HoReCa coffee

Whoever seeks will always find! And you have found where to buy HoReCa coffee! On this page, we tell you about the range of products Gemini has in stock, why thousands and thousands of customers in Ukraine and other countries choose to work with our Ukrainian coffee and tea company, and how your business can effectively choose a coffee product.

Types of HoReCa coffee at Gemini

Let’s start with the fact that there are various botanical species of coffee in the world. You’re probably aware of that. The most popular among them are Arabica and Robusta, which account for about 98% of the global market. But there are also others, such as Liberica, Eugenioides, and more (there are more than 100 species suitable for human consumption, but only about a dozen are commercially cultivated). Since only Arabica and Robusta are widely known to the general consumer in Ukraine, we will focus on these.

Gemini’s product range consists of pure Arabica, pure Robusta, and their blends. HoReCa coffee is blends that suit most mass-market needs. Blends are created to enhance the delicate aroma of Arabica, strengthen its taste, which some consumers find too mild, and to some extent increase the caffeine content, as Robusta has 1.5-2 times more caffeine compared to Arabica.

If your establishment serves customers who mainly drink espresso-based drinks, i.e., milk/sugar/syrups are added, there is no practical sense in focusing on Arabica: these additives significantly mask its original flavor, so it becomes effectively muted. Therefore, blends with a high (up to 70%) Robusta content would be suitable for you in this case.

If you make pure drinks for coffee connoisseurs who can easily distinguish medium-quality beans from Brazil from high-quality beans from Colombia or Ethiopia, then your choice is undoubtedly pure Arabica. It is more expensive and valued precisely because it allows people to distinguish numerous flavor notes. Your HoReCa coffee choice in this case is 100% Arabica, which you can buy in our online coffee store in a wide variety.

If you operate in the lower and middle segments of the mass market, where taste quality does not really matter to people, you can confidently choose pure Robusta or blends with the highest possible Robusta content (80% or 90%). This will reduce your purchasing costs and give you a product that smells strongly, has a concentrated coffee flavor, and contains a lot of caffeine, which people need to wake up quickly or stay awake for a long time (ideal for drivers, for example).

Regardless of what you choose as an expendable material for running your business, we have many reliable suppliers of such beans from dozens of countries around the world. Therefore, we always have HoReCa coffee of any quality level and purity in stock. And, accordingly, prices.

How to choose and buy HoReCa coffee?

As for the form factor of the product available to us, it includes:

• Whole-bean coffee for restaurants
• Ground coffee for cafeterias
• Coffee pods for cafes.

Each type of coffee has its advantages and usage features.

Whole-bean coffee is purchased for automatic machines equipped with a grinding option. The result is the freshest and tastiest coffee. If you have a machine without a grinding option and no standalone coffee grinder, then ground beans are your finest choice. Depending on your coffee brewing method, we offer the appropriate roast and grind level to make it possible to release the taste intended by the specific brewing method.

If your establishment has a machine that works with cialdas (a.k.a. chialdas—pressed ground coffee tablets, similar to capsule/pod machines), then it would be advisable to purchase these. They retain their freshness for a long time because each tablet is individually packaged in an air-tight foil packet. When you open it, you get a fresh coffee tablet and can prepare an aromatic beverage for your customers at a pleasant price.

As for the weight of our HoReCa coffee, we work with packaging designed for businesses. Often, these are one-kilogram packs, which are easy and convenient for baristas or other staff members to handle.

Below we will consider what Gemini can offer you in terms of choosing wholesale HoReCa coffee.

Additionally, we maintain warehouse stocks, so we can guarantee that our coffee never runs out—if a specific package of coffee is not in stock, a similar one of the same or very close cost, variety, and composition will perfectly replace it for your business needs.

Therefore, you can always buy coffee from Gemini, with delivery or self-pickup.

If you don’t know which beans to buy as HoReCa coffee, we can thoroughly consult you on the taste qualities of beans from different countries, as there are differences. Pure Arabica varies the most (Robusta is more universal in its uniformity, having far fewer taste and aroma differences depending on the region of origin than Arabica).
