Cold brew coffee supply in Kenya

Supply cold brew coffee using a process validated for the intended storage and sale format.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional coffee supply: ten 500 ml cold-brew bottles delivered only through a competent operator-approved cold chain. The coffee/water input figures are costing trial assumptions, not brewing instructions, extraction-ratio recommendations or a shelf-life guarantee. Equipment already exists; process validation, laboratory work if required, delivery and receiving-storage arrangements must be separately resolved.

Who is the first customer?

Cafes and office buyers.

Test the offer

Obtain competent process guidance and test a small batch with a named buyer.

Delivery and quality

This brief is not a safe cold-brew formula; bottling alone does not establish shelf life.

Cost drivers

  • coffee
  • filtration
