Coffee Consulting

I’m dedicated to making your coffee projects more successful and sustainable. Let’s work together to make your business thrive.

  • Let’s drive traffic and boost profits for your café. We can tighten the service model, hone bar flow, and streamline hiring, onboarding, and training process. I love workshopping menu design, building barista training programs, and improving quality control within the café. With my expertise, we can transform your coffee shop into a vibrant community hub.

  • From production roasting, to roast profiling, to sample roasting - I’m here to help you master the art of roasting. I love building protocols for roaster in production facilities that allow them to build a great menu and maintain impeccable Quality Control and Quality Assurance standards. Want to build or expand your wholesale program? Customers deserve a consistent product, and you deserve the tools to make this process easy and sustainable!

  • I’ve been a coffee buyer since 2015, moving steadily up the supply chain to build close relationships with producers of truly excellent coffee all over the world. I understand the budget constraints and desire for deliciousness that roasters look for. If you’re looking to build ethical sourcing for sustainable success and build out your yearly green coffee menu, I can use my years of expertise and relationship building to help you source the best coffees for your menu.

  • Elevating coffee quality begins with sensory training. As a Q Instructor, I’m an expert in training groups to analyze coffee. But CQI certifications are not the only option - sometimes you need to build better alignment for your baristas on the floor, between roasters in production, or between your buyers and QC teams. Let me build your teams palates and communications skills so that everyone is cupping on the same page.

    Sensory development is a ton of fun, and can also be a great team building and bonding activity for everyone in the company.

  • Your business needs are unique to you - let’s build a solution that’s tailored to your coffee business. Together we can build a consulting package that addresses your own unique pain points. Use the contact form below to get the conversation started!

Projects

I want to collaborate with coffee businesses of all sizes who are working to create a positive impact on our industry and our world.

Team Calibration

Calibration is essential, and can be a fun team-building exercise. I’ve built tasting games for lay people and palate development exercises for experts. Understanding how we experience scents and flavors is one of my favorite things to talk about!

Hiring & Training Programs

Finding candidates who fit your businesses mission and values is a skill; having a clear idea of what your business needs and tight processes to handle the hiring process can save your business a ton of time and money. Once they’re on board, bringing new hires fully into the company culture is a must. Building a common language of standards and recipes is the best way to ensure happy employees and happier customers. Use these trainings to create SOPs and regular QC checks to make sure every drink and every roast is up to snuff!

Menu Development

Coffee menus should be delicious, easy to execute consistently, and represent your brand authentically. I love building menus of green, roasted, and brewed coffee based on your companies’ needs, tastes, and culture. Creating signature beverages that are unique and delightful is one of my strong suits (not to mention a fun hobby).

Green Coffee Purchasing

I’ve bought coffee as a roaster, coffee director, and as an importer. I have close relationships with some of the best farms in Latin America. Let’s talk about coffee quality, buying strategies, and inventory management.

Buildouts

I’ve designed cafe’s, kitchens, and production spaces. I’m obsessed with service flow, efficiency, and creating beautiful spaces that are functional for staff and intuitive for guests.

Roast QC

Quality Control is at the core of every successful roast program. With the right tools, this can be a seamless part of the operation - not a headache or a timesuck. I love building systems that work for each specific production space, designed to help your team create a consistently delicious product.

Team Building

Your team deserves a treat! Playing with the senses, learning about coffee, brewing roasting - these are all great ways to let your staff reconnect and recharge. Let’s build a workshop tailored to your staff’s needs!
