Extras You Can Try Adding to Your Everyday Coffee

While many of us are entirely content with a basic instant or drip coffee, possibly with milk and sugar, there are plenty of different things you can add to your coffee to enhance the taste. From common additions like cream to surprising ingredients like vanilla extract; it’s worth giving some of these a try if you’re looking to try something new.



Some additions to your coffee can even enhance health or reduce the number of calories you take in with each cup, making these ingredients worth exploring. Below we’ll take a look at some of these extras you can add to your coffee in a cafe, or at home.

CLASSIC CREAM

Just about everyone knows that cream is classically added to coffees such as cappuccinos in many cafes. It’s a popular addition because the sweetness of the cream contrasts well with the bitterness of the coffee, it’s also popular because chocolate powders and such can be easily sprinkled on top.

The next time you’re visiting your local cafe for a delicious coffee, try asking for some cream if you haven’t tried it before. We’re betting you’ll love the taste!

TRY CINNAMON

While it’s less common, some people like to add cinnamon to their coffee to add a new dimension of flavour. It also makes a great sugar substitute, so it can be perfect to add to your coffee if your goal is to lose weight, you’d be surprised how many calories you drink up through sugar.

There are also health benefits associated with consuming cinnamon, which further adds to its usefulness as a sugar substitute. One great health benefit of cinnamon includes a stronger immune system.

FIND SOME VANILLA EXTRACT

Just like cinnamon, vanilla extract can be a fantastic alternative to sugar, allowing you to enjoy a sweet vanilla-tasting coffee, without the calorie-rich sugar affecting your diet. Apart from the reduction in calories, the main advantage of using this ingredient is purely because of the new vanilla taste, with or without sugar it can make a nice coffee taste even nicer.

Most people have vanilla extract lying around for making cakes and other sweet foods, so why not fish it out of the cupboard and try it in your next coffee?

ADD A LITTLE COCONUT MILK

For those of you who want to enjoy a white coffee without any dairy products, try adding some coconut milk instead. Naturally, it’s also a fantastic idea if you’re a fan of the taste of coconut which tends to go well with coffee.

Coconut milk is often used in dishes such as curries, so if you have some left over from making a meal, add some to your coffee and give it a try; you just might find that you prefer it over your usual milk.

TRY ADDING SOME EXTRAS TO YOUR NEXT COFFEE SOON

The fun part of adding these extras to your coffees is finding some really delicious combinations to use when you fancy a little change now and again. We recommend trying each of the above ingredients in your coffee, then combining some of them for a new flavour if you’re feeling adventurous.

Good Cup Coffee Company hopes you find some really delicious combinations of ingredients to add to your coffee, there are thousands of combinations out there waiting to be tasted.

Essential Coffee Accessories for Cafes


It doesn’t matter if you’re a small local cafe who has been serving the area for years, or if you’re part of a large franchise selling coffee to thousands of customers, having the right equipment and supplies is what makes the real difference in customer satisfaction.

One of the most significant factors in providing a quality coffee and service to your customers is having the right equipment and accessories at hand, from specialised mugs to a range of tasty syrups. Not only does this allow the customer more choice and options when they enter your establishment, it also gives them the impression that your cafe goes the extra mile to ensure they enjoy their time in your cafe.



By finding a well-established coffee supplier that also provides high-quality coffee accessories, you can begin to increase customer satisfaction, as well as the number of customers you’ll receive from positive word-of-mouth. Below you’ll see some of the essential coffee accessories we believe every cafe should have.

Specialised Coffee Mugs

You’re not really getting the authentic coffee experience if you are drinking espressos, cappuccinos and americanos from the same types of mug in a cafe. Each of these coffees were made to be drank from specific types of mug to match their quantity, consistency, and appearance. If you’re not serving cappuccinos in cappuccino mugs, then you are not offering customers the genuine Italian coffee experience.

This may not sound like an important factor, however, you would be surprised how much a quality mug increases customers’ satisfaction with their coffee purchase. Consider ordering a range of specialised mugs to suit your different types of coffee from a trusted coffee accessory supplier.

A Range of Syrup Flavours


It’s no secret that customers like to have options and variety, especially when it comes to their coffee. Stocking up on a range of tasty syrups is a great way to give them this variety.

It’s also not uncommon for a cappuccino-lover to want to try a little vanilla or hazelnut syrup in their hot beverage now and again, those customers will remember who offered them this delicious little extra. It’s certainly an area worth investing in as it isn’t expensive to bring this dimension of variety to your cafe.

Biodegradable Takeaway Cups

Many who frequent cafes are those on their daily commute to work who need a delicious coffee to start their day off. The modem world is a busy place and often times people want their coffee to-go, that’s why every effective cafe should stock takeaway cups.

Not just plastic takeaway cups though, cafes should make the pledge to only use biodegradable cups which will prevent irreversible damage to the environment. Not only will this do the Earth a whole lot of good, customers will also realise that you’re playing your part for the environment and this may be what influences their decision to keep returning. It’s a win-win really.

Coffee Delivered by Your Reliable Coffee Supplier

If your company or organisation requires quality coffee in a timely and convenient manner, requesting the services of a reliable coffee supplier is the best way to get what you need.

There are many factors which come together to make a reliable coffee supplier, from having excellent customer service skills to offering competitive pricing and deals on quick delivery. When looking around the web for the best coffee suppliers, make sure to consider these aspects when coming to a decision.



Below we’ll be taking a look at 3 things that make for a reliable coffee supplier.

PROVEN CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS


A reliable coffee supplier will have a reputation for excellent customer service skills, there are a number of ways you can find out if the supplier you are considering actually possesses these skills.

One way in which to find this out is by looking for reviews and testimonials online. This way you get a first-hand description of someone’s experience using that supplier’s services. Remember to read multiple testimonials to get a balanced view however.

The second way to find this out is by taking a chance and ordering from the supplier, this is the most simple and easy way to find out if you would use this supplier again in the future in regards to their customer service skills.

QUICK & LOW-PRICED DELIVERY


Two things come to mind when considering having your coffee supplies delivered to you; is it cost-effective? And is it going to take long?

The best online coffee suppliers will offer you free delivery if your order exceeds a certain threshold, this is a great opportunity for you to save money while getting quality coffee supplies.

Reliable coffee suppliers will have your coffee supplies delivered to you as soon as physically possible, this is usually 1 to 3 business days. Be sure to note that a reliable coffee supplier will be able to tell you exactly when to expect your supplies to appear.

QUALITY PRODUCTS AS SPECIFIED
Not only should a reliable coffee supplier’s products be of fantastic quality, they should also be exactly as described on their website. If the supplies are lacking in quality or quantity from what was shown on their marketplace, you should avoid that supplier in the future as this is definitely not a sign of good customer service.

With Good Cup Coffee Company, you will always receive exactly what you have ordered, often with free delivery that makes it to you in no time at all.
