What People Are Saying About Our Beans
“Hands down the best Sumatra decaf ever. Smooth; how do you do that?! No bite whatsoever and the taste forces you to let it linger on your tongue before swallowing. I love it!!”
Julie Niles-Fry, Rogue River, OR
“Silver Cup Coffee is consistently the best coffee I have ever tasted. The assortment of different coffee beans from around the world that seem to be roasted to perfection has made my daily coffee habit so rewarding that the other brands just don’t cut it anymore.”
Pete DeLong, Methow Valley, WA
“Cafe Florencia lives up to its name. A Northern Italian style medium-dark with a full bodied profile, no bitterness, rich enough for those who like plenty of foam or milk.”
Katie Schwartz, Palm Desert, CA
What Our Coffeehouse Clients Are Saying About Working With Silver Cup Coffee
“We jumped into the espresso business without knowing anything except we liked coffee and wanted to be our own boss. We did three smart things: Get a good location, hire a ten year experienced barista and go with Silver Cup for our coffee supplier. Without Silver Cup and Tyler Chism, we would be lost.
Silver Cup gave us no-nonsense advice about the business: locations, leases, machines, and the economy. They made us feel aware but not overwhelmed. They helped us pick a coffee that reflects our personal taste: strong enough to come through the milk without tasting burned. Silver Cup hooked us up with introductory syrups and a starter pack from the rep.
We are a family owned and operated business, so our two daughters and our barista joined us for the tasting. We all agreed on which blend we wanted and felt very accomplished (Silver Cup was the fourth roasting house we had visited). Only then to hear someone come and tell us our car had a flat. True to his ever helping spirit, Tyler went out to the parking lot and helped us change the tire. It was the first of many “out of his way” gestures.
When our espresso machine broke the first week our stand was open (and we were on vacation ), Silver Cup loaned us a machine. When we got back, Tyler helped us find another “new” machine. Any time we’ve had a question or a problem, Tyler has been an ever-ready resource. If Silver Cup can’t fix it, they know someone who can. We can’t imagine doing business with anyone else.”
Darby and Scott Johnson, Cloud Nine Coffee
“I use the Barista DVD every time I train a new employee. It is a wonderful tool. It’s covers everything I would cover, presents even seasoned baristas with new information, and really cuts down on the time I spend training.
I used to use a training program from another roaster, but it didn’t cover shot timing and quality well. The employees I’ve trained with The Coffee Coach Advantage system really know how important it is to watch their timing to produce great espresso shots.”
Jonette Anchetta, Emerald City Espresso, Tacoma, WA
“I took the ‘Drive-Thru Champion – How to Build a 100lb/wk Drive Thru Business’ class that Silver Cup presented at the Coffee Fest in Chicago. Afterwards Christian was very gracious to personally give me ideas to grow our business. We continued to communicate. I switched my business to Silver Cup Coffee because they were so helpful in directing us to grow. Christian is always willing to share what he knows!
Their Dark Sterling Blend is what we chose and it has performed phenomenally! It is so consistent, I rarely need to adjust our grinder.
Interestingly enough we have many former Starbucks customers come to our shop! One Starbucks Barista has come and purchased our Straight espresso as it tastes so much better! How cool is that? Just this morning a customer commented she prefers our decaf over Starbucks. We use Silver Cup’s decaf espresso as well.
I strongly recommend using Silver Cup Coffee. Working with Christian Kar is a pleasure! It’s like working with a partner instead of a supplier.”
