On July 24, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, a Kelly Coffee Robot new bean tasting and hand-drip coffee appreciation salon was successfully held. The event was fully sponsored by Foshan Linggan Coffee Factory, which leveraged its complete supply chain advantages to create an immersive tasting experience for coffee lovers, combining technological sophistication with professionalism. The event vividly demonstrated the difference in flavor between industrially produced, consistently manufactured coffee and hand-brewed coffee, receiving unanimous praise from the participants.

The entire tasting salon was well-organized and fast-paced. The host began with a 5-minute introduction to the overall event plan, clearly defining the tasting as divided into two main sections: two new coffee products from the Kelly robot and several hand-drip coffee beans, guiding guests to experience the unique charm of standardized machine-made coffee versus hand-drip coffee. This was followed by a 15-20 minute robot coffee experience session, where staff used the Kelly coffee robot to prepare Americanos and lattes using two custom-made coffee beans (medium-dark and dark roasts) provided by the Inspiration Coffee Factory, simultaneously explaining the bean origins, roasting logic, and flavor pairing strategies. Guests tasted each coffee, directly experiencing the stable, rich flavor of industrial roasting, suitable for everyday milk-based coffees and black coffee.

The hand-drip tasting session lasted 20 to 30 minutes, during which the taster brewed several Inspiration Select coffee beans in turn, meticulously analyzing the origin and processing method of each bean, guiding guests to distinguish the aroma, acidity, sweetness, body, and finish. All the beans used in this tasting came from the Inspiration Coffee Factory, a 3280㎡ modern facility equipped with PROBAT and GIESEN professional roasting machines, AI sorting equipment, and a professional roasting R&D team from SCA. The factory holds SC and ISO certifications and possesses 16 specialized coffee technologies, enabling it to consistently produce over a hundred varieties of specialty coffee beans, including award-winning Golden Bean Cup beans and Emerald Estate Red Label Geisha. This ensures both stable supply for large-scale commercial orders and the refined presentation of niche specialty flavors. The global estate direct sourcing model eliminates multiple intermediaries, balancing flavor richness and quality consistency, and is suitable for various brewing scenarios, including hand-drip and espresso.

During the subsequent 10-15 minute interactive session, guests actively shared their preferences, distinguishing different bean types suitable for milk-based coffees, pure Americanos, and hand-drip single-origin coffees. Simultaneously, staff from the Inspiration Coffee Factory collected public flavor preferences and introduced the factory's one-stop services, including wholesale of raw and roasted beans, OEM labeling, and comprehensive training for opening a store. They also explained that they can customize roast levels, packaging, and flavor formulas according to store and individual needs, catering to diverse requirements of coffee shops, new retail, and corporate clients.

This tasting salon used flavor experiences as a link to allow the public to understand the quality control from the source of coffee up close. Inspiration Coffee Factory, relying on the full-chain production capabilities of Foshan, balances specialty coffee with large-scale production, providing a stable supply to various offline tasting and commercial stores, as well as offering personalized customization solutions. In the future, the factory will continue to use tasting events as a platform to popularize specialty coffee knowledge, connect the production area to the end consumer, and contribute to the high-quality development of the coffee consumption market in the Greater Bay Area.
