Welcome With the café and coffee shop sector presented with a number of busy shows and events in September (lunch!, Casual Dining, Caffè Culture and the London Coffee Festival), it still remains to be seen how much the habits of customers themselves - more used to working from home than travelling to the office these days - have changed for good.

In this issue, SCA Latte Art champion, Alessandro Zengiaro, gives us his take on latte art, and we hear about a new online platform that’s bringing roasters and smaller, niche producers together in trade across the world.

Red van goes green!

The nation’s largest mobile coffee franchise, Cafe2U, has launched what it claims is the world’s first totally emissions-free coffee van.

The UK’s fifth largest coffee brand says that it will be upgrading its fleet of almost 100 vehicles to electric over the next five years, saving approximately 12,672g of CO2 per annum.

The company’s first electric vehicles took to the road last month as part of its annual Green Coffee Fortnight, which ran from 27 September 27 and aims to increase environmentally friendly practices in the coffee industry.

Cafe2U is making the switch as part of its goal to become the UK’s first carbon neutral coffee company. The move means all the company’s diesel vehicles will be off the fleet well ahead of the government’s ban on petrol and diesel vehicles which comes into effect in 2030.

To coincide with the unveiling of its first electric van and reduce its carbon footprint further still, the company is also launching a compostable paper cup and minimising its paper usage, with Cafe2U’s head office in the process of digitising all its files ahead of a 2022 deadline to be completely paper-free. The company has also switched from print to digital advertising and launched a new app to replace its loyalty card system.

Cafe2U has introduced several other sustainability initiatives in recent years, with the company launching a waste coffee grounds recycling scheme and replacing its plastic straws with paper alternatives in 2018. This is in addition to replacing the diesel generators in its vans with emissionfree lithium-ion batteries in 2019.

Martyn Ward, chief executive at Cafe2U, said: “Reducing our carbon

footprint is absolutely vital to us and our customers so we’re always on the lookout for new ways to become even more sustainable. We are delighted to be leading the way in the mobile coffee market with our new zero emissions coffee vans which are a world first.

“As well as being better for the environment, electric vehicles will enable our franchisees to access indoor events and emission-free zones, amplifying our pro-sustainability message even further. To be the world’s first is testament to the progressive nature of our brand and the hard work both our head office and franchisees put in each and every day.”

Amsric sold to Cobra Coffee Starbucks operator, Amsric Limited, a subsidiary of multifranchise group Amsric Holdings Limited, has been sold to fellow Starbucks operator, Cobra Coffee Limited, a subsidiary of the Southern Co-op.

Amsric Limited has been a Starbucks operator since 2014, initially acquiring stores from the franchisor and subsequently opening additional stores to reach the current tally of 12 stores, plus two in development.

Amsric is the most significant Starbucks franchisee in the South West of England, operating in locations such as Exeter, Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Southampton. The stores’ formats range from Drive-Thru and Drive-To, Retail Park and Shopping Centre, and on to High Street locations.

The company employs around 140 and achieves sales approaching £10 million per annum.

The board of Amsric’s owner, Amsric Holdings Limited, turned to PKF Smith Cooper’s corporate finance team, experts in franchise hospitality deal management, to market the company, negotiate terms, and to manage and advise on the sale process. It also utilised the franchise sector expertise of Burnetts solicitors, who advised on the corporate and property legal aspects of the transaction.

Cobra Coffee (Cobra) has been a Starbucks franchisee since 2013 and was itself acquired by the Southern Co-op in 2018. Southern Co-op is the large regional independent 4 CAFÉ LIFE | OCTOBER 2021

Co-operative, which also operates retail stores and funeral services in the South of England. Cobra operates 35 stores, increasing to 47 following the deal, and will employ approaching 500 in the enlarged business.

Ragin Patel, director of Amsric Holdings, the seller, commented: “We leave the Starbucks community with some sadness but are pleased to have found a great partner in Cobra – which we are confident will take the business forward and that, with the Co-op’s strong people-centric, ethical and community values, our dedicated and committed Amsric team will also benefit.”

Speaking of the deal process, Ragin Patel added: “We are delighted with the guidance and expertise delivered so professionally by PKF Smith Cooper, and by our legal advisers, Burnetts; both laboured tirelessly to achieve a great result and ran a professional, slick process that brought efficiency and good-humour to the process.”

Mark Smith, CEO of Southern Co-op commented: “I am delighted to welcome the new partners joining our team as we continue our growth with Starbucks across the South of England”.

Gwyn Kennett, Cobra’s head of operations said: “This acquisition will enable us to bring the great Starbucks experience to even more customers and we are excited at the opportunity to build out in the South West.”

Organisations urged to join forces to fight food waste Food waste brand Love Food Hate Waste has announced the first corporate donors for next year’s Food Waste Action Week (7-13 March 2022), with high-street retailer Aldi, home food delivery company Ocado Retail, food manufacturers Danone and Dunbia and food service provider Sodexo the first to put their names to the campaign.

Love Food Hate Waste is keen to involve many more organisations to broaden the impact the week will have through their customer and membership channels and is encouraging more to donate and put their stamp on this important environmental Week of action.

Sarah Clayton, head of citizen behaviour change at WRAP, said: “Our first Food Waste Action Week was an incredible success with almost half of people who came across messaging changing their behaviour as a result so we’re confident we have a winning formula. But year two has new pressures. In 2022 we must hit home harder because our data shows that with the easing of lockdown household food waste began to rise again as people fell back into old habits. It’s imperative that we drive home the message that wasting food feeds climate change, and business support and trade body involvement is crucial in channelling that message widescale, so we’re keen to speak with more organisations about becoming donors and supporting Food Waste Action Week 2022.”

The theme of the Food Waste Action Week 2022 is being developed and like last year will involve a well-known public figure – to be announced – who will help convey the message that Wasting Food Feeds Climate Change and inspire the public, businesses and social groups across the UK to act on food waste.

They will follow in the footsteps of chef, tv personality and author Nadia Hussain who was the figurehead for the inaugural Food Waste Action Week, 2021.

2022 will focus on the most wasted foods and instil positive behaviours to help people avoid common triggers that can lead to food going to waste. It will engage with UK residents aged 18 – 44, and particularly those between the ages of 18-34 who can experience the most significant life changes such as having children and leaving home for the first time, that are common triggers for waste. The week will also target school age children with the release of an education pack for schools.

WRAP’s behaviour change unit has developed and tested a series of nudge interventions to help direct citizens towards key food waste prevention behaviours. The charity is now keen to spend the time in the run up to Food Waste Action Week 2022 working with partners to trial a number of these new interventions in real world scenarios – in preparation for the Week of Action, when the results are expected to be published.

Food Waste Action Week will include the hospitality and food service sector, with many businesses and organisations engaged by supporting WRAP’s Guardians of Grub industry campaign.

