Bubble Circle Entrepreneurship
In the Bubble Park in 2020, because I was bored and wanted to pass the time, when other players were carrying electric, computers or fishing tackle, Jimmy Butler brought a coffee grinder and all kinds of coffee beans, which cost a lot of money. Time is on steeping coffee, including drinking and brewing better coffee.
And because of the poor quality of coffee in the park, many players would come to ask Butler for coffee, so he thought about it, why not come and make a fortune? “The only thing I was struggling with in Orlando was how to get these guys out of their money,” Butler said with a straight face, as he called out whether it was a latte, a black coffee, or a cappuccino, you name it, Butler They will all be made and delivered to your hands, and each cup costs 20 US dollars. $20 may be expensive for ordinary people, but it is only a fraction for NBA players. “I know they have a lot of cash because there is no place to spend it because of the epidemic, so I decided to take it.”
Butler launched the brand of Big Face Coffee (Big Face Coffee) for fun. At that time, Butler’s Big Face Coffee was considered a trial operation, and he mainly wanted to share his hobbies with other players. He hoped that the players would pay 100 yuan directly, so that he would pretend that he had no money to look for. 100 yuan.” Butler said with a smile.
At the time, Butler’s teammate Goran Dragíc paid Butler a fortune instead. “When I was trying to make money, I didn’t notice that Goran was blackmailing me, and everything was on credit.” Butler said, “I didn’t realize it until the offseason. He is very strategic, and every time he comes to drink coffee, he will chat with me, talk about the world in Slovenia or discuss tomorrow’s game strategy, and then run to practice.”
Butler and his personal trainer are coffee aficionados, sipping their first cup of coffee at breakfast out in the morning, then brewing another with the Big Face travel kit when they return to the hotel. After lunch, Butler will drink another cup, and then the dinner before the game will have another cup, so 5 cups of coffee a day is the basis for Butler.
Usually, in away games, Butler will go to a local coffee shop. Usually he will go to the Big Face Coffee community to see recommendations from netizens, or support some local specialty coffee shops.
After returning to Hoban and receiving the message, he found another grinder that he was planning to open a branch, and Butler also came to pick up the goods himself. “Jimmy Butler came around the corner,” Hoban said, “He said modestly, “Hey buddy, I’m Jimmy.” He shook my hand and I replied, “I know who you are, I’m Ryan, the barista.”
After returning home. Butler will become the family’s exclusive coffee butler, making coffee for everyone when he wakes up, and even his daughter Butler, who is not yet 5 years old, tries to make him drink and watch coffee. Sometimes at home all day long, Butler was even described by friends as being poisoned by coffee. “From playing ball to playing dominoes or poker, Jimmy never leaves his hand with coffee.”
Butler, by his own admission, gets a little caffeine dependent and can’t even remember the last time he didn’t drink coffee. Although he consumes a lot of coffee, Butler has not been affected by caffeine in his sleep at all. “I still sleep well. I drink 10 cups before going to bed, and I can start snoring after 5 minutes. But my trainer said Well, coffee doesn’t make you more awake.”
Butler’s friend said that he has also gradually pointed out coffee-related skill trees recently, including roasting coffee beans, making various coffees, and latte art. He also held many latte art competitions with his friends, “I want to master the entire field , can clearly understand the corners of the coffee industry.”
Butler is not “choosy” about coffee. He likes everything from concentrated, light roasted, drip-dried, cold-brewed, pour-over to latte. “The taste of coffee does not depend on the method of making it, but on the skill of the maker.” Butler says that when he opens a new location, he asks the barista to make his signature coffee.
In addition to coffee itself, Butler likes the relationship that coffee can expand, including sharing. In addition to socializing with coffee in bubble circles, Butler will regularly drink coffee with Heat teammates, including general manager Pat Riley.
Well-known travel media “thrillist” interviewed Butler on the day the interview was not over, he had already drank 4 cups of coffee, “When I sit with my friends to chat and share, one cup of coffee can easily turn into four cups.”
