machine and then look for one that meets your budget. Reviews can be a great way to get an idea of what others think. Once you have found a coffee machine that will suit your needs and preferences, you will need to invest in some good quality coffee. This is where Good Cup Coffee Company can help. We have a range of delicious blends for you to choose from, and all at competitive prices. Check out our selection today. The Original article Published at Good Cup Coffee Blog

Mum and Son Team Open a Coffee Shop for Dogs in Warwick

The coffee shop is a place where people go to grab their favourite drink before work or to meet friends to have a chat over a delicious cake and a mouth-watering cup of rich roasted coffee. But a new type of coffee shop has opened in Warwick – and this one caters to dogs (and their owners)!

Coffee Shop for Canines Chiens et Café was the brainchild of a mother and son team who decided to set up a coffee shop for canines in Smith Street in Warwick. Tanya and Dan Pare have created a menu designed to tantalise the taste buds of dogs;it includes dog-friendly chilli, roast dinners, shepherd’s pie and sharing platters. Dog owners will not be left to watch their beloved dogs munch while they starve, however, as Chiens et Café will also cater tohuman customers with a range of beverages including coffee and tea as well as home-baked cakes. Much Needed Service Tanya, who previously worked at Warwick Hospital and who left her job in order to open the café with son Dan, said, “We decided to open the coffee shop because we realised locally there are very few places which welcome dogs and provide a service for them. The only real places that welcome dogs can be pubs, but as some people don’t like them, it can make for a very stressful experience.If you are in a coffee shop specifically for them, then everyone knows what to expect. We want people to totally relax, and we think that if people know it’s a coffee shop for dogs, then that’s what they’ll do.” Innovative Idea With dog and coffee lovers everywhere, this innovative idea has really taken off, with Dan saying, “We’ve never done anything like this before, it’s totally new, exciting and actually even scary. We’re hoping everyone will love it; the reaction has been overwhelming. Everyone seems to love the idea. We’ve wanted to open it for a while and the idea, which started as a shop, just seemed to grow. Now it’s a full-on dog coffee shop with everything catered for the dogs. It’s very much a family venture.” The Original article Published at Good Cup Coffee Blog

Coffee Meeting with Ivanka Trump Costing $50,000!

There is no doubting the power of a coffee meeting in terms of business because it is informal and encourages people to converse with one another. Here at Good Cup Coffee Company, we also know that a delicious cup of coffee can provide an energy boost and can improve mood, therefore making all parties at the meeting more inclined to reach a positive conclusion.

Expensive Coffee While we acknowledge the benefit of a coffee meeting, we are not sure if Ivanka Trump’s meet and greet coffee meeting is one that most people could justify. Although for a good cause, the meet and greet is set to cost two potential donors $50,000 for a forty-five-minute meeting with Donald Trump’s daughter and executive vice president of The Trump Organisation. The money raised will be donated to her brother’s charity, the Eric Trump Foundation. Terms and Conditions And it would appear that not just anyone with this large sum of money to spare will be able to take up the prize.Several terms and conditions must be met before any individual can have a sit-down and delicious coffee with President-Elect Trump’s daughter. Those who are lucky enough to get the chance to meet Ivanka will have to first be approved by the Secret Service and must also pass criminal background checks. And the meeting will only take place in Washington DC or New York, meaning travel arrangements may have to be made. Further conditions stipulate that individuals must act appropriately and show respect and ‘polite manners’ during the meet and greet. One thing is for sure, whoever does nab this prize will remember it as being the most expensive coffee they have ever had! The Original article Published at Good Cup Coffee Blog

Can Coffee Help Prevent Cancer?

Here at Good Cup Coffee Company, we know the benefits of a good cup of coffee in terms of providing a much-needed boost during the day or to help you relax after a stressful morning at work. But did you know that your favourite beverage could actually help to prevent certain cancer?

