Write to young artists who want to open a coffee shop.

Once upon a time I was a young man of literature and art living in my own heart. This art begins with falling in love with coffee and ends with falling in love with coffee. I fall in love with the leisurely acid of coffee, the mellow thickness of her smooth, the layers of flavor, the sweetness like honey and sugar, and any beautiful scenery on her body. So I accidentally opened a coffee shop.

At the beginning of the preparation, as a newcomer, I did everything myself, from decoration to bar design, from selecting materials to buying a screw. On the official opening day, there was no doubt that the joy in my heart was vast. My coffee career began more than two years ago, and Coffee Coffee set sail in this way. There are two original reasons for opening a shop: 1, to make money, and 2, to make everyone drink good quality coffee.

At that time, boutique coffee was very rare for this slow-tuned city, and the freshness of a cup of coffee was very important, so I began to buy my own raw beans and roast them by myself, starting from scratch. Completely rely on their own exploration to bake more decent coffee beans. The quality of raw beans determines the basic flavor of a cup of coffee. without good raw beans, there will be no good coffee, so through the relationship between Xiamen and Taiwan, our fine beans are basically purchased from Taiwan. this also largely avoids some mainland raw bean merchants to exchange bad raw beans, even if the cost is much higher, but our quality can be guaranteed. Some time ago, a customer who bought an Ethiopian bean from my Taobao also bought the same bean from another baker twice and found that although the price was 10 yuan / half a pound cheaper than ours, the flavor was not as good as ours. I also know the baker, the baking technology is really good, and the roaster is much more expensive than us, and later I communicated with him privately. He found that there was something wrong with his raw beans, and he didn't even know that the raw bean merchants had tampered with it.

Opening a coffee shop is very tiring and it is not easy to make money, but there are a lot of people scrambling to climb into this hole. If you are a coffee-loving coffee shop, I will certainly support it, but if you want to enjoy life and open a coffee shop, it must not be far from closing down. This is like a flower appreciator who never understands the hard work of the gardener and always feels that the gardener is a way to enjoy life in the picturesque garden every day, but he doesn't know that if he doesn't have the gardener's love and persistence on plants, maybe he can't even plant a leaf.

Coffee is a long and bumpy road, so let's do it and cherish it.