During 2021, Love Food Hate Waste conducted a series of lockdown surveys that showed that food waste levels initially fell, then plateaued and eventually rose again across the period the UK went into restricted movement, and reopened. This rise in self-reported food waste was underlined during Food Waste Action Week 2021 with the publication of the WRAP and UNEP Food Waste Index Report. This ground-breaking research showed for the first time that household food waste is a reality for both rich- and middleincome nations and not the preserve of more affluent countries alone, as was previously thought.

It is currently estimated that around half a billion tonnes of food is thrown away from homes around the world, every year. In the UK, household food

waste fell in recent years and hovers around 6.6 million tonnes of food waste, with 4.5 million tonnes food that could have been eaten.

Ahead of COP26, WRAP – the charity behind Love Food Hate Waste – also published a landmark report detailing for the first time the greenhouse gas emissions produced to feed the UK through our food system. This found that the equivalent to 35% of the UK’s total GHG emissions arise from feeding people in the UK - with food waste contributing 23% to that figure.

Love Food Hate Waste is urging trade bodies and business to make sure Food Waste Action Week 2022 is in their diary, and that they speak with the campaign organisers to begin planning how they will be a part of the high-profile campaign via lfhw@wrap.org.uk.

Food Waste Action Week was designed and delivered as part of the Love Food Hate Waste campaign to address the disconnect between the high percentage of UK citizens concerned by climate change (81%), and the lower number who connect food waste as a contributing factor of global warming – 32%. More than 135 businesses and organisations gave their support during the first Week, helping drive awareness nationwide through an array of public and social media activities that generated more than half a billion opportunities to see the campaign across all channels, including PR circulation and viewership.

WRAP is a global NGO based in the UK. It is one of the UK’s top five environmental charities and works with governments, businesses and individuals to ensure that the world’s natural resources are used more sustainably. It is the charity leading the UK Plastics Pact (a world first), Courtauld Commitment 2030, Textiles 2030 as well as the citizen campaigns Love Food Hate Waste, Love Your Clothes, Clear on Plastics and Recycle Now.

200 Degrees Coffee Roasters opens fifteenth coffee shop Nottingham-based 200 Degrees Coffee Roasters have announced the opening of their second coffee shop in the city of York at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet – and their fifteenth coffee shop opening - following their successful recent launch on Low Petergate in the city centre.

This will be the coffee roaster’s third venue with the retail outlet group following earlier openings at both the East and West Midlands designer outlets.

The new shop will create 12 new full-time and part-time jobs and is located next to the southern entrance to the outlet. It combines 200 Degrees’ independent feel and relaxed, comfortable interior with a large outside seating area that catches the afternoon sun.

200 Degrees, a coffee company dedicated to helping people ‘Drink Better Coffee’, add that that they already have big plans for their newest shop, having designed a purpose-built space to showcase their selection of home brew equipment and range of Sage espresso machines. They will also be hosting

hands-on demonstration sessions throughout the year.

Tom Vincent, MD at 200 Degrees commented: “We’re looking forward to continuing our strong partnership with McArthurGlen and expanding our presence in the York area. We’ve got some really unique features in this new shop, such as our first ever coffee roaster, as well as the familiar things people love such as our hand roasted coffee, friendly baristas and food that’s freshly made in our kitchen every day.”

With the outlet being less than 20 minutes’ drive from York, the brand also hope to draw on the success of their shop in the city centre.

Paul Tyler, centre manager added: “At McArthurGlen Designer Outlet York we always strive to bring new food and beverage experiences for our visitors, which is why we are thrilled to announce that fan-favourite roastery and coffee shop 200 Degrees will be opening at York Designer Outlet this September.

200 Degrees Coffee have a significant cult following, so we are confident our coffee-loving guests are going to indulge in some speciality drinks with food to

fuel their visits in the coming weeks.”

200 Degrees was set up by Tom Vincent and his business partner Rob Darby in 2012 and has 15 ‘distinctively independent’ coffee shops as well as its Roast House near Trent Bridge in Nottingham. The company has seen significant growth opening four new shops in 2021 and plans for further expansion in 2022.

Burnley bakery’s BIBA success Burnley’s Cherrytree Bakery is celebrating after being crowned Medium Business of the Year at the BIBAs (Be Inspired Business Awards) – one of Lancashire’s most prestigious business awards.

Also nominated for Manufacturer of the Year, Cherrytree Bakery – who produce bespoke premium sweet treats for national supermarkets and brands such as Costa Coffee (who the bakery have worked with for the past twelve years) - were thrilled to pick up

their BIBA at a glittering awards evening held at Blackpool’s famous Tower Ballroom.

Gary Entwistle, founder and executive chair of Cherrytree, said: “We are absolutely over the moon to have been awarded a BIBA and to have been recognised in not one, but two categories.

“This award celebrates the whole team at Cherrytree Bakery and recognises their great achievements, hard work and attention to detail, especially after such a difficult period for businesses across the county.”

The Burnley-based bakery have also been selected as one of three national finalists for Bakery Manufacturer of the Year in the acclaimed Baking Industry Awards 2021.

Gary Entwistle added: “To come home with a BIBA is a very proud moment and to bring home a national baking industry award for Lancashire would be the icing on the cake.”

Flexeserve wins at LeicestershireLive Business Awards Hot-holding company, Flexeserve, has won the Award for Excellence in Manufacturing at the LeicestershireLive Business Awards 2020/21.

The LeicestershireLive Business Awards is an annual event that “aims to celebrate success, recognise achievement and highlight the innovative people and companies throughout Leicestershire who are putting their region on the map.”

The Flexeserve team was thrilled to have been awarded the event’s highest accolade in manufacturing, which was sponsored by food manufacturers, Samworth Brothers. In addition to this, Flexeserve was also awarded runner-up for International Trade and Export in recognition of their growing success in overseas sales.

Partners from across all departments of Flexeserve, including the manufacturing team, were in attendance at the ceremony, which was held at The Maher Centre in Leicester in September.

Jamie Joyce, CEO of Flexeserve, was delighted with the achievement and said: “The amazing result at the LeicestershireLive Business Awards recognises the efforts of our entire team. When I reflect on the past two years, and what we have managed to achieve, during the most challenging time for our business – and, indeed, for everyone – I couldn’t be prouder.

“During this time, we have needed to fulfil pivotal, large-scale rollouts and everyone has risen to the occasion.

We’ve increased the efficiency and productivity of our manufacturing operation whilst maintaining the high

standard of quality synonymous with the Flexeserve brand.”

Flexeserve, with its HQ in Hinckley, Leicestershire, reports that it has undergone a period of transformation in its manufacturing operations and facilities in response to a sharp rise in demand for its products overseas.

8 CAFÉ LIFE | OCTOBER 2021

In recent years, Flexeserve has secured major international customers that have made significant commitments to the brand with orders amounting to thousands of units. The magnitude of these requirements has helped to drive Flexeserve’s evolution – particularly where its manufacturing is concerned.

