Chill Your Beans - Hyvä Coffee Shop

Chill Your Beans is now live at chillyourbeans.co.uk!

This specialty coffee micro-roastery is the culmination of months of development, proving that small businesses can absolutely thrive using Magento 2 in 2026. Built on Hyvä's free license tier with Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS, the site achieves exceptional performance while keeping costs minimal.

What We Built:

The site features a beautiful, conversion-focused design with a striking yellow and black brand identity. The homepage immediately communicates the brand's values: small batch, specialty coffee from outstanding farms worldwide, with freshly roasted beans, ethical sourcing, and free shipping on orders over £40.

Product Experience:

Each coffee has a detailed product page showcasing the origin story, tasting notes, and processing method. The Mexico Pocitos Natural Geisha, for example, is a Cup of Excellence winner from Veracruz - a rare Geisha variety that underwent 30-hour anaerobic fermentation. Customers can choose their preferred grind type: Whole Bean, Filter, Espresso, or French Press.

Educational Content:

The Guides section helps customers get the most from their beans with beautifully designed brewing method cards. From classic Pour Over to Cold Brew, each guide provides specific ratios, temperatures, and timing for perfect results every time.

Technical Achievements:

• 90+ Lighthouse scores across all metrics
• Sub-2-second page load times
• Fully responsive design
• Hyvä's Alpine.js for lightweight interactivity
• Tailwind CSS for maintainable styling
• Stripe payment integration
• 1% for the Planet partnership

Mission Accomplished:

This project successfully challenges the perception that Magento is "too expensive" or "too complex" for small businesses. With Hyvä's free license and modern development practices, enterprise-grade e-commerce is now accessible to micro-businesses and startups.
