Allthebest,The team at Beyond the Bean

Welcome to the latest edition of our catalogue, which includes everything you need to run a successful coffee business. Whether you’ve been in business for years or are thinking of starting your first venture, you’ll find all the drinks, gear and knowledge you need.

Drinks. Gear. Knowledge.

Our gear section contains all the essentials for making great espresso based drinks.

We really understand the importance of quality equipment; that’s why we take our time sourcing, testing, finding out customers’ opinions and then testing some more before we make any final decisions. Not every product we test reaches our standards or is exactly what we are looking for, so we commission gear to our own designs. We know our customers are professionals needing professional kit and that’s what we supply every time.

Through our involvement in barista championships around the world we’ve seen first hand the difference a good jug can make. We had to search far and wide to find these jugs as we found that many available on the market really didn’t make the grade (it’s amazing how many of them just don’t pour properly). These Motta pitchers are excellent for milk

rotation and have a more pointed spout that pours smoothly and neatly. The standard for any barista, and also perfect for the most advanced latte art.

Jugs perfect for latte art, thermometers to steam milk to the perfect temperature, all quality gear that withstands not only rigorous BTB testing, but also the test of time.

Using professional kit for your business not only helps with the quality of your drinks, but adds a touch of professionalism to the workplace. We’ve been using both these items since we started the business ten years ago and have yet to find anything better.

Cream whipperUse this swanky little number to add freshly whipped cream to hot chocolates, mochas, frappés, milkshakes – just about anything! You could take it one step further – try adding a little syrup to flavour up your cream (for example, vanilla works nicely). The whipper is easy to clean and maintain. And best of all, it’s great for cream fights (although obviously BTB do not condone any such tomfoolery in a professional workplace).

Sauce pumpThis heavy duty stainless steel pump will dose your chocolate sauces accurately and effortlessly time after time. It looks good, it works great, and it has a range of low-cost replacement parts for occasional maintenance.

One of our favourite things about the guys and girls at Blendtec is that they don’t take themselves too seriously. Their ‘Will it Blend’ series became one of the most viewed downloads on the web in 200�. See for yourself at willitblend.com – and remember, don’t try this at home…

Sshhhh...

Blended drinks account for more than 30% of summer drinks sales in coffee bars and cafes. You can offer an almost infinite range of smoothies and frappés to generate cash all summer (and winter too). That’s why your choice of blending equipment is such a big deal for your business.

The new Q-seriesWith the development of the Q-seriessound reduction technology, Blendteccontinue to deliver industry leadingperformance. Known as the ‘strongsilent type’ the Q-series has anoise reduction of up to 10 decibels, roughly half the noise of a normal blender. As with all Blendtec models it can bemounted in-counter.

The Q-series new jar design offers improved overall performance and durability. The shape of the stainless steel blending platform dampens sound and drains liquid away from the blender drive socket. With a breakthrough fan design, improved motor air flow and cooling capacity, the Q-series really is the quietest you will find.

24 www.beyondthebean.com +44 (0)117 �53 3522 25

Q-series blenderBTBGear

The blade tips rotate at over 200 miles per hour, using 2,000 watts of power. Crikey. Metal to metal direct drive contact means longer lasting equipment, meaning less investment for your business. The

‘sound enclosure’ reduces blending noise by about 30%. All Blendtec blenders have pre-programmed variable speed auto shut off drinks cycles that ensure consistently blended drinks every time.

Blendtec blenders are designed for high volume production of ice blended drinks. They’re the worldwide industry standard and are powerful, tough and clever too.

All Blendtec blenders from Beyond the Bean come with 2 jars and 2 lids as standard.

Since its launch we’ve seen Sweetbird go from strength to strength. Use Sweetbird syrups and sauces to create flavoured espresso based drinks or deliciously different hot chocolates. They’re great for cold drinks too, including iced teas, granitas, milkshakes and sparklers. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination!

Syrups All 33 flavours of original and 5 flavours of sugar free Sweetbird syrups are approved by the Vegetarian Society and are free from GMOs and artificial flavours and colourings. If you need further inspiration have a look at sweetbirdsyrups.com for hundreds of recipe ideas and details of the posters, menus and table toppers available in the funky Sweetbird style... Gingerbread latte anyone?

Sauces Uncompromisingly tasty, sweet and sumptuous, Sweetbird sauces are rich and delicious and exactly what you want from a sauce. Use them to make the classic Caramel Macchiato, hot chocolates, sweet coffee concoctions and even milkshakes. You can mix them up in the drink like syrup or drizzle over the top as a final touch. And they’re easily dispensed with a portion control pump from a compact stand that sits neatly on your counter.

A great alternative to tea or coffee, chai is a spiced milk tea traditionally handmade with various spices, varying from region to region around India. The most common ingredients are cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and pepper.

