Wholesale enquiry mistakes

Requesting pricing without volume context

Even a rough monthly estimate helps us suggest realistic pack sizes and mixes.

Assuming every retail SKU is available in case bulk

Availability varies by supplier terms and season. Enquiry confirms what is possible.

Overlooking delivery and storage constraints

Large cases need space and rotation. Plan receiving and shelf life before ordering.

  • Arabica vs Robusta

    Arabica and Robusta are the two main coffee species used in Italian blends. Arabica tends to be smoother and more aromatic; Robusta adds body, crema, and intensity. Most Italian espresso blends combine both.
