Thirty-Five Writers Put Coffee In Their Bio Because It Signals The Work
Thirty-five writers put coffee in their bio, and not one of them is trying to sell you a bag of it. That number should stop you if you write coffee copy for a living, because it means thirty-five people reached for the same word you reach for, and used it to mean the exact opposite of what you meant. You meant the roast. They meant the hours. Look at what the word is doing in a writer's hands. It is not a flavour note or an origin or a brew...
Coffee Roasters Are The Only Category That Understood The Internet, At 95.4 Percent
Somewhere a roaster is weighing out a kilo of beans for a person they will never meet, in a city they have never visited, who found them through a screen and will judge them by whether the bag arrives. That single, unglamorous fact explains why roasters quietly run the most competent corner of coffee's internet - not vision, not taste, not some superior instinct for digital strategy that the rest of the trade somehow missed. Just the ancient,...
Dessert Shops Beat Coffee Shops On Audience By A Third Selling The Same Coffee
Thirty-nine dessert shops sit at a median of 2,465 followers. The coffee shop sits at 1,865. That is thirty-two percent more audience, earned from premises of similar size, in similar locations, pulling shots on broadly the same espresso from broadly the same machines. If you run a cafe and that gap stings, good - because it is not a talent gap, a budget gap or a luck gap. It is a gap you can close in your own kitchen, and the number tells you...
A Quarter Of Coffee Creators Publish No Link And Send Their Followers Nowhere
The people with the biggest crowds in coffee have built the smallest doors. That is the quiet scandal buried in the numbers, and once you see it you cannot look at a follower count the same way again. Creators - the individuals holding attention, the personalities brands chase for a single mention - are sitting on enormous rooms full of people and have, in a striking number of cases, forgotten to put in an exit. Not a bad exit. No exit at all....
Coffee’s Forty Community Accounts Out-Reach The Cafes They Are Built Around
Forty coffee community accounts - clubs, meetups, city guides, enthusiast collectives - carry a median of 4,119 followers. That is 2.2 times the audience of the average coffee shop, and ninety percent of them publish a working link. Sit with the strangeness of that. The accounts built around the cafes have gathered more than twice the crowd of the cafes themselves, and they did it without a roaster, a counter, a lease or a single bag to sell....
