How Does Cookster Choose Coffee Beans and Roasting Suppliers?
In a vibrant city like Jeddah—especially within its competitive café scene—choosing coffee beans becomes a decisive step that shapes the quality of every cup and every visitor’s impression.
When someone steps into one of Jeddah’s cafés and is greeted by the aroma of fresh roasting, expectations rise:
A flavor worthy of the city… a blend of authenticity, craftsmanship, and innovation.
That’s why Cookster treats bean selection and supplier choice as a major responsibility. Success in a large market like Jeddah’s depends primarily on bean quality, smooth brewing, and deep flavor.
Coffee in Jeddah has become a quality benchmark. People no longer visit cafés for a basic drink; they want specialty-grade flavor, strong notes, and precise roasting.
Here, Cookster stands out by following clear standards that ensure every cup served in Jeddah’s cafés or lounges carries the city’s signature excellence.
Coffee beans today are part of the visual and sensory identity of a café—just like décor, lighting, and style. As Jeddah cafés continue to expand and innovate, sourcing beans becomes a more meticulous process:
The beans must match the preparation style, customer taste, and even the café's design.
Because coffee isn’t just a drink—it is a scene, an atmosphere, and a core part of the visitor’s emotional connection to the space.
And so Cookster studies every detail—from origin countries to roasting profiles—to ensure the perfect match for each café.
Now, the big question:
How does Cookster pick the ideal beans and the best roasting suppliers?
Let’s uncover the process…
Selecting Coffee Beans Scientifically for Jeddah’s Cafés
Cookster begins with an in-depth study of the bean itself—because not every bean suits Jeddah’s premium coffee culture.
This stage includes:
Choosing bean varieties that match Jeddah’s coffee-loving audience
Selecting farms known for sustainability and high quality
Choosing beans with flavor profiles suited to modern coffee trends
Evaluating body, acidity, and aroma before approval
This ensures the beans become the star of the menu.
Matching Beans with the Café’s Identity and Décor
Beans alone are not enough—each café has its own personality.
Cookster ensures harmony between flavor and atmosphere by:
Selecting elegant profiles suitable for luxurious lounges
Choosing lively flavors for high-energy cafés
Recommending beans that match the space’s message and design
Ensuring taste aligns with décor and ambiance
Here, beans become part of the visual experience before the tasting experience.
Working with Professional Roasters in and outside Jeddah
Cookster chooses roasters based on strict criteria:
Precision and consistency in roasting
Fresh beans suited to modern brewing techniques
Commitment to safety and quality
Understanding Jeddah’s specialty beverage culture
Quality starts at the roaster… and ends in the barista’s hands.
Understanding Jeddah’s Audience—A City That Loves New Experiences
Jeddah’s coffee scene is bold and ever-evolving.
Cookster keeps up by:
Studying customer preferences
Testing flavors that appeal to young visitors
Matching offerings to fans of bold or light flavors

This ensures cafés stay ahead of trends.
Quality Assurance Before Supplying
Before approving any beans or roaster, Cookster conducts stringent tests:
Roasting cleanliness and flavor balance
Multiple brewing method tests
Flavor consistency in hot and cold drinks
Ensuring quality is stable across all batches
Only then does the bean earn a place in Jeddah’s cafés and lounges.

Ultimately, Cookster revolves around one core element: the coffee experience.
This includes:
Choosing beans that match the café’s vibe
Offering specialty drinks with personality
Blending bean quality with décor
Creating a luxurious, memorable experience
Because every cup should carry a signature.
Quick Sessions vs Long Sessions: Who Is the Café Designed For?
In Jeddah’s dynamic café culture, seating design is just as important as the coffee itself.
Some visitors prefer a quick stop, others want to stay for hours.
Each preference shapes:
the décor
the type of drinks served
the overall café identity
Let’s explore both types…
Quick Sessions: For Fast-Paced Jeddah Lifestyles
These suit visitors who want:
quick specialty drinks
simple, practical modern décor
light seating that encourages rotation
easy grab-and-go options
locations near offices and malls
Quick sessions increase foot traffic and speed.
Long Sessions: The Hallmark of Jeddah Lounges
Long sessions suit:
long study hours
remote workers
social gatherings
coffee lovers who savor every sip
These offer:
warm lighting
luxurious spacious seating
relaxed, immersive atmospheres
Décor Defines the Experience
Design heavily influences seating style:
Warm wood + dim lighting → long sessions
Bright colors + open layouts → quick sessions
Comfortable furniture → stay longer
High tables → quick movement
Décor tells a story—and every café has its own.
Signature Drinks Reveal the Café’s Personality
Precision-brewed specialty drinks → long sessions
Fast-prepared drinks → quick sessions
Inventive flavors → extended stays
Luxurious drinks → lounge settings
The drink is part of the café’s identity.
Striking a Balance Between Both Types
Some cafés blend both by:
creating a quick zone near the entrance
offering quiet indoor spaces for long stays
designing varied seating
providing drinks for both styles
This attracts wider audiences.
