Wow, at 7g/single espresso shot that equals to nearly 6 of them a day. You got some serious addiction going on.


Very Happy Yeah, I suppose I do. A typical day is 4 shots of espresso and a pot of French Press coffee. Espresso doesn't have all that much caffeine, though any caffeine I'm not getting from that I instead get from all the tea I drink as well.

The best business model is one where you take an existing product, tweak it and market it in the correct way.

I loved this coffee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak when I was in Vietnam, why not try it 'Korean style,' have some ajummas' eat a load of coffee beans, crap them out and roast them afterwards.

I think this product would be hugely successful and there is a glut of ajummas' out there willing to help you out.

You could start off paying the w5,000 an hour so your startup costs would be low!

You could have a label of each one on the back of the coffee telling the buyer a little about each of their life histories.


Haha, this is the best idea ever. Definitely do this!

Survey your market environment.

Are there many other roasters?

Otherwise, you aren't splitting the atom here.

I hate to say it, but it seems that far too many Koreans seem to equate "entrepreneurship" with...opening a cafe, because that's not working for a chaebol, so surely it's innovative.

There are four coffee shops on my block offering their own roasted beans for exorbitant prices.

Make it more than a roastery. An artspace? Live music venue? Improv? Otherwise...You are no different from Angel-in-Us.
