A UX study on building online coffee experience for a brand


Towards Building the best coffee experience


Brief Given-

Mr. Bean’s, an Indian chain of coffeehouses with over 300 outlets nationwide has established a vision to transform its digital customer experience. To execute this vision Mr. Bean’s is working on a digital strategy specifically aimed at its Roastmasters coffee club members and coffee connoisseurs who make up to 45% of their customer base.


Challenge

There are three major aspects of the strategy:
1. Awareness and Endorsement
Informing customers of the various coffee blends and beans available at Mr. Bean’s
2. Conversion and Subscription
Roastmasters coffee club subscription service and merchandise sales online
3. Incentivization and Retention
Discount offers and special events for coffee club members

Time span

1 day

Objective 


What does a user seek in in that coffee experience, how can an app aid in the same?


Goal

While everything is now being conducted online and from home, we build the best experience that we can give to people from here to home.


From being a drink that captures us from all the ways, may it be smell, colour, taste , social togetherness, energy booster, this drink has surely captivated users to next level. Keeping the Mr. Bean's ideals of making awareness, endorsement and online sales in mind, we make the best coffee experience that could be done from online User Interface.


Brand strategy

Mr. bean as a brand is giving-Coffees( blends) that are possible to make from their coffee.

Scope: Since going app based, can reach to number of user with various possible ways and varieties and not just coffee houses or restaurants. Additional benefit with app based online platform - Advertisement about the café.

"Can we provide the best coffee experience possible at home?"

Limitation: Roastmaster plans sticks to traditional way of doing coffee.



Design Process


Understanding the desires, needs, motivations, and contexts of people using products and thereby further understanding the core needs ( the in depth need of user).

Research Insights on user needs and wants - deep diving :

Desire to shop, Frequency of shopping, Motivation to shop, priorities, function, preference, opportunity, expertise etc. gathered by different responses , here is task flow of all the times user drinks coffee with all the responses and mind mapping the same.







By Understanding the user's: the one's who are coffee connoisseurs and are members of roastmaster's club or would like to be one.

 Their Goals:

Experience goals- Feel cool 

Life goals- Stay connected with friends and family and Get the best deal

End goals- Be attractive, popular, and respected by my peers
 


Demographic (target audience) : from the age of 16 to 40, the people are coffee lovers.

Age 16-25 will like to have conversations around and have the ‘ Go to place’ as coffee café.
25- 40 will have it as regular intake during morning and evening and for people to come around at their house.


PAIN POINTS

1.       While there are so many available, I don’t the which is the best.
2.       Where to go and buy the best ones. The coffee café as limited varieties only.
3.       Can someone assist me in buying the best coffee?
4.       Can it be delivered automatically after judging after knowing my needs in a particular time.
5.       Can there be several package and tastes.



User Want: Good coffees make them look like good host and people therefore like to have the best of it around home. In order to do so, they will get extra mile to get it done by specialist and experts.


Strategy is to happen from making a platform for advertisement to hooking the customers by their subscription model and further keeping them tied up with discounts and offers of being member of the coffee community or become one.

  • Quick customisation
  • Many varieties and reviews
  • Seamless flow

Towards making things usable


Elevating the experience in India needs professional equipment’s related to it and India being the largest producer and best provider, which is mostly exported, needs to be well showcased with good natural photographs of the same.