Reducing Risk of Liver Cancer New scientific research has found that coffee drinkers could see their risk of developing liver cancer reduced. And there is the suggestion that the more coffee drunk, the greater the benefits, which will have most coffee lovers rejoicing. Both men and women will benefit from increasing the amount of coffee that they drink, according to the research. Effect on the Liver The report states: “The effect of coffee intake on cancer risk has been a topic of considerable interest, because coffee is the second most popular beverage worldwide, ranking behind tea only. Coffee contains large amounts of compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic properties such as caffeine, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and polyphenols, as well as diterpenes and other antioxidants were found in that beverage.” Preventable Deaths Every year in the UK, around 5,550 people are diagnosed with liver cancer and around 5,000 people will die from the disease annually. Shockingly, approximately forty-two per cent of liver cancer cases could be prevented. Research published by the British Liver Trust in June 2016 also found that drinking coffee can reduce the development of other liver problems such as cirrhosis and fibrosis. Executive Director of the British Coffee Association, Chris Stemman, said, “In the UK, we drink 55 million cups of coffee a day. Britain has a growing love affair with coffee, so these findings are important because, amongst other health areas that have been studied, they further show how moderate coffee consumption of around four or five cups per day can be part of a healthy, balanced diet.” Wholesale Coffee If you ever needed an excuse to stock up on your coffee supplies, this must be it.

What You Never Knew About Coffee

Most people associate their morning cup of coffee with giving them that boost they need to face the day, particularly on Monday to Friday when they have to head to the office. However, there are just so many fascinating things that you may not know about this delicious beverage.

For example, were you aware that not only is coffee delicious, it may also be good for your health? There have been many studies conducted into the health benefits of coffee, with many results indicating that it could be good for the liver and may reduce the risk of heart attacks and certain cancers. In addition to this one, there may be many more facts that you simply did not know about coffee: 1. Coffee can help you to burn fat,with studies showing that it can help to increase metabolism by up to 11%. 2. Coffee is full of antioxidants that are said to prevent premature ageing and can contribute to protecting your skin against the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays. 3. Drinking a cup of coffee at the very early stage of a headache could help to prevent it from developing into a migraine. 4. Around 1.6 billion cups of coffee are consumed around the world every single day! 5. Elephants regularly eat the coffee fruit that contains the coffee beans. This means that the beans can be found ready hulled in the elephant dung (and some varieties of coffee actually use these beans)! 6. Coffee is a great drink for those on a diet – provided you have it black. One cup of coffee has around two calories. However, once you start adding milk, sugar and flavourings, those calories start to creep up very quickly. 7. If you need a quick boost, a cup of coffee is the ideal option as it takes just ten minutes to start feeling the effects of the caffeine. This article originally published at Good Cup Coffee Blog

Is Your Morning Coffee About to Become More Affordable?

Those who love their morning coffee before work could be spending a small fortune on their favourite brew. With the average cup of coffee costing £2.45, this could mount up to more than £600 annually for those who buy a cup Monday to Friday. However, big coffee chains are about to get a shock with easyCoffee about to roll out another 200 of their £1 coffee shops.

The company, which was founded by EasyJet owner Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou in early 2016, currently has two shops – one in Essex and one in London. The budget coffee shop is now planning a massive expansion to compete with the likes of Costa and Starbucks. Franchise Agreements Over the next six months, there are set to be another twelve easyCoffee shops opening up around the country including in High Wycombe, Wembley, and Croydon. However, until franchise agreements have been signed off, the locations of the rest of the 200 shops will not be confirmed. It is expected the chain will begin appearing on high streets around the UK. Gap in the Market According to Nathan Lowry who has licenced the ‘easy’ brand from Sir Stelios, “The gap in the market is in pricing. The coffee is great. We use the same machines that all the big guys use; all our staff are highly trained up to barista level. We genuinely feel that people are paying too much for their coffee in the UK. Nick Patterson-Jones, branding director for easyCoffee, said that the £1 price for a cup of coffee would provide ‘value for money’ for customers. Delicious Coffee Away from the high street ‘coffee wars’, if you are looking for delicious coffee at an affordable price, look no further than Good Cup Coffee Company. We sell a range of delicious, aromatic blends at wholesale prices that you and your customers will love. This article originally published at Good Cup Coffee Blog

How Coffee Beans are Harvested

When drinking your favourite coffee each morning, do you ever wonder how it is made? You probably know that it comes from coffee beans and that there are many different varieties to choose from, but do you know what the process of harvesting coffee entails?