Mark Manley, production manager, explained: “We have been investing significant time and resource into taking a leap forward in the way we produce our industry-leading hot-holding units. Through recruitment, refurbishment and an overhaul of our manufacturing process, we have created a highly efficient production line based on LEAN manufacturing principles.

“Furthermore, we have received formal recognition of the quality of our manufacturing facilities – with ETL and CB certification, which assess to the highest standards.”

The development of a dedicated production engineering team – with specialists recruited from the automotive sector – worked closely with operations, supply chain and manufacturing to enhance and refine the efficiency and productivity of Flexeserve’s manufacturing operations.

Jamie Joyce added: “One of the great sources of pride for us over the past couple of years has been the investments we have made in manufacturing. It is absolutely fundamental, in our pursuit of being the industry experts in hot-holding, that our manufacturing space and facilities are at the forefront of modernisation and populated by a highlyskilled team.

“This year, we launched our new partner facility, The Hive, which is situated next to our manufacturing space.

Here, partners from all over the business, from the production lines right through to customer support desks – and the management team too, of course – meet, eat and innovate together. This aligns closely with the values of our employee-owned company.

“The impact of this new space on productivity, collaboration and wellbeing, shows that the investments we make in our partners are just as important as those we make directly into manufacturing.”

Greiner Packaging develop the selfseparating cup

pianocoffee.com is among the Great Taste winners of 2021 Francesco Coffee Beans from pianocoffee.com has been awarded a 1-star by Great Taste, the largest and most trusted food and drink awards on the planet.

Out of 5,383 products worldwide to receive a Great Taste 1-, 2- or 3-star accolade on Tuesday 21 September, Francesco Coffee Beans will now be able to display the unmistakable black and gold logo, a stamp of excellence that is recognised by retailers and consumers alike.

The judges commended the good body of the coffee with its notes of dark chocolate and light citrus finish (this organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified blend is now available in fully recyclable packaging, now including the coffee bag).

Martyn Streeting, founder of pianocoffee.com said: “Francesco has been a labour of love to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability and high quality.

We developed this triple-certified blend at an eco-friendly roastery in the UK with the twin objectives of delivering a superb modern Italianstyle espresso whilst minimising its environmental impact.

“To receive this recognition a matter of months after the product was launched is a great testament to the team that worked so hard to develop the blend, design the packaging and help us bring this project to market.”

An innovative development from Greiner Packaging is revolutionising the recyclability of cardboard-plastic combinations.

Making sure that waste was sorted correctly used to be fully reliant on consumers playing their part, but now with K3® r100, say Greiner Packaging, the cardboard wrap and the plastic cup separate all by themselves on the way to the recycling facility, making the packaging solution ideal for recycling.

Cardboard-plastic combinations have a number of positive attributes when it comes to sustainability. The cardboard wrap, which can be made from recycled material, lends sturdiness to the plastic cup so that it can be produced with particularly thin walls. This wrap is especially easy to detach from the cup thanks to an innovative tear-off system, with the two components then disposed of separately and recycled.

Since the white or transparent plastic cup is unprinted, it can be recycled very effectively. In addition, the carbon footprint of K3 cups is significantly smaller than that of alternative packaging solutions, point out the company.

“Cardboard-plastic combinations are a fully sustainable solution,” emphasises Jens Krause, sales director and K3 product category manager at Greiner Packaging. “But there is one challenge – separating the cardboard wrap from the plastic cup currently requires action by consumers. If they separate the cardboard wrap from the plastic cup when discarding the used packaging, the cup will perform very well in the recycling process. But if they don’t do that – which is still the case for most consumers – the components will not always be correctly identified in the sorting system, making it difficult to correctly recycle the K3 packaging. As a result, the cups are currently quite difficult to recycle properly in some countries.”

Greiner Packaging wants to address this state of affairs – and in developing K3 r100, they have created a solution in which the cardboard wrap separates itself from the plastic cup during the

waste collection process – i.e., before the packaging arrives at the NIR (near infrared) detection in the sorting unit.

This innovative development makes K3 cups substantially easier to recycle, with the cardboard and plastic assigned to the correct material streams during the initial sorting process before being recycled.

Cyclos-HTP has given K3 r100 (with a standard aluminum lid) a recyclability rating of higher than 90%. RecyClass has also issued K3 r100 its best rating (Class A) – the K3 cup was evaluated and certified in accordance with RecyClass recyclability standards and the Design for Recycling guidelines and received a Class A rating, indicating the top level of recyclability for a packaging item.

“In developing K3 r100, we have made a major breakthrough. That being said, of course, the best-case scenario is still for the consumer to separate the cardboard wrap from the plastic cup before disposing of the parts properly,” Jens Krause stresses. For this reason, the K3 r100 still features the innovative tear- off solution, which makes separating the plastic and cardboard easier and more intuitive. This means that environmentally conscious consumers can play it safe when it comes to recycling – it was with good reason that the tear tab was praised by the jury for the Swiss Packaging Awards for being “easy to see and use” and “selfexplanatory.” Plus, the rear side of the cardboard wrap is the perfect place to provide more information and engage with consumers.

K3 r100 will come onto the market this autumn and Greiner Packaging will be exhibiting their innovative solution at FachPack.

Revolver Cooperative join list of winners in this year’s Great Taste Awards Revolver have announced that for the seventh consecutive year running, they are winners in the Great Taste Awards with their Coop branded Fairtrade Organic breakfast Tea, Swiss Water Fairtrade Organic Decaf and Copacabana Fairtrade Nespresso capsules.

Judges loved the company’s Fairtrade Organic Tea, saying: “A well made, fannings leaf grade with a coppery infused leaf and rich amber infusion. The liquor is brisk and the quality of this tea runs through the character of the blend. A really good quality which takes the milk well. A bright golden cup with a brisk refreshing flavour.

Good character, nice and fresh.

Worked well with and without milk.

We agree this is a coloury and aromatic liquor; it’s drinkable black but takes a small splash of milk quite well, retaining some brisk, bright, refreshing character.”

On their Swiss Water Fairtrade Organic Decaf the judges said: “This espresso has a lovely rich body that’s sticky and thick, coating the mouth very well. It takes milk very well, it comes through quite sharp and punchy.”

On Copacabana Fairtrade Nespresso capsules they added: “A well rounded blend. There are woody notes which are quite dry over the palate, mellows and you get some light chocolate notes coming through”.

John Boyle, president of Revolver Coop, said: “What a great award to recognise the work of our society. I am proud of our master roasters and the marketing team at Revolver. Together we have again come up with award winning, ‘best in class’ - ethically sourced and innovatively packaged products.

We continue to put people and the environment first.”

Wholey Moly add to range and extend listings New listings in Ocado and Sainsbury’s shows that lockdown was in retrospect a helpful time for husband and wife founders, Meenesh and Parul, to revisit their Wholey Moly brand by initiating a number of small yet telling range tweaks to underline the brand’s status as a leading light within the vegan, high-infibre/gluten-free cookie movement.

