Best Practices

• •Emphasize "Community" and "Welcome": Use inviting language that makes people feel like they belong. Words like "your," "neighbor," "gather," "welcome," "haus" (their spelling) reinforce this.
• •Highlight Quality with Passion, Not Pretense: Talk about the craft of coffee roasting and drink preparation with enthusiasm, but avoid overly technical jargon or a snobbish tone. Keep it accessible and appreciative.
• •Keep it Local: Regularly mention Austin, their specific neighborhoods (South Lamar, Sunset Valley), and their partnerships with local vendors. This grounds the brand in its community.
• •Be Authentic and Down-to-Earth: Use a conversational, friendly style. Let the genuine passion for coffee and community shine through without being overly polished or corporate. Share real moments and stories when possible.
• •Infuse a Touch of Resilience and Positivity: While not dwelling on the past, the spirit behind the "Resistance" blend (overcoming challenges together) can be subtly woven into messages of community strength and shared positive experiences.
