Reliable At Blue Bottle Coffee, we are obsessed about the quality of the way coffee tastes. We want to know what you prefer and whether you like bold blends or a lighter roasted coffee with a brighter flavor. We can even help you pick one out if you are unsure. In our pursuit of quality, each coffee must score 80 points or above on a 100-point scale to qualify as a specialty coffee. For our coffee purchasing, we only buy specialty coffees scoring 84 or higher. Most of our coffee is organic-certified. We obtain this certification wherever possible. When it is impossible to get this kind of coffee, as is the case with some regions from which our coffees come, we rely on suppliers who show environmental responsibility in their practices. Our coffee is sourced from coffee producers who are our partners for at least five years. We prefer to buy coffee from regions that grow the best beans. When we find a high-quality coffee, we pay more to build a lasting partnership with the farm that produced it. Once the coffee reaches our facilities, our Q-grade-certified coffee sourcing department taste-tests the coffee. They are professional coffee tasters with the highest level of certification. They grade the coffee at the source before it is shipped and then again when it is in-house. Our coffee is roasted in small batches ranging from 15 to 70 kilos. We roast this coffee very carefully so that it reaches optimal flavor. Finally, we have optimized our roasting and delivery processes to get our customers coffee as fresh as possible, whether they order it from our cafés or from one of our newsletters.
Reviews for the coffee shop have been overwhelmingly positive. The atmosphere is often described as cozy or hidden, and the drinks are usually praised. Some reviewers have especially loved the Hōjisha latte, but others rave about the cappuccinos and lattes. Reviewers consistently compliment both the aroma of the beans and the quality of the espresso. A review cautions that the coffee may be too strong for some people. Some reviewers express concern about the expense, but the food and drink reviews themselves are almost entirely positive. Alternative drinks like green tea lattes are also a big hit. The attitude of the workers is warm and welcoming, and the service is fast. Most people enjoy their visits to the shop, but it has gotten a bit crowded at times. Some reviews suggest that the Blue Bottle in the shop can be pricier than other locations. Many reviews end by saying that the guest will definitely be back. Some people especially admired the energy of the shop, like one review that appreciated the creativity of the monthly changes to single-origin beans. The store's appearance, like the cookies and flower displays, can help create an immersive experience. The store appearing messy inside helps add to the feeling of being in a secret spot. Many reviews praise the store, and some people say it's their new favorite place. A comment from a doubter away for a little bit ends one review nicely. The Big Coffee place emphasizes the people working there and the appreciative fans, and that's what really matters.
