Carbonated Coffee: The Rise of The Bubbly Brew

Are you a coffee enthusiast who can’t imagine waking up without their morning cup of coffee? Well, have we got news for you! 

Your mornings are about to get a lot better with the new sparkling coffee that’s quickly taking over the coffee world today. Haven’t heard of it before? Allow us to elaborate:

What Is Sparkling Coffee?

Sparkling coffee is also known as carbonated coffee and is basically a bubbly, iced Americano made of coffee and soda-water. Sparkling coffee is becoming the new morning buzz for many people who’re being inventive about the taste of their coffee—from bitter taste to citrus splashes, they’re coming up with all kinds of new flavors.

What Makes the Bubbly-Coffee So Special?

A lot of people just like the idea of bubbles in their drink—think about it; isn’t a carbonated soft-drink better than a non-fizzy one? And isn’t sparkling water so much more fun than regular water? Besides the fact that the fizziness adds to the drinking experience, there’s also reason to believe that carbonation adds to the taste as well. 

How Is Carbonated Coffee Made?

There are two common ways to make bubbly coffee. With the first method, the coffee is simply cold-brewed or an espresso shot is chilled; in the second method, a soda topping is added to coffee that’s been poured into a glass with ice. The topping can also be of seltzer water or tonic water. This is followed by a mild addition of citrus (lemon or lime wedge), finished with syrup, and voila! Your bubbly-coffee is ready, or what’s more commonly known as coffee soda.

Another method is to cold-brew the coffee with tonic-water and refrigerate it in a tightly covered container to prevent the coffee from going flat. You may then proceed to add any finishing touches of your preference, like adding citrus to keep it from becoming too sweet.

And if you’re feeling extra perky, you can customize your bubbly-coffee with your favorite soft drink. In case you want an extra buzz, you can choose a soft drink with a higher concentration of caffeine, which will compound the amount of caffeine in your drink.

Get The Tiny Bubbles At Home!

 You can’t always go to Starbucks to fulfill your nitro coffee craving. The easiest way to get the very popular nitro-coffee-like creamy, fizzy mixture at home is to use one of those whipped cream dispensers that you probably already have at home. 

All you have to do is go about making your cold-brew the usual way and pour it into your whipped cream dispenser. Then follow the instructions on your dispenser like you normally would and tada! You have your very own homemade nitro-coffee.

The Trick to Marketing: How to Promote Coffee to Coffee Haters

It’s never too late to bring a person over from the dark side. And with something as tempting as coffee on offer, it shouldn’t even be a problem.

Yet, there will always be some who for various reasons have never been coffee lovers.

So how do you market your fundraising coffee to such a group?

Here are a few ideas and tricks that work on all; coffee lovers and non-coffee lovers!

Get the Best

More often than not, people end up hating coffee because they had a bad experience with it to begin with. They might have had bitter, black coffee the first time around, used stale beans, or added too much water.

To combat the memories of such experiences, you have to give these groups a positive reason to try coffee again. Enter top quality coffee!

With great tasting coffee on offer, you can tempt them into giving it another try. When marketing the product, show them firsthand what makes your coffee better. Show them when the coffee was roasted, if it has special flavors, etc. Do whatever you can to get their attention and gain their trust.

Find Specialty Coffee

Everyone has different tastes.

Some like the bitter taste of plain black, while others like to drown their coffee in sugar and milk. And then there are those who want coffee with a unique delicious flavor. So give them what they want.

If you’re ordering coffee from JavaJavaMoola, choose some crowd-favorite options such as our top-sellers like the French roast, Colombian Decaf, JavaJavaMoola blend, Jamaican Me Crazy, French Vanilla, Hazelnut Crème or Butterscotch Toffee.

Take their taste buds on a ride!

Offer a How-To Guide

Another mistake most people make is not making their coffee right. Target that demographic and offer them a basic tutorial on how to make great-tasting coffee.

Add in different methods, whether they’re dealing with a  medium, light or dark roast, which sugar tastes best, which additional flavor can take their coffee to the next level, which type of milk works best with different types of roasts, how to store coffee, how to detect if your coffee has become stale, etc. Make it easily understandable and fun.

You want to make your product and campaign as engaging as possible, so go the extra mile!

Promoting Your Coffee Fundraiser — 4 Ways to Attract Attention

You’d think that with something as appetizing as coffee, the product would sell itself.

Yet, even with your faith in the popularity of this much-loved beverage, the truth is that unless you advertise your coffee properly, customers will go to greener pastures for their daily caffeine hit.

To make your job easier, here are some ways you can bring the people’s attention to your coffee fundraiser.

1. Beauty of Coffee in Action

Imagine the scene; the sun is shining, a crowd is making its way to you. You brew some coffee in a French press or a coffee maker, and let the fragrance of its freshness waft through.

People slow down. They turn to the table you’re brewing coffee on that has your non-profit’s logo on it. They buy a bag or two while you tell them about your cause. Tempted by the smell and taste, they stay put, listening to you. If possible, they even end up donating more to your fundraiser, feeling positively chuffed that they got some amazing coffee out of it.

This is how you use the enticing power of coffee to sell it.

2. Leaning on BOGOF Deals

No matter how rich they are or how much coffee they already have, a true caffeine lover will not pass on a chance to get a bag of coffee free when they purchase one. If you’ve ordered more coffee than you need, use this chance to sell big and get people’s attention.

