Barista Theory
Creating a perfect cup of coffee is a process...
It starts with top quality coffee beans, perfectly roasted.
The beans must be evenly ground, to a perfect consistency.
The grounds must be tamped, to the correct density.
Water must be introduced at the correct temperature, pressure, and rate of flow.
Milk specialities must be perfectly frothed and heated.
Presentation must enhance the drink and demonstrate the care taken in preparation.
Everything MELITTA do is steeped in respect for this process. The result is exceptional coffee that delivers on every level - appearance, aroma, flavour, body and finish.
Machine Technology
Precision engineered by one devoted engineer...
Each step of the process is examined in minute detail and recreated with the latest technology for an incredibly high quality range of coffee specialities.
All MELITTA machines are hand built by a single skilled technician. Every individual component is assessed for performance and longevity.
MELITTA systems manage every aspect of the business of coffee, from product quality, consistency and presentation, to user interfaces, management information and exceptional hygiene standards.
The Business of Coffee
Maximise your revenue...
Coffee is a high-margin product, yet many businesses aren’t taking a structured approach to maximising the potential of this valuable revenue stream. Product quality is paramount. Presentation is also vital, increasing perceived value and contributing to an improved selling price. Repeat business and brand recognition grow from consistent quality. Consistency builds consumer loyalty, forms habits and lays the foundations for regular turnover.
As with any revenue stream, profit margin must be maximised. Staff wage costs must be controlled. Training should be straightforward and facilitate a consistent, quality product in an efficient timescale – quality is even more essential during busy periods. Coffee offers superb “upselling” opportunities which can be maximised with a structured approach.
