My Coffee House that Never Happened

A beautiful sight

When I was around 20 or 21 (half my age ago), I wanted to start a coffee shop.

I’ve loved the coffee house vibe, e.g. from Friends. Loved coffee, lattes. Who doesn’t?

The hamburger shop/grill across from the university’s computer science department had just shut down. And it was a perfect location, because it was a corner that stuck into the university.

DIY hand-roasted coffee

Or… “that one time I hand-roasted coffee on the stove…”.

A couple of weeks ago, I was inspired by Jeff Goins’ post on how he basically “created” a coffee company in 48 hours. Since his site and email list are kinda aggressive on the marketing side, I’m not going to link to it. You can find it via Google if you want. (Jeff, if you’re reading this, no offense intended. And don’t hesitate to get in touch for ideas on how your marketing could be improved.)
