Salon coffee has one job: make the client feel looked after while they wait or sit. That means small volumes, quick service and beans that stay fresh even when you only use a few hundred grams a week.
Most salons pour between 15 and 60 drinks a day, which is exactly the volume where a big bag of beans goes stale before it is finished. Smaller bags ordered more often beat a bulk order that sits open in a hopper for a fortnight.
Service has to be one-handed and fast. Stylists are mid-appointment, so anything needing a tamp, a purge and a wipe-down will quietly stop happening by week three. A bean to cup unit or a capsule system on the reception desk survives real salon conditions.
The cup matters more here than almost anywhere. Clients photograph a good salon. A branded cup in the mirror shot is free marketing that a plain white one does not give you.
No. We supply salons using a few kilos a month. The main change is bag size and delivery frequency, not the coffee itself.
A capsule machine or a compact bean to cup unit on the counter. Neither needs a trained hand, both produce a drink in under a minute, and neither pulls a barber away from the chair for long.
Yes. Branded cups and branded retail bags are both available, and plenty of salons sell the retail bags at the till as an added revenue line.
For most salons, every three to five weeks. We would rather send you smaller drops more often than have you brewing beans that have been open for a month.
We focus on the coffee, and we will advise on which barista-grade alternatives texture well with the blend you choose so your drinks do not split.
