Brew bar offerings and rotations

Purpose of a Brew Bar

• Highlights manual brewing methods (V60, Chemex, Kalita, AeroPress, siphon).
• Showcases single-origin coffees with distinct terroir.
• Creates educational, interactive experiences for customers.

Core Offerings

• Pour-Over (V60/Kalita): Clean, transparent, emphasizes origin character.
• Chemex: Larger brews, clarity with softer body.
• AeroPress: Versatile, allows barista creativity.
• Siphon/Vacuum Pot: Theatrical, tea-like clarity.
• Batch Brewer (SCA standard): Consistent filter coffee option.

Rotation Strategies

• Single-Origin Rotations: Rotate every 2–4 weeks to keep menu fresh.
• Seasonal Features: Align offerings with harvest cycles (e.g., fresh-crop Ethiopia in summer, Central America in winter).
• Roast Style Variations: Offer both lighter and medium roasts to cater to different palates.
• Experimental Lots: Include anaerobic or honey-processed coffees for adventurous customers.

Communication

• Provide clear tasting notes, farm/producer info, and brew recommendations.
• Use menu boards, cards, or QR codes for transparency and storytelling.

Operational Considerations

• Limit active choices (2–3 at a time) to reduce confusion and training complexity.
• Track sales data to guide which origins or brew methods to keep.
• Train staff to guide customers toward suitable choices.

Customer Experience

• Brew bar creates engagement—customers see coffee brewed to order.
• Enhances perception of quality and specialty focus.
• Encourages repeat visits as menu changes.

Summary

A well-curated brew bar rotates single origins, methods, and roast styles to showcase coffee diversity. Strategic rotations, clear communication, and interactive brewing create a dynamic experience that highlights specialty coffee while remaining approachable and profitable.