Besides the arrival of a Pistachio Lemon offering, Wholey Moly have enhanced their recipes to create a less crumbly, more soft-centred cookie, they report, and raised essential additional investment to build its DTC (direct to customer)/online presence, and moved to planet-friendly recyclable paper packaging to reaffirm its status as a brand that tastes good and is good for both you and the wider planet.

When the pandemic took hold, it perhaps wasn’t surprising so see the biscuits category fulfil its role as the nation’s most popular permissible comfort food and dependable indulgence, because, despite our nation’s evolving food landscape, the UK’s love affair with biscuits remains undiminished. Today, Brits continue to buy a staggering £8m worth of biscuits each and every day, helping explain how

the UK continues to enjoy the highest per capita biscuit consumption in the world, the company observe.

And with healthier-leaning biscuits now accounting for a not insignificant 26% of the UK biscuit market too - fuelled by a growing appetite for intriguing eating on-the-hoof formats - the Wholey Moly team add that they knew its ‘cookies with benefits’ mantra resonated louder than ever, with a growing public belief that sincere, healthy yet tasty flavour convictions (50% less sugar) is never an excuse to settle for humdrum flavours and mundane textures.

“The last 12 months have been a whirlwind for us,” say the company. “We have fine-tuned our four-strong range to be the at the very top of its game, from both a taste and healthier living perspective, without ever compromising our core ‘indulgent fun’ persona.”

Rave adds anaerobic coffee to single origin range Floral, tropical, bright and boozy, the latest addition to Rave’s selection of single origin coffee beans, Risaralda Community Project No. 126, employs the innovative anaerobic natural processing method to deliver an intense and unusual flavour profile that’s distinct from any other coffee on the market, report the company.

By fermenting the ripest, handharvested cherries in closed tanks without oxygen for up to 120 hours, the smallholders of the Risaralda Project are able to encourage the development of microorganisms like lactic bacteria and yeast, resulting in bold, new flavours without risking quality. This is followed by an intensive drying process for up to three weeks, before the beans are lightly roasted by the team at Rave to allow the coffee’s extraordinary flavour profile to

shine through.

With tasting notes including melon, gooseberry and florals, this latest addition to the Rave range is a great example of what can be produced when exceptional coffee cultivation and skilful processing are combined.

All this has been achieved while giving back to both the environment and the people that work alongside it, as Rave continues to establish long-term partnerships with cooperatives to help improve the sustainability of farms and farming communities (1% of all sales are also donated to environmental causes through Rave’s 1% for the Planet commitment, regardless of profit).

Touker Suleyman (pictured), entrepreneur, businessman and Dragons’ Den investor, said: “I am incredibly excited with my investment in Silly Goose. With any investment I look for great people, great branding, and of course great products. I truly believe Silly Goose has all three and has a bright future ahead!”

Consumers seek flavour as well as function Callebaut’s Chocolate Academy has released its first Top Food Trends report revealing that today’s consumer is after a range of flavours that offer flexible functionality.

The report breaks down six core evolving macro trends, offering customers insight on which foods and ingredients cater best to the current demands of consumers and how to effectively incorporate those into their chocolate creations.

The six macro flavour trends are Hot Red (spicy), Magic Purple (berries and floral). Sweet Caramel (nostalgic including chocolate), Earthy Brown (nuts, spices and roots), Healthy Green (plant-based and fresh tastes) and Mellow Yellow (citrus and tropical).

The Chocolate Academy’s 18-page guide offers a deep dive into each of these trends and also outlines key flavours and cooking tips for operators and chefs to focus on when formulating menus for the coming season.

Some key finding the report highlights include the finding that 59% of consumers aged 18-34 prefer very spicy foods, as well as the observation that flavours that tingle are a trending movement in 2021. Over the past five years, hibiscus has been showing growth around the globe with a 78% increase in new products since 2014, they also found.

and are considered the favourite ingredient in chocolate products by global consumers, they found, and 46% of global consumers like moments of indulgence where they “pay no attention to nutritional intake”.

With a €33b turnover in Western Europe, chocolate confectionery continues to be a steadily growing category and over the next five years, the global chocolate market is forecast to grow sales on average of 4.4% a year, they report.

The report also draws attention to the changing demands of guests when dining out of home and what will continue to change, offering operators a guide on how to best adapt their business to suit their customers.

This includes the desire for more than just great food on a plate, but providing an ‘extraordinary experience’, along with requests for a more ‘touch-free’ environment such as digital menus and payment methods.

Julie Sharp, head of UK Academy commented: “The Chocolate Academy has created this report to help operators develop their menu ideas in-line with the key food trends of the year. To help our customers create on-trend recipes their consumers will return for, the Chocolate Academy has analysed trends across the whole market. With six clear macro food trends, operators can easily get the inspiration needed to create a relevant and timely menu.”

Coffee CoffeeSafe Scotland’s Speciality Food Show plans January comeback Scotland’s Speciality Food Show will be back in person, in Glasgow from 23-25 January 2022 with a raft of interesting and innovative fine food and drink exhibitors, making it a not-to-be missed event for fine food shops, delis, farm shops, restaurants and hotels north and south of the border.

As the only large scale food trade show in Scotland next year, it is expected to attract many food outlets who are eager to taste and see new products and re-stock their shelves for spring and summer, and there looks set to be some 100 exhibitors, both large and small, showcasing what the best Scotland – and beyond – has to offer.

Scotland’s Trade Fair Online has been busy throughout 2021, keeping 175 suppliers and over 2000 retailers in touch all year with a combination of an online product directory and live product sessions.

The event will host the Best Product Awards, workshops, talks from experts, networking opportunities and more, with the Launch Gallery likely to be source of creativity. New to the Show are producers such as Island Bakery Organics, Nuisance Drinks, Ramsay of Carluke, The Ochil Fudge Pantry, Bottled Baking Co, NEST Selected Greek products and Dark Sky Spirits. Food from the regions has always been popular with the likes of Tastes of Fife and Tastes of Orkney all planning on hosting large stands brimming with innovative products.

Show director Mark Saunders said: “Although the food and drink industry hasn’t been as badly hit as retail, it’s still been a very unsettling 18 months so we are delighted to be back in January. Interest for the show from potential exhibitors has been positive and we are pleased to be showcasing many new and innovative producers from Scotland, the UK and beyond. However much online ordering has advanced recently, nothing quite beats seeing and tasting the products in person, networking and re-connecting with the industry. We look forward to welcoming you all on 23 January 2022.”

Don’t be scared of the Pressure System Safety Regulations this year.

LATTE ART

Artful inspiration

Alessandro Zengiaro (pictured) from Assembly Coffee Roasters, London, is the SCA UK Latte Art Champion 2020 (the two-day event having been rescheduled from the 2020 competition season), after battling 17 rising star baristas to claim the title at an adrenaline-fuelled live event at Caffè Culture 2021.

