Product Development

Preferences of coffee drinkers are ever changing and being able to develop and successfully launch new, innovative products that speak to these customers is central to the success of all coffee businesses.  

 

We know every company is unique, with its own distinctive customer base, and by keeping this in mind throughout our product development methodology we have a proven track record of unlocking success. 

  • Starting with product inception we can manage the full journey through research, experimentation, and innovation to develop products that stand out in todays competitive coffee market.

  • Whether it’s great taste winners, single serve capsules, or new emerging products that are reshaping the coffee marketplace, we have the technical knowledge to take your products from concept to reality.

  • If you are at the beginning of the product development journey we can help with research, identifying market trends, consumer preferences, and opportunities for your new coffee products. We can then analyse this information to generate ideas and concepts for new products.

Developing Blends and Product Ranges

If you have a blend idea in mind, would like to match an existing product in the marketplace, or develop an entirely new product range we can develop, test and refine your concepts into unique and distinct products. As certified Q Arabica and Robusta graders we can identify the quality aspects of green coffee ideal for your products whether it is commercial or speciality coffee. We offer support beyond the selection of components and can sourcing green coffees, and build value chains for your products for blends and ranges.

Defining Roast Profiles on Your Roaster

Once products have been created in the laboratory the transition into full industrialization is it critical step in the journey of any product to success. We have a vast experience in this manufacturing phase and have worked on many common roast profiling systems found in roasteries optimising the roasting curves of the final products.

Setting Quality Standards

To ensure any coffee product is successful after launching, defining underlying quality standards is a crucial step in supporting success.  We offer services to help build product specifications either within your own business or with white label coffee roasteries, defining attributes to monitor product consistency and achieve consumer satisfaction.  

After launching coffees into the marketplace we offer support services to check products are achieving specification and delivering the vision of the original product development.  This includes a range of physical testing and sensory analysis.
