Story
Forget Starbucks - there's an entire world of coffee waiting to be discovered. Around two billion cups of coffee are consumed across the world every day. Second only to crude oil, it’s the world’s largest traded commodity. The origin of coffee is shrouded in legend, and no one knows for sure exactly how it was discovered (although its discovery is largely attributed to a herd of energetic Ethiopian goats in AD 850). It’s little wonder, then, that coffee is so steeped in culture, with a rich history and a complex social and cultural narrative.

Am I ready?
NO, is the resounding answer that this lovely author and narrator team helped me figure out. The narrator is even-toned and a blessing to my sensitive ears. She also speaks in a neutral way that isn't boring but also doesn't make me feel like I am making the worst decision of my life. I have pages and pages of a to-do list because of this book and am so glad I found it.

Practical Outline of information
This is a great book to help you decide whether or not you are ready to open your own coffee shop. This author has thought of everything for you and explained the bullet points of each idea. There are things I didn't think about that are so simple. For example, what are you going to serve? well, coffee obviously. But I hadn't even thought of flavor profiles, caffeinated and decaffeinated, which brands, or where to source from. This book doesn't miss a thing. You will feel prepared and informed after listening to this book.

This was phenomenal. Being in corporate most my life and always being in and out of coffee shops with business; I’ve always been curious about the adventure of owning my own coffee shop. This book makes all of that so much more clear in easy to understand chapters. I highly recommend this to anybody interested in owning a grand coffee shop or just a casual java lover. 5/5!