INSPIRATION The event’s competitors showcased their latte art skills by pouring matching pairs of drinks with the most complex and visually appealing designs possible.

Roastery technician and competition newcomer, Alessandro Zengiaro, clinched the title with creative and complex designs impeccably reproduced, in the process drawing inspiration from work colleagues Kurt Stewart and Tom Denner, basketball legend Kobe Bryant and Superman.

FINALISTS: Alessandro Zengiaro (Assembly Coffee Roasters) Joe Sheppard (Clifton Coffee) Ben Rowe (Just Bru) Ben Lewis (Winchester Orangery) Ernie Jr Fernandez (Gentleman Baristas) Mateusz Trembecki (Anonymous Coffee/Simonelli Academy) “I’ve spent the last five years training for this competition,” says Alessandro Zengiaro, “and now all that hard work has paid off, I cannot quite believe I have won!”

Over the preceding two months, needless to say, training intensified with Alessandro Zengiaro spending on average 20 hours per week developing new designs and perfecting his pouring technique. “It did get a bit obsessive at one point, but I had set myself a goal and I was determined to achieve it,” he adds.

18 CAFÉ LIFE | OCTOBER 2021

LATTE ART The final round saw the competitors deliver two sets of free pour latte and one set of designer latte in ten minutes, with Alessandro creating three separate designs based around people who had inspired him over the years.

“I created The Rider thinking about two guys who had been part of my day to day life for the last two years,” he explains.

“The first is Kurt Stewart, founder of Volcano Coffee Works, Assembly’s sister company. He is amazing, the best boss you can have in your life.

A great example for everyone. He’s always the first one to get to the

Roastery (and I’m a super early guy, but he is there before me). He starts roasting coffee around five in the morning and when he’s done there is no way he’s leaving without cooking us incredible lunches. Amazing!

“My other inspiration is Tom Denner. He’s my manager at Assembly and well, I owe him 90% of my knowledge on technical stuff. He taught me everything I know, and he is still teaching me. When I moved to London, one of the main goals was to expand my knowledge. I will never stop thanking him for this, he made my experience in London worth it.

“I also decided to create a design around my basketball hero, Kobe Bryant, as the sport has always been one of my greatest passions. Kobe tragically died whilst the Italian Latte Art Championship was on and when I heard the news I decided there and then that I would create a design in his honour as he was my childhood idol.

“Music is a big part of my day and when I first started thinking about developing a pattern, I was really into a song called Superman. So, for Superman, I took inspiration from one of my favourite songs, Superman (it’s not easy) from Five for Fighting.

I’m wondering if they will ever see my pattern…

“My focus now is the World Championship, and I will start planning for that now. I feel very lucky to have been given this opportunity, it feels just great, I am a very happy man.”

A FINAL WORD Sharing knowledge and experiences with friends who have the same passion has been an invaluable part of the learning for Alessandro Zengiaro. “Being part of a team is very motivating and makes the whole process much more enjoyable for everyone; I’d recommend it,” he says.

He will now go on to represent the UK in the SCA World Latte Art Championship (WLAC) to be held in conjunction with the SCA’s World of Coffee trade show in Warsaw, Poland (16-18 June 2022).

ALESSANDRO ZENGIARO’S FIVE HACKS FOR PERFECT LATTE ART Pay attention to how you move your cup hand For best results, think about the movements you will need to make to create the pattern and work out the best way to hold the cup before starting to pour.

Milk temperature “Hello, can I have a flat white, extra hot please?” This is something a barista never wants to hear! Milk that is too hot is the enemy of complex latte art patterns.

Weigh your milk I know from chatting to other baristas that weighing coffee and milk is not the norm. But my thinking is that coffee is always weighed so why not measure out the milk too?

Using precise volumes of both coffee and milk is vital for consistency and using the exact amount of milk is essential for the dry-foam technique.

Coffee is important too…

Coffee is the ‘canvas’ that a barista uses to ‘draw on’. Perhaps it’s possible to use an under extracted coffee to create a basic pattern. But could you imagine Leonardo Da Vinci drawing la Gioconda on kitchen paper? The result would be slightly different...

Consistency Latte art is a skill that needs time to perfect. My advice is don’t stop trying to improve and don’t beat yourself up when things go wrong.

Patience and consistent practice - that’s the best way to improve, I can’t stress this enough.

PROMOTIONAL

ADD TO BASKET: New food packaging range from the UK’s leading online supplier Kite Packaging is a company renowned for their industrial packaging solutions, catering toward large warehouse operations and small businesses alike with a persistent focus on efficiency and environmental consciousness.

RESPONDING TO INCREASED DEMAND As food to go has grown rapidly after revealing itself as a highly lucrative avenue for food and drink vendors over lockdown, Kite chose to bring their technical attention to detail and expert packaging knowhow to this sector. Their exciting new product launch consists of everything a café, restaurant, caterer or other establishment would require to meet the increasing demand for takeaway food.

Kite wields their familiarity with high pressure pick and pack stations to create a collection of food packaging that exudes productivity paired with aesthetic qualities and attractive eco-friendly credentials.

Their readily assembled paper food bowls exemplify these factors by being easily nestable and stackable to conserve space while the sustainable kraft material is fully recyclable after use. To make the customer experience as enjoyable as possible, the containers feature a PE lining that resists moisture and grease, enabling the bowls to be easily transported inside a bag, for 20 CAFÉ LIFE | OCTOBER 2021

example. Tailored toward busy lifestyles or reignited social calendars in the wake of lockdown, both the base and the transparent lid is also microwavable for you to reheat later.

PIZZA TOO Echoing this ethos of convenience, the pizza boxes are intuitive to construct and act as versatile products available in three different sizes. The crowning glory of these boxes is their environmental sensitivity: the corrugated material is 100% recyclable, commercially compostable and sustainably sourced, as certified by FSC. Moreover, the ventilation holes not only keep the contents fresh, but help to mitigate the amount of grease that may seep onto the card, making it easier for the end user to simply scrape off any food solids before recycling as they would any other paper products.

The range offers an array of responsible disposal methods with their products typically being either recyclable, biodegradable, commercially compostable or a combination. This

extends to their plastic packaging which contains recycled content where possible. Kite balances the desire to be as environmentally friendly as possible with the need for optimal hygiene and sanitation; as a result, food grade items are made from virgin material to comply with all relevant regulations.

Kite Packaging has been a leading UK packaging distributor since its founding in 2001, continuing to grow from strength to strength under the collective belief that “customer satisfaction matters so much more when you own the business”. As the only employee share-owned business in its sector, Kite will persistently strive for the best, and its new food packaging range is no different.

FOOD TO GO

Bakery treats

The portable nature of bakery goods, alongside their treat potential, means that they are currently offering café and coffee shop operators the chance to appeal anew to their returning customers.

Maximising morning bakery sales Create winning combos Everybody loves a deal, so why not market a hot drink with a croissant or pain au chocolat as a combo deal in the morning? It is a good way to upsell and drive margins.

