How Our Process Works
Choose Joe’s Garage Coffee when you’d like to work with a sustainable partner. Our cups for Keurig® are BPI® certified compostable and engineered to have a minimal impact on the planet. As our environmentally friendly cups naturally decompose, they return healthy nutrients to the soil.
Here’s a look at our process for roasting and packaging your coffee in Keurig®-compatible compostable cups.
1. Choose Your Coffee Service
We can make the coffee for you or just do the packaging, depending on your preference. With roast-to-order, we use our beans to create the blend you want. We can start with one of our existing blends or create unique combinations with competitor benchmarking or your ideas.
If you have roasted coffee beans, we can find the perfect way to make their flavor shine in compostable Keurig® cups with our co-packing services. Our team works hard to document and preserve the flavor in the new brewing format. Besides roasted beans, we can work with your green beans. Our detailed toll-roasting services deliver the desired roast profile while taking the work off your hands.
2. Let Us Create In-House Samples
Once you select your coffee bean service level (use our beans our yours) and provide your coffee specifications like desired taste, brew, and roast profile, we’ll start working on creating samples of your coffee for your team to try and approve for manufacturing – whether you choose to use our coffee beans and have us match your coffee to your exact specifications, or we use your coffee, you’ll be involved in dialing the taste of your coffee through our sampling process. We follow cupping guidelines from the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) for consistent cupping protocols. Based on our sampling process, we’ll recommend any necessary changes to adapt the taste, extraction, and quality according to your preferences.
3. Give Feedback on Coffee Samples
The cups we make are ultimately your product. We give you the chance to share your input, and we’ll send samples in compostable cups, letting your team try them and make any necessary tweaks before the product hits the shelves. The product reflects your brand, so we want to ensure you’re proud to promote it. For established customers, we welcome you to cup with us in person to dial in your coffee face-to-face – please contact one of our Private Label Coffee Experts to request an in-person cupping of your coffee product while it is in development.
4. Work With Us for Design
Once you have a coffee product you love, make it stand out to customers with brand-aligned, custom-printed packaging. We can design cartons and bulk packaging as needed. Our team also designs cup lids. We make each one reflect your brand. People who grab a cup to brew will see this branding, making them more likely to choose you the next time they want coffee. Work with our team on seamless design integration – as an established brand you have existing creative and brand requirements that we can easily meet. Work with our team to integrate your existing brand assets into packaging formats that are ready for retail.
