If you're in the beginning stages of opening a coffee shop, remember that, just like any other business, there's some paperwork you have to do first–things like state and local permits, construction permits, business licenses, and more. So take a gander at our blogs, like the ones below, to pick up some tips and tricks in navigating the beautifully complex world of coffee.

Crafted in the spirit of classic Italian-style espresso, this organic espresso blend delivers a thick, mouth-coating shot with premium chocolate tones and a deep caramel sweetness.

That makes it a go-to bold espresso for coffee shops looking for flavor that plays well across the menu. Whether you’re keeping it simple with 6 oz of steamed milk or going full tilt with mocha sauce and whipped cream, San Remo holds its own.

View full detailsGreat crema—check. Sweet flavor—check. A pleasant, lingering aftertaste—check. Midnight Lotus is a smooth espresso blend that brings together coffees from South America and the Pacific Rim for a shot that’s intense, balanced, and surprisingly layered. It’s rich complexity is reminiscent of Lotus blossoms in the evening air. Designed to be enjoyed as a true espresso, this blend captivates anyone who loves the complex flavors that only espresso can deliver. It’s crafted to pair beautifully with milk, making it a balanced espresso for coffee shops that serve a mix of straight shots, cortados, and milk-based drinks up to 12oz. Larger than that, and the nuanced flavors can start to fade—but within that range, it’s magic. Dial it in your way, but here’s our favorite approach: 18g in, 40g out in 30 seconds for rich balance. Prefer a fruit-forward shot? Try 18g in, 32g out in 24 seconds. There’s no one-size-fits-all, and that’s the beauty of it. Flavor-wise, Midnight Lotus stands out with its smooth, layered chocolatiness, jammy dried fruit notes, and a distinct aroma of plum and fig. If you’re chasing the best espresso shot recipe for balance, sweetness, and depth—this is it. Roast level:Medium Tastes like:Layered Chocolate | Dried Fruit
View full detailsOur signature espresso—sans the signature jolt. This decaf espresso for coffee shops brings the same nutty sweetness and bold complexity as the original, minus the Indy 500 energy. It’s decaffeinated using Methylene Chloride, an FDA approved food safe solvent that is used to extract caffeine from green coffee beans before they are roasted. The amount of this chemical used in the solvent is well within the approved safety range for human consumption, so don't let the scientific name deter you from this glorious decaf. Designed to be swapped in 1-to-1 for any espresso blend in your drink lineup, this all-purpose decaf espresso doesn’t miss a beat. Thanks to Brazilian beans in the mix, you’ll get a thick, luxurious crema that holds up beautifully on its own. In the cup, it’s all cocoa base, bold nuttiness, and smooth, subtle sweetness. When paired with milk and syrups, the flavors mellow out just enough—but still stay distinct. Whether you’re pulling for a latte, cappuccino, americano, cortado, or a late-night decaf shot, this blend delivers. Trust it to shine when your customers want a top-tier coffee experience without the caffeine. Roast Level:Decaf Tastes like:Bold | Sweet | Complex
