The loveliest time of the year is just around the corner and you don’t know how to create a Christmas atmosphere that makes your customers think of sweet snowy landscapes? If you put these five simple ideas into practice, none of your customers will be able to walk out of your coffee shop without first breathing the scent of snow in the air.
A very tasty and creamy vegetarian and gluten-free dish that is ideal for autumn: radicchio and coffee lasagna is a speciality worth discovering.
The relationship with customers, advertising, public relations… anyone who believes the success of a restaurant or a café is exclusively based on these elements, besides the menu offered, hasn’t taken into consideration an equally essential aspect: stock supply and management.
Nothing of the best things that nature gives us is ever throw away. And with a little effort and creativity, everything can find a second creative and eco-friendly use. Coffee is no exception and after use, it can become the ideal soil to grow edible mushrooms at home. This is how you can do it!
Inaugurating the day with a dear old steaming cappuccino served at your favourite café is a tradition for most Italians. This evergreen drink made of espresso and milk foam has recently been reinvented with gourmet, creative trends such as latte art.
Frappuccino, in its classical version, first began as the combination of milk and coffee. Then it evolved into many variants and flavours, including strawberry, pineapple, mango, green tea and lemon. Here you can find the ideal recipes to prepare a delicious classic Frappuccino.
Going back to school to learn the fragrant art of coffee… is this your plan? Whether you are a newbie or already work in the industry roasting coffee, selling coffee beans or as a café manager and want to get new tools of the trade and expand your wealth of knowledge and know-how, there are many training courses.

DIY Decor
There is nothing better than snow decorations to create an authentic Christmas atmosphere. This year, to stand out from the other cafés in your area you could opt for hand-made decorations, which require a low budget and will certainly make a lasting impression. You could hang up on the ceiling some snowflakes made from old white clothespins or display a snowman made of cups outside the café.Advent Calendar
Offering discounts and gifts to the regular customers of your coffee shop is a good way to build customer loyalty: why don’t you give them a Christmas loyalty card inspired by the advent calendar? Simply distribute the cards with 24 blank spaces and reward customers with a small daily gift recalling snow.Christmas Products
There are many cafés adorned with plenty of Christmas decorations, but they offer the same products all year round. You can remedy this inconsistency, by displaying bakery products inspired by snow, such as biscuits in the shape of a snowman or marzipan houses covered in snow. If you have a showcase, fill it with typical Christmas desserts like pandoro, panettone and nougats on soft wadding.Music
Selecting the right music for your coffee shop during the holidays is a simple thing that may prove to be of great effect. It’s important to prepare a good selection of songs for your customers to listen to. The last thing you want is to have cheesy or banal music in your coffee shop! You could pick some great Christmas classics about snow like "White Christmas" and "Let it snow", but don’t play them too often and focus more on soft music, better if only instrumental. [shortcode-banner-didattica-en]Latte Art
Latte art, now a big trend all over the world, creates cappuccinos that are almost too beautiful to be drunk. Decorating a cappuccino with a Christmas theme is definitely an effective way to make breakfast special during the holidays, although it certainly isn’t the simplest way. To help those baristas who still haven’t mastered the technique, the Vergnano Academy now offers a latte art course, focusing on the techniques to make even the most difficult decorations, such as snowflakes.

