Random is a multi-faceted brand that integrates design, lifestyle aesthetics and coffee, which was founded in Hangzhou in 2015. Ceremorning, a subsidiary of Random, offers high-quality and stable specialty coffee, a variety of creative desserts, fresh and organic brunch snacks, and sells self-developed healthy snacks. Random's Brunch has been praised and surprisingly the coffee is pretty good. At the 2018 Shanghai Coffee Exhibition, Random's Ceremorning brand coffee beans gained a lot of attention.
For pour-over coffee, Random updates top roasting brands at home and abroad from time to time to share high-quality coffee and culture. The brewing appliance used by the Random barista is called the "Smart Cup", and the piston at the bottom of the coffee controls the flow rate of the coffee for full extraction. The "Smart Cup" compensates for the brewer's lack of water flow control when pouring by hand, making it easy for even beginners to brew.
For espresso, Random uses a La Marzocco Strada semi-automatic coffee machine paired with an Anfim Super Caimano Barista competition grinder. According to the different proportions of milk volume, there are three different cup sizes of lattes, 3oz mini latte, 6oz latte and 9oz super latte, the flavor is slightly different, you can choose 3oz mini latte if you like heavy coffee flavor, and you can choose 6oz latte or 9oz super latte if you want to have a light coffee taste. At the same time, espresso can also be selected between traditional blends of beans and SOE, Random's SOE is washed Sidamour, which has a distinct floral and citrus flavor, and the resulting milk coffee has a fresh and soft taste.
If that's not enough to show Random's sincerity with coffee, then the Dutch lab's ice drip machine is sure to entice you to come and try it. This ice drip machine from Dutch lab, a Korean brand specializing in the design of coffee pots, has a steampunk style as a whole, and the ice drip speed can be adjusted to extract three different coffees at the same time, making it easy to compare and make the tasting more interesting.
Located along the foothills of Phoenix Mountain, Random's store has three floors, with a café and dining area on the first floor, a design display area on the second floor for purchases, and an office area on the third floor. The store has a strong sense of design, the store environment is excellent, the use of rectangular elements, clear lines and fresh and jumping color combinations, especially suitable for entering the store in the summer. In 2018, Random planned its second store in Dajing Lane, Hangzhou, where a completely different space and product mix would be presented.
