10 DON'TS at a Coffee Shop

In the modern world, the cafes are no longer just small shops to buy something quick and follow the routine. Nowadays they are respectable, bohemian and, especially, pleasant establishments, which present the perfect opportunity to enjoy the free time we have; since whether to go meditate while drinking a latte, have a romantic date with a cup of java and a good companion, or simply to take the family for a coffee at the end of the week.

There is another type of clientele that abounds in cafes, these are freelancers or people who have a remote job, these people usually go to cafes to enjoy the inspiration and relaxation that these environments provide, as well as to taste some coffee or eat a snack while they work on their next project.

The cafes, as well as the roads, have a peak hour, which makes them more crowded at a certain time of the day, giving more work to the baristas and reducing the space of the premises.

Before all these situations and types of clientele, we decided to dedicate today's article to talk about some things we can avoid doing in a cafe, either work or go for leisure. It doesn’t matter if you are a busy freelancer or a regular client or someone who visits the premises for the first time, we can always do our part, so the experience of going to a cafe is as pleasant as possible.

10 don’ts that you can avoid next time you go to a coffee shop

Dear reader, the following is a list of things That Coffee Roasters has structured to ensure that the experience of enjoying a coffee in a local will be as pleasant as possible, as long as you put your part to avoid doing these things that we mention.

1. Don’t bring food and drinks from another store. Especially if the food you bought is on the actual menu of the coffee shop you’re at, this shows cheapness, and it might offend the staff.
2. Don’t flirt with the baristas (not too much, at least). Yes, baristas can be gorgeous, but, if you really want to flirt with them, then wait until they’re not busy. Avoid taking too much of their time while there’s a long line, if you do, you might embarrass yourself when the barista says “no.”
3. Don’t be loud. There’s nothing more annoying when you would like to work or relax in a coffee shop, than another customer having a rather loud conversation on the phone. Keep your voice to yourself, or if you can, answer your call outside. Also, if you’re going to listen to music (which is valid), PLEASE use your headphones for it.
4. Don’t hoard the seats. This is a tip for peak hours mostly. Just avoid using an extra chair for your backpack and another one for your grocery bags, things like that make the difference.
5. Don’t use a whole table for yourself. You're one person, how much space can you really need? Don’t occupy a table for four with your laptop, briefcase, papers, etc. Leave some area for other customers. Save a chair if you’re waiting for someone.
6. Don’t buy a single shot and then camp in the shop for three hours for the wi-fi. Simple. The rule of thumb is that you should order at least one coffee for every three hours you’ll be staying.
7. Don’t mess around with the outlets. Avoid creating trip lines across the floor, also avoid at all costs unplugging store lamps to charge your devices. That messes with the atmosphere and can really be annoying to people who think long and hard about how their space should feel and appear.
8. Don’t be cheap with the tips. If you’re a regular customer, make a point of tipping the staff in a fair fashion, even if you only order drip coffee. They’ll notice, and in turn, will be more likely treat you better with each visit.
9. Don’t abuse the wifi. Have some bandwidth limits. Don’t download huge torrents or stream a whole Netflix movie over the coffee shop’s internet connection, because it may slow down access for the other customers who have the right to use it as much as you do.
10. Don’t be afraid to talk to others. A coffee shop is a place for social interaction, use that space for meeting new people, be nice to them and who knows what might happen!

Remember, the key is to be kind, respectful and conscious. Please let us know your opinions on the corresponding section and don’t forget to follow us at our That Coffee Roasters social networks!

Coffee Science: Why Can People Be Allergic to Caffeine

Stop wondering if you're to become allergic to coffee someday, with this article we've prepared for you.

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world; people of all ages have acquired a taste for it, and every day the number of lovers of its flavor and variety grows. With this in mind, it is strange to think that there could be a negative side to coffee; however, discoveries are constantly made, and many of them involve the world of coffee. In this vein, in today’s blog, That Coffee Roasters expands your knowledge and tells you everything you should know about the unknown coffee allergies.

Can people suffer from coffee allergy?

Although it may not be known, the reality is that some people may be allergic to coffee. However, surprisingly few cases have been reported, and they could be linked to two different coffee-related situations. In the first case, it may be due to occupational allergy, generated by exposure to an agent present in the working environment; and in the second case, it can be related to a caffeine reaction.

According to the study “Cof a 1: Identification, Expression and Immunoreactivity of the First Coffee Allergen”, published in 2012 by the International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, since the 1950s and 1960s, cases of occupational allergy, caused by raw coffee beans and the dust of roasted beans, have been reported in coffee plant workers. In this context, these workers often suffer from nasal allergies, asthma, and conjunctivitis.

The study was able to identify for the first time an allergen that causes the mentioned allergy. Nevertheless, it should be noted that coffee allergy is only detected in workers who come into contact with the raw beans. During the tests, the workers who participated in the study had no allergy symptoms when drinking coffee.

As far as allergic reactions caused by caffeine are concerned, some cases have been detected. Although rare, some people have experienced allergy symptoms such as anaphylaxis, skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea when trying caffeinated foods and beverages. As has been said, these reactions are infrequent and have to do specifically with caffeine not with coffee directly. It is noteworthy that other reported cases are probably due to a widespread confusion between coffee allergy and caffeine intolerance or sensitivity.

Coffee allergy or coffee sensitivity?

Usually, many people who suffer from intolerance or sensitivity to caffeine often mistakenly believe that coffee causes allergy. These two situations imply entirely different symptoms, and it is necessary to understand the difference to find the right solution.

The most common symptoms of intolerance are anxiety, insomnia, stomach cramps, irritability, migraines, palpitations, and racing heart. These manifestations may vary according to the affected person and can be controlled by decreasing or avoiding the consumption of caffeinated beverages. In the end, it is a question of how much caffeine and coffee it is advisable to consume and not which allergens cause coffee allergic reactions.

Signature Blends Produced by That Coffee Roasters

These are the main blends That Coffee Roasters produce and commercialize.

In the business of coffee, knowledge acts as a way to stand out in the market. That, of course, assuming you seek not only to provide a service but something much more valuable. This is the reason why That Coffee Roasters stands out above others, as they seek to let their viewers know a little more about the coffee they’re buying. Today, you’ll know some of the coffee blends produced by them, in the hope you’ll find them of your interest.

But before we get into it, it’s important to know each roast first. If you’ve been to a coffee store and you’re offered a sample book, you’ll notice that they all differ in coloration. Seeing each bean, you can notice that under them there’s a label with different names: French, Colombian, Latino, Italian, and others. All these names do not attribute to the source of the beans, but to the amount of time they were exposed to the roasting process.

The scale of roast begins with the green beans. While being exposed to the process, they go from light brown to medium brown, then dark brown to nearly black. Colombian roast is usually related to a light brown roast, while Italian roast is darker in color.

Coffee blends are mixtures of two or more coffees from different categories. The reason for blends resides in the creation of new combinations, obtaining a flavor that wouldn’t be the same as the one of a single-origin coffee. For industries who sell massive amounts of coffee, it is also a way to cut costs and still get quality products.

That Coffee Roasters produce and sell several blends to industries and businesses, and each of these has their own secret of success (which I’m not allowed to tell). The signature coffee blends they sell are the following: Breakfast, Colombian, Espresso Italiano, Latino and Gourmet. All of these with select green beans that undergo a professional roasting procedure very characteristic to their brand, giving off premium results.

Do you want to know about – or have a taste of – their products? If you’re not convinced yet, you could try a free sample of the blend you’re interested in. It’s up to you to choose between products that follow higher standards or just commercial, common coffee. That Coffee Roasters have it for you, all packed and ready to go!