Consider hygiene Everybody is more aware of hygiene for obvious reasons and individually wrapped products have come into their own as a result, offering speed of service and the highest possible hygiene standards, but with the ultimate convenience for busy customers too.

Point of sale placement Position goods at the point of sale to drive impulse purchases.

Individually bagged snacks don’t have to be eaten at breakfast, so they are a great upsell opportunity, encouraging customers to take a snack for consumption later in the day.

22 CAFÉ LIFE | OCTOBER 2021

A RETURN TO GROWTH Covid-19 was a watershed moment in food to go, representing a huge shift in the market.

The category had seen a decade or more of growth before the first case of coronavirus and in 2019, IGD forecasted 26.4% growth for food to go between 2019 and 2024, up from £18.5bn to £23.4bn (double the growth of the wider UK food and grocery market).

Inevitably, the pandemic impacted those expectations, particularly during lockdowns when working from home became the norm. In fact, the UK Food to Go Market Report 2021 from Lumina Intelligence showed a 45.5% decline in 2020.

There is, however, every expectation that food to go will quickly return to growth, particularly in certain categories such as bakery products.

Nielsen figures show that while bread sales have just returned to 2019 preCovid figures, morning goods are continuing to grow year on year, which

shows the continued appeal of bakery products in the food to go market.

Bakery items such as St. Pierre’s range of individually wrapped bakery treats, launched to the foodservice market last year, offer a ‘pick-meup’ product that can tap into this opportunity, but with a strong focus on hygiene too (customers can choose from six tempting bakery treats - Butter Croissant, Chocolate Filled Croissant, Pain au Chocolat, Caramel Waffles, Millionaires Waffle and Brioche Waffle – all 45g and with a RRP of £1 each).

In the current climate, hygiene has become of paramount importance too and so individually wrapped products help overcome the challenge of packaging products in a way that is both hygienic and convenient for the customer to take away - even if they might be laden with a hot drink and laptop bag too on the return to the office.

St. Pierre say that their range has been designed to help operators tap into the growing food to go market,

FOOD TO GO combining speed of service with ease for the customer. An instantly recognisable brand via its distinctive orange packaging, the St Pierre range has, for many, become an identifiable, impulse purchases at the point of sale.

Enhancing your grab and go treat offering For café or coffee shop operators tempted by adding a doughnut offering to their grab and go range, there are five key ways in which such products can help to enhance your offering and potentially increase sales.

Instagram-worthy They say a picture is worth a thousand words, which explains why Instagram and the hospitality industry are a perfect pair (Instagram presenting a great opportunity to market your business or branding in an effective and engaging way).

GROWTH EXPECTED “With an estimated value of £22.6 billion by 2024 (Lumina Intelligence data), the long-term outlook for the UK food to go market remains bright. With this in mind, it is important that café and coffee shop operators keep on top of their game when it comes to product innovation and service,” says Kevin Hughes, country manager, UK and Ireland, for La Lorraine Bakery Group (which includes the Donut Worry Be Happy brand).

“According to Lumina Intelligence’s UK Food To Go Market Report 2021, the market will reach £15.3 billion by the end of the year, putting it at 72% of its value prior to the Covid-19 crisis.

“The top ten food to go channels can look forward to a £1 billion sales opportunity between 2022 and 2024, says the report, with sandwich and bakery and coffee shop and café segments poised to lead the way. So, there is a big market for convenient, grab and go products as people demand tasty, nutritional foods to fuel their ‘on the go’ lifestyles. This is encouraging news for operators looking at grab and go as part of their strategy plan going forward.”

IDEAL OPTIONS Sweet treats such as grab and go muffins, cookies, doughnuts and smaller, bite size cakes have always been ideal options for café and coffee

Good business According to European Donut U&A Study 2019, doughnuts in particular are a very popular food to go option, the sweet treat already making up 10% of all European Viennoiserie sales..

Food pairings Sweet bakery items pair extremely well with coffee, or in fact, any hot beverage, and can therefore give café and coffee shop operators the ideal opportunity to upsell and cross sell with both products.

Good merchandising For operators looking to win in the ‘on the go’ category, it’s vital to offer the right core range in the right formats, in turn boosted with the right promotions and in-store merchandising.

Quality and speed For many busy cafés and coffee shops, bake off has become a viable alternative to making a product from scratch. shop consumers looking to treat themselves whilst on the go, but perhaps more so now.

“According to research - European Donut U&A Study 2019 - 90% of sweet bakery customers are open to buying doughnuts, a market also considered to be one of the fastest growing and most dynamic bakery segments,” reports Kevin Hughes.

“And in terms of trends, there are two main drivers currently shaping the food to go sector - health and premiumisation - both of which are key focus areas for the Donut Worry Be Happy brand.

“The ingredients La Lorraine Bakery Group uses lends itself well to healthier alternatives. The dough, for instance, is 20% lighter than its rivals, with each individual doughnut containing 18% less fat than average competitors, making it the perfect choice for the more healthconscious consumer. The light bite doughnuts use only the highest quality ingredients, including real Belgian chocolate and UTZ certified cocoa.”

Tapping into the premium trend, the Donut Worry Be Happy range features light, fluffy doughnuts with a choice of premium fillings, toppings and flavour combinations - all with unique ‘personalities’ and individual names (Ruffallo Cream with its fresh coconut glaze and fresh Raffaello-style cream and Belgiyum with its real Belgian chocolate filling, for example).

Available from September to February, this seasonal winter range also offers that wow factor for customers, claim the company, who have four seasonal specials for winter 2021 - Caramel Dreamcake (double filled with salted caramel and cream before being topped with a white sugar glaze, milk cocoa stripes and salted caramel sprinkles), Iceberry (including a raspberry jam filling and coated with white sugar glaze and sugar sprinkles), Willamon Tell (providing a classic winter flavour combination through sweet apple filling and cinnamon sugar coating) and Frosty Bro (a milk cocoa coated donut with brownie cubes and coconut ‘snowflake’ shavings).

REINVENT AND UPGRADE “With insight from IGD’s Food-To-Go Forecast, 2021 revealing that the food to go market is to recover from the impact of Covid earlier than expected, returning to pre-Covid levels in the second half of 2022, there’s a real opportunity for operators within the sector. Offering sweet and savoury grab and go options across all day

FOOD TO GO parts is an astute move if operators are to reclaim the influence of the food-to-go market and take advantage of its early recovery,” agrees Jessica Ayling, Philadelphia Professional food to go chef ambassador, their popular product offering particular versatility for operators.

“Sandwiches and wraps have long been lunchtime favourites and are the ultimate food to go option.

With a real capacity for reinvention, caterers can and should frequently update their sandwich offering to reflect wider trends in the market and keep choices relevant. Vegetarian options – the most commonly reported dietary requirement (MCA Food To Go Market Report 2020) - or fillings which incorporate the growing demand for flavours from around the world, will prove popular as consumers look for a selection beyond the traditional classics.

