Bulking Up: A Guide to Buying Bulk Wholesale Coffee Beans

So you're looking to buy wholesale coffee beans! That means you either consume an insane amount of coffee (no judgment!) or you run a hotel, plan events, own a coffee house, or manage an office. Whatever the case, you might have questions—and that's where we can help!

Should you buy whole bean coffee?

Although you can get your coffee pre-ground, the best (and freshest) way is to buy whole bean coffee, and grind it right before you brew. Pre-ground coffee has a lot more surface area, which can cause it to lose flavor more quickly in the bag. At 8th & Roast, we sell only the freshest coffee possible. While whole bean coffee is best, don't fret If you don't have access to a grinder—we can grind it for you right before we deliver it, ensuring that it's still fresh when you receive it.

Is Specialty Coffee Worth The Extra Cost?

We think that better coffee is worth it every time! If the coffee you're selling is bland, or something a customer can just grab from any supermarket store shelf, they aren't likely to line up out the door for what you're serving. Better coffee means happy guests, and happy guests mean more income for your business.

The question may be a little different if you manage an office, but the goal remains the same. Although you're likely not selling coffee to your employees, you should still have great coffee! When you serve good coffee in your office, employees are happier and more productive, and that can benefit you in the long run.
