Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Willow Tree Community Centre in Cardiff was looking to upgrade the beverage offering for their weekly gatherings and  events. They needed a simple, cost-effective decaf option that was a step up from generic supermarket brands but didn't require any special equipment.

"We serve dozens of teas and  coffees every day, and  a surprising number of our visitors ask for decaf. The Cafe Etc granules were the perfect find. It's quick to make, tastes great, and  the big tub means we're not constantly running to the shops. It's just simple, good coffee."

Robert Green – Facilities Manager

The centre successfully improved its visitor satisfaction scores for refreshments and  reduced its monthly spend on individual coffee sachets by over 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting the Best Brew

  • Always use a clean, dry spoon to scoop the granules.
  • For the best flavour, use fresh water that has just boiled, not re-boiled water from the kettle.
  • Follow the recommended serving of around one teaspoon (1.8g) per cup, adjusting to taste.
  • Stir well until all the granules have completely dissolved.

Keeping It Fresh

  • Always snap the resealable lid on tightly immediately after use.
  • Store the tub in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and  strong odours.
  • Avoid storing it next to ovens or other sources of heat and  steam.
  • Check the best-before date on the base to ensure optimal freshness.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Coffee

Not sure which coffee is the right fit for your business? Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide.

Volume vs. Craft

For high-volume, rapid service like buffets or staff rooms, instant coffee is unbeatable for speed and  simplicity. For front-of-house café service, beans offer a more premium, aromatic experience.

Caffeine & Choice

Always offer a decaffeinated option! Many customers choose decaf for health or preference reasons. Having a quality choice like these instant decaffeinated coffee for cafes shows you cater to everyone.

Packaging & Storage

Large, resealable tubs are perfect for back-of-house as they reduce waste and  cost. Individual sachets are better for hotel rooms or self-contained service trays for portion control and  hygiene.

Required Equipment

Be realistic about your setup. Instant coffee only needs a kettle. If you opt for beans, you'll need a commercial grinder and  an espresso or filter machine, plus staff training.

Know Your Customer

A construction site canteen and  a boutique hotel have very different expectations. Match your coffee offering to what your specific customers will appreciate and  expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this coffee freeze-dried or spray-dried?

A: This is a high-quality, freeze-dried instant coffee, a process which is better at preserving the coffee's natural flavour and  aroma.

Q: How many servings are in one 500g tub?

A: Based on a standard serving of 1.8g per cup, you can expect to make approximately 277 cups of coffee from a single tub.

Q: Is the plastic tub recyclable?

A: Yes, the tub and  lid are widely recyclable in the UK. Please clean it and  check with your local council's recycling guidelines.

Q: What is the ideal water temperature for this coffee?

A: For the best taste, use hot water that is just off the boil, ideally between 92°C and  96°C. Boiling water can scorch the granules.

Q: What does the code 'HT323' refer to?

A: HT323 is the specific SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) or manufacturer's product code used to identify this particular blend of Cafe Etc coffee.

Q: Is this a dark or medium roast coffee?

A: It has a balanced, medium-roast profile, which gives it a smooth, satisfying flavour that isn't too strong or bitter, making it perfect for a wide audience.

Why a Resealable Tub is a Kitchen Essential

Think of coffee granules like a sponge for air and  moisture. In a busy commercial kitchen, odours from cooking and  moisture in the air are everywhere. If your coffee container is left open or isn't airtight, those granules will quickly absorb everything, which dulls the flavour and  can make the coffee taste stale or 'off'. A resealable tub, like the one on this Cafe Etc Blue decaf coffee, acts like a personal vault for your coffee. Every time you snap that lid shut, you're locking out the enemies of freshness. This incredibly simple feature drastically reduces waste and  guarantees that the last spoonful from the tub tastes just as rich and  aromatic as the first, ensuring a consistently good cup for every single person.

    An essential for in-room beverage trays and  for the self-service breakfast buffet station.