Zuma have developed their own recipe, available in three flavours and packed in distinctively designed, easy to use single serve sachets. This also gives your customers the opportunity to take a box home to enjoy!

Chai has been a favourite spiced drink in India for centuries and is emerging as the next big trend in the speciality coffee arena.Made with a blend of exotic spices, we recommend chai for anyone in need of comfort, energy and a dash of happiness.

Island Rose TeaIsland Rose has an extraordinary range of flavours, full of interesting mixes and clever combinations. Their fruit teas are made with actual fruit (relatively uncommon in the world of tea). Taste something like their Orange Fountain fruit tea and you’ll see exactly what we mean. Their green and black teas all have a single estate origin, and all teas are guaranteed free of pesticides and residues. Island Rose teas are great iced too – just brew up 1 litre of boiling water with four or five teabags (depending on required strength). Chill in the fridge, and then serve over ice and fresh lemon slices. Mmmmmm.

TeaspoonA special teaspoon, not just a spoon to stir, but also to filter. Just fill the spoon with tea leaves, pour in boiling water into the cup and relax as the tea aroma dilutes through the specially designed pores. Made of fine grade silicone rubber, the teaspoon can stand up to 250°C. Get them in the full range of colours to really brighten up your customers’ day, or if you’re just looking for something a little funkier! As with the Teastick, they make great gifts or products to sell on.

Teastick We love innovative gadgets at Beyond the Bean and this one is no exception. Tea drinking has never been so stylish with this contemplative toy which infuses clouds of flavour before your eyes. Its cool “scoop-slide-steep” functionality, together with a stainless steel construction, means your loose tea drinking is a pleasure, no longer the messy business it used to be. It fits nicely into most glasses and mugs, and makes a lovely gift for staff and friends alike, or even to sell on to customers.

Biscotti originated as off-cuts from the edges of trays of biscuits, hence being slightly crunchier. Nikola’s are handmade following a century-old method, using premium ingredients, in a range of spectacular flavours using pistachio, chocolate, raspberries, hazelnuts, apricots and more. Kosher certified and double baked for dunking durability, we think you’ll be pushed to find a better quality biscotti.

We’ve been working with our old friends at Nikola’s (and eating their biscotti) for years – and we still think they’re the best.

Where would we be without coffee to go? If you are looking for funky designs, great insulation or just something bright to liven up your business, we have cups for every taste and style.

Solo cups have earned their place as the industry standard. They’re made from particularly fluffy fibres, resulting in thicker, tougher card, and they’re used by some of the world’s most demanding customers. If they’re good enough for them, we think you’ll like them too.

This year we’ve developed a new design for the unique Ripple-Wrap cups from our friends at Detpak. Providing increased comfort and insulation, the cups come with a contemporary illustrated ‘50 cups’ design suited to any stylish establishment.

Clear Eco-cups The facility to separate rubbish for recycling when we are out and about is rarely available so although some cups can be recycled, it’s not always possible when you are on the go. That’s the beauty of this product. A fully compostable cold drink cup made entirely from natural corn starches and therefore renewable annually through harvests. Within 50 days (yes, really) there will be nothing left of the cup.

The benefits of this are multiple including reduced fossil fuel usage, and decreased landfill contamination. 100% compostable with a crystal clear, slanted rib design and a smooth rolled rim – what more could you ask for?

Eco-sleeveAs with our new eco-cups, these sleeves are 100% biodegradable. The only sleeve certified by the Environmental Choice

programme, the sleeves are made from MemoryTech™ technology. They insulate against hot or cold, and they’re waterproof so protect against leaks, spills and general sogginess. 100 cases of Eco-sleeves can save 10 trees! For more information visit environmentalchoice.com

Eco-strawsTo go with your bio-cups and clutches, how about some straws? We’ve had these straws specially developed for

us so they have a diameter of �mm, great for slurping up even the thickest of frappés and smoothies. Once they come into contact with soil the degradation process begins – total disintegration will take place within two years… nice.

Being an environmentally friendly bunch here at BTB we’ve been looking far and wide for a range of products that can help you help the environment. Visit our website for more detailed information about these green products… you know, the science bits.

It’s not just equipment and ingredients that count – good drinks are about the culture, the history, techniques, skills, and of course nothing beats great training.

There are a number of excellent schools offering courses in coffee preparation, latte art, roasting, or tasting. We recommend the London School of Coffee in the UK or �bar who run a comprehensive programme of barista courses at their schools in both Italy and France.

Details of all their courses can be found at londonschoolofcoffee.com or �bar.it. If you have any general queries or are looking for some new ideas, we’re here to help too.

There are also some useful DVDs out there on how to make great coffees. Or you can turn to books. Here are some that have caught our eye.

Beyond the Bean is all about knowledge, understanding every aspect of the business, including how the speciality coffee industry is developing in other parts of the world.