Harvesting Methods Coffee beans are harvested during the dry season every year, and there are a couple of methods for doing this. When coffee cherries are bright red and glossy, it means that they are ripe for picking, but not all beans ripen at the same time. In order to avoid picking unripe coffee fruit, it is preferable to harvest by hand. Although this method is time-consuming, it does prevent waste as the harvesters will spend all day picking only ripe fruit and leaving the unripe fruit on the tree until it is ready to be picked. The alternative method is known as strip harvesting; this process involves a machine removing all fruit from the tree whether it is ripe or not. Best Harvesting Method As with everything, there are pros and cons to each method of coffee harvesting. With selective harvesting, there is a greater yield of ripe fruit,which means that the coffee producer can demand higher prices. There is also a greater scope for planting trees on sloped surfaces because the fruit is picked by hand. However, the process of picking the fruit can be slow, and it requires a labour force willing to work for low pay. Strip harvesting is much quicker, but extra work is needed after stripping to separate fruit. So next time you are sipping on your favourite brew, spare a thought for the coffee harvesters who are hard at work stripping coffee fruit from trees so that you can enjoy your delicious blend of aromatic coffee.

Extras You Can Try Adding to Your Everyday Coffee

While many of us are entirely content with a basic instant or drip coffee, possibly with milk and sugar, there are plenty of different things you can add to your coffee to enhance the taste. From common additions like cream to surprising ingredients like vanilla extract; it’s worth giving some of these a try if you’re looking to try something new.

Some additions to your coffee can even enhance health or reduce the number of calories you take in with each cup, making these ingredients worth exploring. Below we’ll take a look at some of these extras you can add to your coffee in a cafe, or at home. CLASSIC CREAM Just about everyone knows that cream is classically added to coffees such as cappuccinos in many cafes. It’s a popular addition because the sweetness of the cream contrasts well with the bitterness of the coffee, it’s also popular because chocolate powders and such can be easily sprinkled on top. The next time you’re visiting your local cafe for a delicious coffee, try asking for some cream if you haven’t tried it before. We’re betting you’ll love the taste! TRY CINNAMON While it’s less common, some people like to add cinnamon to their coffee to add a new dimension of flavour. It also makes a great sugar substitute, so it can be perfect to add to your coffee if your goal is to lose weight, you’d be surprised how many calories you drink up through sugar. There are also health benefits associated with consuming cinnamon, which further adds to its usefulness as a sugar substitute. One great health benefit of cinnamon includes a stronger immune system. FIND SOME VANILLA EXTRACT Just like cinnamon, vanilla extract can be a fantastic alternative to sugar, allowing you to enjoy a sweet vanilla-tasting coffee, without the calorie-rich sugar affecting your diet. Apart from the reduction in calories, the main advantage of using this ingredient is purely because of the new vanilla taste, with or without sugar it can make a nice coffee taste even nicer. Most people have vanilla extract lying around for making cakes and other sweet foods, so why not fish it out of the cupboard and try it in your next coffee? ADD A LITTLE COCONUT MILK For those of you who want to enjoy a white coffee without any dairy products, try adding some coconut milk instead. Naturally, it’s also a fantastic idea if you’re a fan of the taste of coconut which tends to go well with coffee. Coconut milk is often used in dishes such as curries, so if you have some left over from making a meal, add some to your coffee and give it a try; you just might find that you prefer it over your usual milk. TRY ADDING SOME EXTRAS TO YOUR NEXT COFFEE SOON The fun part of adding these extras to your coffees is finding some really delicious combinations to use when you fancy a little change now and again. We recommend trying each of the above ingredients in your coffee, then combining some of them for a new flavour if you’re feeling adventurous. Good Cup Coffee Company hopes you find some really delicious combinations of ingredients to add to your coffee, there are thousands of combinations out there waiting to be tasted.