“Traditionally thought of as just a topping for bagels or an integral cheesecake ingredient, Philadelphia’s

versatility, allied to its taste, quality and stability, makes it a great ingredient for the food to go sector; its ability to absorb different flavours making it a versatile ingredient that won’t split when heated.

“For example, an offering like

Blueberry and Philly Loaf Cake taps into the demand for high quality, treatled snacks and will prove profitable as consumers look for something sweet to have on the go with Philadelphia Original helping to create a fluffy sponge texture.”

Recycled to go During the recent National Recycle Week, Celebration Packaging launched a new range of 100% recyclable food-to-go packaging products made from recycled material.

“We chose National Recycle Week to launch our new 100% recyclable foodservice packaging range which is made from up to 80% recycled post-consumer PET waste (rPET),” says Celebration Packaging managing director, Nick Burton.

“These new rPET products will soon be made from 100% post-consumer waste. As a 100% recyclable material, rPET has the potential to achieve a 100% circular economy model. In addition, products made from rPET use considerably less energy, and consequently have a much lower carbon footprint, compared to products made from virgin plastics.

“As a supplier within the foodservice sector, we understand the increasing pressures our customers face in endeavouring to operate in an environmentally friendly fashion. We strive to monitor developments in the market to ensure that our ranges meet operational requirements while being manufactured from sustainable and renewable resources. Many people think this important focus on sustainability is something new and

are then surprised to discover that we launched our EnviroWare®range over 14 years ago.”

Their new rPET range is available in multiple sizes to suit all applications and includes the Oval, Rectangular and Round Families (high-clarity clear bowls with hinged lids which are ideal for presenting fresh salads and vegetables). The Premium Bowl and Diamond Bowl ranges are available in transparent or black, with matching tight-fitting transparent lids, while Catering Trays are available in a variety of colours, each with transparent covers. A wide range of cups with domed lids is also available.

Workplace

WELLNESS With work and office-based customers - traditionally the source of regular trade for many café and food to go operators - having stayed away, or switched to delivery and take-out options over the past year, self-service concepts are now offering one way to tackle the need for hygiene as well as still provide access to quality food and beverages.

INNOVATION Award-winning British company, Healthy Nibbles, recently launched their innovative unmanned retail concept - the Wellness Hub. This unmanned retail concept benefits from tech-enabled innovation, real-time monitoring capability, sustainably sourced goods and a range of 1000 plus healthy snacks, drinks and meals currently aimed at enhancing workplace wellness in particular.

The company say that they are committed to enabling healthier choices, providing an opportunity for people to make positive lifestyle choices beginning with their health.

Their goal is to help companies and organisations improve their culture by pioneering new workplace wellness ideas thereby increasing health, happiness and productivity.

As a business, Healthy Nibbles has been built with strong foundations and robust principles, being made up of a team of skilled people who share similar goals and ambitions, and who are also all committed to building a sustainable business with purpose.

Healthy Nibbles enable healthier home, on the go and office-based food solutions, underpinned by personalised nutrition and data to

28 CAFÉ LIFE | OCTOBER 2021

support the wellbeing of employees.

Their ‘micro markets’ come at a time when many businesses are having to think differently about the delivery of health and wellness offerings, and as offices steadily open up again after the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses, as well as food suppliers and operators, need to offer relevant, customisable concepts in a socially distanced environment.

The Wellness Hub provides a healthy, convenient solution, with each unit effectively operating as its own mini-market. Offering fresh and frozen meals, delicious and innovative snacks and drinks, all dietary needs are catered for too, claim its creators.

Sourced from impact-driven brands such as Mindful Chef and Modern Standard coffee, such ‘markets’ can deliver high quality food to fuel health and performance 24 hours a day. All products have also been benchmarked against over 15 UK and international nutritional standards, as well as against the B Corp impact assessment to ensure true workplace wellness, the company add.

To date, over 40% of businesses are thought to still have closed office kitchen facilities following

the pandemic. Micro markets seek to overcome this shortage by allowing everyone to have access to healthy food options regardless of their working pattern. Micro markets are entirely self-service, eliminating the need for them to be staffed. Customers can simply use the self-service interface of the micro market, or alternatively download the app to checkout. The quick, low-touch experience reduces queue times, helps to maintain social distancing and allows for a more even distribution of employees throughout the day, making each micro market a Covid-19 safe area within the office.

INTELLIGENT Smart, remote monitoring capabilities enable the real time tracking of stock levels so that restocks can be carried out on a required basis, allowing everyone’s favourite food to always be on offer.

Each unit can be easily tailored to suit specific environments, as well as individual employees, whilst limiting waste and miles by ensuring that restocking only takes place when necessary.

“Flexibility and health are going to be key drivers in any food and beverage solution, both in the

short and longer-term, as cities, businesses and homes continue to undergo a seismic shift in response to Covid19,” says Healthy Nibbles’ founder Sara Roberts.

“I believe workplace wellness will assume its rightful position as a seat at the board table, moving away from a fragmented and siloed discipline to one that underpins business, with nutrition, mental health, overall wellness, sustainability and impact all forming key components in governance and reporting.”

Wellness is paramount to the way business operates with the healthiest workplaces becoming a destination of choice for employees many sector analysts propose. With clients including BBC, Lacoste, Vitality, Transport for London, The Office Group and Three Mobile, Micro Markets is Healthy Nibbles’ latest solution aimed at making workplaces a healthier destination to be.

The Healthy Nibbles story began when its founder, Sara Roberts, was at her father’s hospital bedside.

Hungry, at 3 am, she found that the only food available was from a vending machine. At the same time,

she recalls that a poster next to the machine warned her ominously that; “diabetes and obesity kill.” Yet, the machine offered only the usual selection of crisps, chocolate bars and fizzy drinks - there were no healthy choices.

Frustrated by this juxtaposition, and alongside her personal wellness journey, Sara Roberts then developed the concept of Healthy Nibbles and today, she is leading the charge by bringing healthy, out of home choices to UK offices, travel hubs and letterboxes nationwide.

The need for Healthy Nibbles is clear and simple, yet urgent, given that rising levels of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are all in turn placing significant burdens on the UK economy. Businesses are losing 97 million workdays annually due to poor diet, it is estimated, and the NHS is at breaking point, indicating that the time for preventative healthcare is now, say Healthy Nibbles.

PROFILE

The online platform connecting producers and roasters Paving the way for 100% direct trade for green coffee distribution, Typica is an online platform connecting producers and roasters, and available to businesses in the UK as of this month.

COFFEE COMMUNITY A global venture, Typica was founded

by Ayane Yamada and Masashi Goto, and strives for transparency in the distribution of green coffees, their online platform now enabling coffee producers and coffee roasters in the UK to be able directly trade coffee from a single jute bag (60kg).

