Name change – we become Limini Coffee

liminicoffee — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 12:04:15 +0000

We have to change our name!

From Monday we will be called Limini Coffee.

Even though we have to change the name we look forward to it. It is a fresh start with a new name. This goes quite well with our brand new barista training centre and of course the joining of Howard as well. We strive to run an even better company with better coffee and better services.

Our new accounting software improves on orders and statements etc and the new phone system will mean improvement as well. All is good!

Limini Coffee will stand for the same principles:

Excellent customer service
Outstanding coffee
First class barista training

Note that the company doesn’t change or anything. We are still the same people with the same coffee. Just a name change.

Wow! Our training centre has opened. We opened the doors yesterday and Howard has just finished teaching the How to start a coffee shop course.
We have so much space now. So many brewing methods. So many coffees! It is fantastic and we are really enjoying it.
All our machines are now connected to a very good water filtration system and the coffee is tasting even better.
Anybody who wants to come over for a coffee… Drop us a line.

Besides the new training centre we also have a new office. This includes new accounting software which will make life better for everybody and we have improved on our phone system as well.

The training centre is also available for events so if you need a venture for your coffee event please do get in touch.

Hope to see you soon.

What is the hardest?

liminicoffee — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:38:00 +0000

Running a coffee shop is fun, but it also hard work! Some do it for a life stye and enjoy the socialising, cooking and of course serving great coffee. Others do it to have a vibrant, busy and exciting business. Owning one or multiple coffee shops is a dream of many people…

What is however the hardest thing when you run a coffee shop? Or what would you expect to be the hardest thing?

Please let us know…

New Guest Coffee

liminicoffee — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 07:04:08 +0000

What a great way to start the morning. Just made a delicious cappuccino with our new Guest Coffee. We mixed Brazil with Ethiopia once again and added a small amount of our new coffee from Rwanda. Roasted medium. Very tasty and certainly a bit different then you normally get from us.

We’ll see how it develops over the next few weeks but the first coffees I have had from it have been very interesting.

The Guest Coffees are flying out. More and more customers are now offering Guest Coffees to entertain their customers and it is becoming a big success. We are roasting lots of them and it is exciting to see this. If you would like some more info on how to go about with this please do get in touch.

Start the morning with a delicious coffee

Barista? Coffee? Machine? What is the deciding factor…

liminicoffee — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 17:36:27 +0000

We have just come back from Brugge which is absolutely lovely. There was a coffee shop we went into and they had a £5000 – 2 group espresso machine, a decent grinder and £20 a kg coffee. The kit was definitely there. I am not a big fan of that coffee but it can be good if made correctly…

I ordered a double espresso and a double dose was loaded and the correct button was pressed. All good so far. Then she looked at the cup and got a bit uncomfortable at the amount in the cup. Guess it was too little? So she pressed the double button again! This just totally ruined my £2.50 double espresso. It was so dissapointing. (my fault here is not complaining but that is my weakness!)

She was absolutely lovely and we had a nice chat about Brugge. Certainly not her to blame I think, just the training.If only she knew what she was doing… I probably would have bought another 3 coffees. It was just such a shame.

If you ask me the question about what is most important then the order shoud be:

1) barista/ training

2) coffee

3) equipment

Most of the time though people will look for equipment first! Not last. If you start a coffee shop then please look for decent training first. Then go and search for a coffee that you are happy with and then decide on equipment.
