The
Coffee

The team chose Lou’s Blend as their house coffee — a smooth, versatile blend that works perfectly across their menu.

To make their coffee offering even more distinctive, we created fully bespoke branded packaging at no extra cost for their farm shop shelves.

This gave the farm shop a unique retail presence and allowed customers to take home a piece of the experience, while reinforcing their brand identity at every touchpoint.

The Equipment

To meet the demands of their high footfall, we supplied the San Remo D8, a powerhouse designed for busy environments where quality can’t be compromised. Renowned for its reliability, temperature stability, and ease of use, the D8 ensures every espresso is as precise as the last — even during the busiest service rush.

Supporting the D8, Fodder’s new setup features the Mahlkönig E80 and E65S grinders, engineered for consistency and speed to handle continuous service without missing a beat. And to take things even further, we installed the Perfect Moose automatic milk system — the ultimate solution for achieving perfectly textured milk every time. The system not only improved drink quality but dramatically enhanced workflow, freeing up baristas to focus on customer experience and speed.

Beyond The Cup

Beyond the equipment, we worked with Fodder to create a complete, end-to-end coffee experience. This included developing their own bespoke branded retail coffee range, designed to align perfectly with their farm-shop aesthetic and give customers a way to take a little piece of Fodder home.

We also supplied a curated selection of premium syrups, luxury hot chocolate, and branded takeaway cups, ensuring every element of their coffee service reflected quality and consistency. From the first sip in the café to the moment a customer brews a bag at home, every detail reinforces the same high standards that define the Fodder experience.

Extensive
Training

For Fodder, great coffee was only part of the goal — equally important was ensuring their entire team had the skills and confidence to deliver it consistently. We provided extensive, ongoing training tailored to their operation, covering everything from espresso fundamentals and milk texturing to advanced workflow techniques designed for high-volume service.

Our training went beyond the typical “how-to” sessions. We focused on building barista confidence, optimising workflow efficiency, and creating repeatable systems that keep quality high even during peak hours. Every team member — from new starters to senior staff — was trained to extract coffee to specification, texture milk to perfection, and understand the why behind every step.
