Other Roasters
Small-batch roasters, who often lack consistency and variety and large commercial roasters, who are often too rigid to adapt to you. Queen Bean Coffee Company combines the best of the small batch and commercial roaster strengths -- obsession with details, devotion to quality, passion, precision, consistency, and variety.
Small batch roaster
- Strength: Quality beans, attention to detail, communicating the coffee story, passion
- Weakness: Lack of consistency, limited options, often no decaf or flavored coffee options, limited degassing chambers, exclusive vs. inclusive messaging
Large commercial roaster
- Strength: Purchasing power, consistency, large distribution channels, wide variety of offerings, advanced roasting technology
- Weakness: Limited customization, lower quality beans, mass production, regional blending of beans
Competitive Advantages
We're natural nesters. We're women. We have traveled, lived abroad, had multiple professional lives and know that it is the small, familiar things - like coffee, that ground us and give us peace. Quality and the story aren't enough. People need to feel connected and invested in their products. They also need to feel they can consume without judgement. As a company, we provide an exceptional cup of coffee. As consumers ourselves, we want to make our coffee a member of your household - give it new purpose by giving you more ways to drink, present, discuss, and enjoy your cup. We want to make you the expert and the innovator.