Within a year of its launch, Typica soon grew to a network of more than 2,000 producers and roasters from 12 countries. In Japan in particular, after its launch there in April 2021, it now has more than 800 roasters who are registered and using the platform.

Previously, green coffee trading was only typically possible from a container shipment (18t), whereas Typica makes direct trading of green coffee possible from a single jute bag (60kg). By adding an option to trade in smaller quantities, they have been able to create a community of producers and roasters and it is through this community that they say they are now seeking to transform the coffee industry into an industry where “100% direct trade” is possible for anyone. Through Typica, in season coffee is now being delivered directly from producers to roasters across the world.

Their goal by 2025 is to have grown their coffee community to more than 5,000 producers across 70 countries worldwide (by the end of their first year, they plan to exceed 3,000 producers and roasters in 59 countries). This month will have seen the global expansion of their distribution to 38 countries in total, including the Netherlands, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Norway, South Korea and Taiwan.

Their objective is to empower individuals in the coffee industry, to increase the sustainability of high-quality coffee production and to drastically improve the experience of coffee lovers by rejuvenating the worldwide coffee community of producers and roasters.

For producers, they have created a system where small-scale coffee producers - especially family-run businesses - are able to participate in direct trade. As a result, these producers can set their own prices without being affected by the volatile fluctuations of the international market.

On the topic of the significant rise in coffee prices, Typica’s founders say that they are constantly interviewing many producers to understand their needs. In the short term, there will be no significant impact, they feel.

This is because last year, the price of coffee traded at Typica was in any case three to 30 times higher than the international market price due to its niche, speciality nature. Therefore, it is advantageous for smaller producers to sell via Typica because it allows for longterm transactions at higher prices, the company point out.

On the other hand, in the medium term, if prices increase further, they expect the number of producers to decrease, so they are considering various plans to build a deeper relationship between producers and roasters. Nonetheless, since they are networking mainly with producers who produce unique micro lots with high added value, they expect the impact will be minimal in the medium term as they are operating in a unique market.

For roasters, they aim to provide

“100% direct trade” coffee. Conventional direct trade, which uses 18t as a unit of trading, makes it extremely difficult to trade directly, even for large-scale roasters. For small and medium-sized roasters, direct trading was a challenge too because of trading quantity and high financial costs. In many cases, there were no alternative options, but to depend on trading companies for all aspects of trading - from inventory checks to purchases.

Ayane Yamada

TRANSPARENCY In addition to changing the unit of trading from 18t to 60kg, Typica is providing supply chain and price breakdowns for all distributed lots to ensure and emphasise transparency.

They also support producers and roasters to create a ‘face to face’ approach and relationship to foster mutual understanding and to improve

PROFILE that is “100% direct trade”. In a world where more than 3.5 billion people are connected on the internet, there is an increasing opportunity for coffee producers to distribute as direct trade.

Providing the infrastructure to more than 20 million coffee producers (around 100 million including their families), can change their lifestyle and their lives.

“I believe that by increasing directly traded green coffee, we can simultaneously improve the quality of life for producers, roasters and consumers as well as increase sustainability of our world. It is for the pursuit of this belief that I will continue to develop a platform where participation for all coffee lovers is possible.”

communication, so not only do they encourage the trading of goods, but also the trading of hearts and minds.

“I feel that many people in the coffee industry share the desire to build stronger relationships with coffee producers and to improve sustainability for delicious coffee,” says Ayane Yamada.

“Typica removes these barriers and makes direct trade possible for all roasters and producers. This platform embodies what I yearned for in sourcing green coffee during my years as a roaster. I feel incredibly happy that many roasters have chosen to join our community through our global launch and I look forward to building the future of coffee together.

“Furthermore, we believe that if we, as a whole community, actively share the knowledge and experiences of improving high-quality coffee production, we can greatly increase the quality of coffee distributed worldwide.”

Typica co-founder, Masashi Goto, adds: “Two billion cups of coffee are consumed every day around the world, which makes coffee the second most traded international goods after oil. I decided to establish Typica because I felt that two billion cups of consumer behaviour shows the potential that coffee has in bringing happiness to people worldwide.

“We provide roasters around the world an opportunity to use coffee

RESOLVING SOCIAL ISSUES Typica’s motivation to promote a transparent “100% direct trade” comes from the belief that increasing the direct trade share of green coffee distribution is the most effective way to consistently boost coffee farmer’s profits and roaster’s value, as well as to enhance the coffee experience of the consumers.

The coffee industry is currently facing a large social issue. The constant changes in supply and demand and the inflow of speculative capital has caused coffee prices to be volatile. This makes coffee an extremely difficult crop from which to secure a steady revenue. Due to its instability, many producers opt to change crops or to leave the agriculture business, which means that the sector as a whole is losing the diversity of coffee origins.

COVID-19 has also had a profound impact on coffee distribution and consumption trends (Typica’s own surveys have shown that all producers and roasters felt that their future relies on “the advancement of Digital Transformation (DX)”). Also, as visiting coffee farms and meeting with producers face to face has become difficult, Typica feels that its service to connect producers and roasters online through their platform has become increasingly valued.

Typica see resolving these social issues as one of their missions.

By increasing the share of direct trade, they are able to improve the producers’ quality of life through financial independence and expansion of employment capabilities. However, they hope that their impact doesn’t stop there. There is the potential, they point out, that by contributing to global environmental issues through better coffee distribution, they can bring positive changes to communities in developing countries - positive impacts such as resolving poverty and building infrastructure for schools and hospitals.

Indeed, they are pleased to add that they are already seeing these changes within the community they have already brought together.

“By creating a world where delicious coffee continues to be delicious and a cup of coffee becomes synonymous with a cup of bliss, we can make a positive impact to our platform users, to the coffee industry and to the world,” concludes Ayane Yamada.

Coffee farmers in Peru benefitting from Typica’s “100% direct trade” approach.

Nelson reports lockdown surge in sales of Speedwash dishwashers Nelson Dish & Glasswashing has reported a significant, albeit somewhat surprising, surge in sales of its entry level Speedwash dishwashers throughout the pandemic.

“We believe that a lot of the establishments that managed to keep cooking during the worst times were looking for an affordable, simple to use, dishwasher solution,” explains managing director, John Nelson.

“Many of these were managing to keep functioning with minimal staff numbers so, although hygiene was critical and reliability and performance were important, so was simplicity of design - something that anybody could use without the need for special instructions or training. As the forerunner to our Advantage range, Speedwash can still claim a number of energy and water saving features and it’s certainly incredibly dependable – a real workhorse of a machine. In fact, we’ve got customers still operating Speedwash machines they bought 15 years ago!”

Nelson’s Speedwash range offers an unusually versatile selection of sizes that helps end users maximise available space. As well as 400mm and 500mm basket size undercounter options, there are also two ‘in-between’ models – a 350mm and 450mm.

The pass through is a standard 500mm basket size (call 0800 592 833 or visit www.nelsonwashonline.co.uk).