You will find the recipe below. Coffee adds a unique and original flavour even to the most traditional dishes: it enhances the chocolate flavour in cakes and marries beautifully with cream cheese and milk. If you are curious to test yourself in the kitchen, here is the radicchio and coffee lasagna recipe— a vegetarian and gluten-free alternative to meet all needs.Ingredients:
To prepare the dough of this deliciously light lasagna, you will need:- 270 gr of gluten-free flour or a ready-made mix of gluten-free flours
- 30 finely ground coffee beans
- 3 eggs
- 20 ml of water
- 1 shallot
- 1 head of Radicchio di Treviso Precoce (early harvest)
- 30 gr of butter
- extra-virgin olive oil
- white wine
- thyme
- 60 gr of butter
- 60 gr of rice flour
- 500 ml of milk
- 100 gr of Gruyere cheese
- black pepper
- nutmeg
- almond flakes
- Parmesan cheese
How to make the noodles
To prepare the noodles, mix the flour, eggs and water, then add the finely ground coffee beans. You will obtain a slightly brown and fragrant dough. To increase its aroma, you can also add some orange zest. When it is ready, you can roll out the dough into not-too-thin noodles.How to make the filling
To make the filling, brown the chopped shallot in a spoon of butter with the radicchio, after washing it well and slivering it in slices of approx. 1 cm. Add a dash of white wine, a little salt and let simmer for a few minutes until the radicchio is cooked and add some fresh thyme. Now start melting the butter to prepare the sauce. Then add the sifted flour and stir well until you obtain a thick and even mixture. Add the milk a little at a time, some pepper, nutmeg and the small pieces of Gruyere cheese.Before baking...
To assemble the lasagna, first spread a spoon of sauce on the bottom of the dish. Arrange one layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, then spread some more sauce and the radicchio with the shallot. Continue like this until you finish all the ingredients and end with an abundant layer of sauce and sprinkle it with grated Parmesan cheese and almond flakes. Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes or until the cheese on top becomes a delicious golden brown. You will be amazed by the delicate and unique taste of this lasagna. Enjoy it with a good glass of sparkling prosecco.

Making the order strategy for the various product types efficient and checking that the stock is neither lacking or excessive can help you manage costs and increase the profits of your business.Managing coffee stock
Coffee falls under the category of products with medium shelf life and, although it can be stored for quite a long time, it’s better not to buy too many batches, to preserve the aroma and the natural fragrance intact. Being a dry product, coffee doesn’t perish, but after a few months it starts losing its aroma and taste intensity, and for this reason, the best thing is to make sure your customers drink the beverage prepared from freshly grounded coffee beans. Do you want to learn more about the roasting and brewing process? Check out the coffee-pro courses of the Vergnano Academy and expand your professional horizons! [shortcode-banner-accademia-en]Stock records: everything in order
Efficiency means reducing waste on the one hand and limiting costs on the other. For this reason, it’s important that someone, preferably an accountant, keeps a register always up to date with all the merchandise that enters and exits from the warehouse: the so-called continuous inventory, which coincides, in its more modern version, with a computerised file. This makes it easier for the manager to determine which products need to be reordered and the relevant quantities, based on the actual current state of the stock (classified by product type and shell life) and consumption during the year, which can vary based on the time of year and seasonality of certain products.Coffee, the elixir of... loyalty
Do your customers seem to be drinking less coffee than usual? Regardless of the sociological or nutritional reason behind it—whether it is due to a spending review caused by the economic crisis or temporary lifestyle trends, so that today that extra cup of coffee is demonised and tomorrow it will be the rediscovered new age to fight the risk of cellular ageing— implement ad hoc marketing strategies that arouse interest in high-quality Italian espresso. An example? A business lunch formula, in which the set menu includes coffee at the end of the meal. Or a coffee bonus: a free espresso once a certain number of coupons has been collected. Do your customers come regularly to the restaurant or café? Serve them a free cup of coffee from time to time! You will benefit from this in the long term, as they will become loyal customers. If you sell packages of coffee beans or ground blends directly to your customers, display them in plain sight, from the one that entered the inventory first, so as to sell them more quickly. You can offer discounts on packages that are becoming too old to be sold, proposing the buy 1, get 1 for free or similar deals.