Essential Coffee Accessories for Cafes

It doesn’t matter if you’re a small local cafe who has been serving the area for years, or if you’re part of a large franchise selling coffee to thousands of customers, having the right equipment and supplies is what makes the real difference in customer satisfaction. One of the most significant factors in providing a quality coffee and service to your customers is having the right equipment and accessories at hand, from specialised mugs to a range of tasty syrups. Not only does this allow the customer more choice and options when they enter your establishment, it also gives them the impression that your cafe goes the extra mile to ensure they enjoy their time in your cafe.

By finding a well-established coffee supplier that also provides high-quality coffee accessories, you can begin to increase customer satisfaction, as well as the number of customers you’ll receive from positive word-of-mouth. Below you’ll see some of the essential coffee accessories we believe every cafe should have. Specialised Coffee Mugs You’re not really getting the authentic coffee experience if you are drinking espressos, cappuccinos and americanos from the same types of mug in a cafe. Each of these coffees were made to be drank from specific types of mug to match their quantity, consistency, and appearance. If you’re not serving cappuccinos in cappuccino mugs, then you are not offering customers the genuine Italian coffee experience. This may not sound like an important factor, however, you would be surprised how much a quality mug increases customers’ satisfaction with their coffee purchase. Consider ordering a range of specialised mugs to suit your different types of coffee from a trusted coffee accessory supplier. A Range of Syrup Flavours It’s no secret that customers like to have options and variety, especially when it comes to their coffee. Stocking up on a range of tasty syrups is a great way to give them this variety. It’s also not uncommon for a cappuccino-lover to want to try a little vanilla or hazelnut syrup in their hot beverage now and again, those customers will remember who offered them this delicious little extra. It’s certainly an area worth investing in as it isn’t expensive to bring this dimension of variety to your cafe. Biodegradable Takeaway Cups Many who frequent cafes are those on their daily commute to work who need a delicious coffee to start their day off. The modem world is a busy place and often times people want their coffee to-go, that’s why every effective cafe should stock takeaway cups. Not just plastic takeaway cups though, cafes should make the pledge to only use biodegradable cups which will prevent irreversible damage to the environment. Not only will this do the Earth a whole lot of good, customers will also realise that you’re playing your part for the environment and this may be what influences their decision to keep returning. It’s a win-win really. Choose a Well-Established Coffee Accessories Supplier The Good Cup Coffee Company doesn’t just supply businesses of all sizes and types with just delicious coffee beans, we also provide essential coffee accessories that every establishment should have.

Always choose a coffee supplier that is known for its great customer service, as well as those who have a real passion for what they do. Highest Quality Coffee Beans The products themselves need to be of the highest quality to be worth ordering, that’s why well-established coffee suppliers only offer coffee beans and accessories of the finest quality you can buy in the UK. Suppliers who sell lower-quality coffee also often don’t offer ethical fair trade coffee supplies which means there’s no option for people who want to make sure coffee bean farmers get a fair deal. We urge you to only buy from known coffee suppliers who offer the highest quality coffee with the hard-working coffee farmers in mind. Value for Money Coffee It’s not just the amazing quality of the coffee that matters, it’s also about getting a really good deal. Well-established coffee suppliers will be able to offer their clients the best prices on the market so your establishment can provide coffee to customers at a fair price. You’re paying for quality when it comes to coffee supplies, but that certainly doesn’t mean it has to break the bank. Fast & Cheap Delivery Delivery is very important if you’re ordering from a coffee supplier as your supplies absolutely need to arrive on time in top-condition. A good coffee supplier will also often offer free delivery to loyal clients who order over a certain amount of supplies, so watch out for some great deals on their websites! Get your first-class coffee supplies delivered to you in perfect condition in a matter of days, order from a well-known and professional coffee supplier who has your needs in mind.
