The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „This is why a ritual is not only a gesture of hospitality and reassurance, but a celebration of a break in routine, a moment when the human drive for survival lets up and people can simply be together. This last aspect is to me the fundamental meaning of the coffee break, the coffee klatch, the happy hour, and the after-dinner coffee. These are secular rituals that, in unobtrusive but essential ways, help maintain humanness in ourselves and with one another.“

Tea & Coffee 08/00 - Private Label in the Year 2000 (cont.)

  „Gaviña’s comments lead to the question whether the foodservice industry does not bear actual antipathy toward coffee and whether, despite the lower cost of coffee, foodservice managers and executives would prefer that it wasn’t on their menus at all. The labor component of coffee is much higher than for any other beverage and the labor variable also means that coffee can never be as consistent as fountain or bottled beverages. Coffee is a management problem and an annoyance from the foodservice management perspective and the consistent abuse it is subject to at the hands of the restaurant industry couldn’t be a more effective way of discouraging consumption. For proof, just order a cup of coffee at the average restaurant-even one charging $25 and up for entrees!“

Tea & Coffee 12/01 - Fast Food Opportunities for Specialty Coffee

  „Greg Pittler, a franchise consultant with long experience in the foodservice industry made some general observations about the overall momentum of the industry, “The QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) industry will continue to increase focus on higher-quality coffees. With Starbucks expanding their menu to offer convenient meals, fast-food restaurants will need to focus on offering a high-quality cup of java to offer their customers “one stop shopping, along with being quick and convenient.” With the focus on customer service higher than ever before, for chain restaurants, good coffee versus bad coffee can define the entire dining experience.”“
