Services Coffee Tasting Sessions
Taste the difference by comparing your coffee with ours in a coffee tasting
A coffee bean tasting session enables evaluation of the quality, flavour, and aroma of coffee beans offering buyers and baristas the chance to select a coffee which works with their: food menus; brand ethos; client profiles; and story telling
1. Taste the difference - a maximum of three coffee beans will be selected and ground at the site for complete freshness.
2. Varied coffees - these may differ by origin (single versus blend), roast (light versus dark) and region, This showcases diversity of flavour, acidity and body
3. Sensory Focus - view the colour and smell the dry coffee beans to get a sense of the aroma and complexity.
4. Espresso and taste profile - compare side by side the acidity, brightness, body, sweetness and aftertaste. Milk drinks can also be offered at this stage.
5. Matching your needs - beans are normally selected based upon a similar profile to their current offer, plus two additional coffees which to suit your client profiles, brand ethos and menu.
6. Story telling and support - origins, ethical sourcing and sustainable practices are discussed for a coffee you would feel confident to offer
7. The final decision - selecting the perfect coffee blend is a careful process and one we hope we can help you with. Compare the difference today!

We have now worked with Alba for 15 years, for the supply of both bean to cup machines and also consumables (coffee beans, milk and chocolate). The quality of Lavazza coffee for customers, and Alba's service is always first class, and technical support always available if needed. Highly recommended
As Italians we knew the coffee and machinery we wanted and where to find them, working with Alba ticks the boxes - ease of contact, relationships and expertise. The coffee we serve is smooth, hot and rightly priced, exactly as Lavazza coffee should be.
We are extremely happy with the service provided by Alba Beverage, a side benefit is that we have gained foot fall in our dining room. Paula always replies promptly and their customer service is second to none.
A typical day in our Tea Room is coffee, coffee, coffee, Lavazza all the way, it certainly brings in customers, which, for us is extremely important. We find our working relationship with Alba Beverage very easy, comfortable and professional. Both ourselves and our customers value the Lavazza brand.
A good coffee definitely brings back the customers, our customer love your coffee & lattes ... Overall a good working relationship.
I have a small bakery, we wanted to introduce coffee and Lavazza is better coffee than all the rest, so Paula and her team at Alba responded quickly. The engineer surveyed the site, advised on installation, delivered, installed and trained us how to make truly great coffee. Our sales have grown and Alba make it so easy for us, I am very happy to recommend the company, and the coffee of course.