When you have limited extra stock, advertise the prospect of the first 100 customers getting free bags of delicious Arabica coffee.

Really focus on its origin and deliciousness. Paired it with a tag that says ‘Free’ you’ll be dealing with a big crowd who’ll want to get in on the action before it’s all sold out.

3. Make a Package Out of it

This is a great idea if you have a bigger budget.

Instead of hosting a large event and spending your money all in one go, it’s much better to be creative with your fundraising product. With the coffee you get from JavaJavaMoola, add some specialty coffee related items like a nice mug with your non-profit’s information on it, a mug warmer, or wood stirrers with the deal and advertise a unique coffee-themed package which works perfectly as a gift, or just a little something you’d want to treat yourself with.

Even if the price is higher, with the products you’ll be selling, the overall value of the package will speak for itself.

4. A Little Something Extra

Ask yourself; what could be better than 100 percent pure Arabica coffee that’s affordable to boot?

100 percent pure Arabica coffee that’s available in different roasts and exotic flavors!

While you can get good coffee just about anywhere, premium roasts and great flavors aren’t as easily accessible. By offering specialty coffees in unique flavors like Dutch Apple Crumb, French Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry or even Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble, you’ll be giving coffee lovers something different to taste.

And with such crowd-favorite flavors, you’ll definitely have people coming back to buy extra bags.

Does Packaging Matter? How to Choose the Right Coffee Packaging

When it comes to storing coffee, the jury is still out on what the best method is.

Is it better to store your coffee in glass jars? Is it a bit too kitschy to store your beans in a paper bag? Whatever your preferred method is, the world is still divided on this topic.

And for a non-profit that’s about to use coffee for fundraising, the storage debate can cause a few problems.

So what’s the solution to this problem? Let’s investigate.

The One Factor to Rule Them All

The short answer is that it’s largely dependent on the type of coffee being packaged. You have to ask yourself if the coffee is freshly roasted and if so, when will it be sold and delivered?

Even freshly-roasted coffee can get stale fairly quickly, meaning that getting it to the end user quickly is critical. This is why it’s important that if you’re going to be selling coffee, you not only order it at the right time so it arrives just in time for your fundraiser, but you also choose a provider with a packaging that preserves its aroma and flavor.

However, be warned that despite your best efforts and top-quality packaging, this feature alone will not be able to preserve the quality of the coffee forever. Yes, it will prevent exposure to oxygen, will contain the coffee oils, and will protect the beans from breaking during transportation.

So what’s the Solution?

As stated above, one thing you have to do besides ordering the coffee at the right time is to be sure that your customers get freshly roasted coffee. JavaJavaMoola FUNdraising roasts your coffee when you place your order so you know you are getting the freshest coffee possible.

Let’s Get Started!

Now that you know the secret, contact JavaJavaMoola and order your coffee.

If needed, talk to a representative about the right time for your order and be sure to give us the information we need to make your custom label.

With our quality bags, delicious coffee and streamlined ordering system, you should have no problem getting the best products for your fundraiser!

Practical Design Tips for Coffee Bag Labels

Practical Design Tips for Coffee Bag Labels

While coffee is perhaps one of the most complex flavors out there, you can’t have the same level of complexity reflect in its product label design.

Simplicity is beauty when it comes to marketing. And with coffee bag labels, this simplicity has to deliver the message clearly. Although this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be a bit creative with the design. But if push comes to shove, it would be best to incorporate symmetry and sharp, clean edges on your coffee label, rather than flora and fauna.

Keeping that in mind, here are some tips on making coffee labels from JavaJavaMoola that should help you create a pleasing, fresh and original design.

Choose an Appealing Color

Coffee can be aggressive in flavor, to say the least.

But this aggressiveness does not have to carry into its labeling. One or two pops of color maximum will do the trick. Primary colors such as blue, green, red or yellow combined with the classic brown or black coffee hues will make the product appear bright and cheery without seeming too extreme.

Find a Suitable Font

When in doubt, go for cursive fonts. Elegant and simple, cursive fonts are easy to read as well, although if you want to give your label a bit of a modern edge, you could simply go with Sans Serif fonts.

When choosing lettering, always try to choose a font that’s not too thin or compact. Otherwise the customer might not be able to read it. And don’t stick to default fonts. No one likes to see an elegant coffee ruined by a Comic Sans font.

Think Before Adding a Graphic

Do your research well beforehand to make sure there’s no resemblance to any other brand design or label. This’ll save you from any copyright restrictions. When incorporating a symbol though, try to use it as a visual aid, something that allows the customer to identify the symbol with the brand’s goal, company culture or the cause you’re raising funds for. This’ll allow them to make a personal connection with the product, and the company.

Add Scenery for Inspiration

Given that you’ve imported your company from JavaJavaMoola, you’ll be receiving product that would be taken from the coffee belt, which comprises of a number of countries where coffee is specially cultivated. If possible, try to use the scenery from these countries in the background of the label to give consumers some valuable information about the coffee’s origin.

Make it Unique in Shape

The typical shape of a coffee label is square, as it goes around a bottle or on the front of a bag. But there is no set rule that says that you can only use a rectangle label. Going with shapes like ovals, circles, inverted triangles and many more will make your coffee bag even more appealing and eye-catching.