And with a little effort and creativity, everything can find a second creative and eco-friendly use. Coffee is no exception and after use, it can become the ideal soil to grow edible mushrooms at home. This is how you can do it! The use of coffee grounds in cosmetics has become quite popular: coffee grounds help you to stay in shape, are ruthless enemies of cellulite and allies of dark hair and can be reused in a thousand ways thanks to their numerous beneficial properties. In the last few years, they have also proved to be valuable for gourmet recycling. Indeed, they have become an excellent growth medium for edible mushrooms. We can really say “from the coffee cup to risotto”. An idea from the Far East The idea, in reality, is of a Chinese mycologist who perfected it over twenty years ago. More recently, however, there have been start-ups that have focused on this ecological and economic method of cultivation, and companies that have decided to market ready-to-use kits. Why coffee grounds? But what are the features that make coffee grounds so suitable to grow mushrooms? First of all, they are sterile, due to the high temperatures to which they are subjected. If they are well preserved, it prevents the proliferation of moulds and bacteria. In addition, coffee grounds are very rich in nutrients that are useful for the growth of mushrooms: phosphorus, nitrogen and cellulose combined with an acidic pH are ideal for the growth of different varieties of mushrooms, especially the Pleurotus, which are very easy to cultivate. All you need to grow mushrooms at home To organise the cultivation of mushrooms you just need a few items: a dark, resistant plastic bag, a wooden box such as those for fruit, mycelium—the seeds of the mushrooms that we want to cultivate— and, of course, a large number of coffee grounds at room temperature. How to get a good harvest Start by placing the dark bag in a wooden box and fill it with well-ventilated coffee grounds, alternated with mycelium. After doing this, the bag must be closed and kept in a cool, dark place for the incubation period. After a few days, the mixture will become whitish and it will begin to have a pleasant fragrance of mushrooms. This is the right time to make some cuts in the bag and store it outdoors in a spot not hit by direct light, at a temperature between 15 and 20 degrees. In about 3 weeks, we will be able to savour the first crop that will be fresh and fragrant. In addition, when the production cycle is over, you will be able to recycle coffee grounds to fertilise the soil of acidophilic plants such as azaleas, hydrangeas and rhododendrons, or to use it as compost for your vegetable garden. Therefore, coffee continues to amaze us with its virtues and the many recycling options it offers. Have you ever tried to grow mushrooms at home? Have you ever used coffee grounds for this purpose?

This evergreen drink made of espresso and milk foam has recently been reinvented with gourmet, creative trends such as latte art. Have you ever seen a sweet heart, a detailed leaf or the face of an irresistible kitten floating on the surface of a cappuccino? These are just a few of the cappuccino designs that a barista/artist can create in the foam topping your “good morning cup”, playing with the nuances and textures of the velvety white foam and the dark liquid. Discover some practical tips and you will become an expert in milk designs!Impeccable milk foam
A cappuccino that is tasty to drink and original to admire begins from the base: milk frothed to perfection. To make the foam as firm and soft as you wish, froth the milk in a pitcher with the steaming wand of the espresso machine, holding the tip of the wand just under the surface of the milk. [shortcode-banner-accademia-en]How to move the foam
Once you have prepared the foam, pour it into the cup with the espresso to create the design of your choice. The very heart of decoration art lies in the way the flow is managed when pouring. You will give life to the details of your final work of art by gauging the direction and intensity of your movements.The most popular latte art techniques
If you want to recreate impressive designs, you will need to practice an elaborate mix of processes and techniques. These are the three most popular ones:- Art bar
- Etching
- Pouring
Tips for cappuccinos with beautiful designs
Before serving a "special” cappuccino to your customers, study the psychology of your target. Each design will evoke a sensation, a feeling or an image: avoid referring to something unwelcome or unsuitable to the person in front of you. Also, choose the right time for serving the beautiful design. If customers are in a hurry, they won’t have the time to appreciate certain subtleties! To learn other tricks of the trade on latte art and cappuccino foam, visit the website page of the Vergnano Academy! And if in the morning you have breakfast at home, in your pyjamas, treat yourself to an unusual cappuccino decorating it with cocoa powder with specific stencils or a toothpick to work the contours of the milk foam.

What you need to make a special Frappuccino
To make great Frappuccino, you need excellent, very strong coffee. In addition, it is important that the blender used is designed to crush ice and that it has adequate power. Add the ice last and blend the ingredients taking care to turn the blender off and on once or twice to prevent any damage to the motor. Of course, you shouldn’t take too long to do this, because the ice could melt, making the mixture watery and affecting the final result.
