Coffee At Events eBook Review

Looking to get into the coffee business, but don’t have the money to invest in opening up a brick and mortar coffee shop? Coffee At Events, an eBook might have the solution for you. It’s a guide to starting your own mobile coffee business.

I’ll admit that owning my own coffee truck wasn’t part of my game plan in 2010, but when the author offered me a review copy, I decided to take a look and see if it was worth passing on to you guys and gals. After reading through it this weekend, I definitely think it’s worth checking out if you’re interested in starting your own mobile coffee business. In fact, I think it’s a must read if you want to start your own coffee shop on wheels.

Coffee@Events: A Guide to Setting Up and Operating a Mobile Coffee Business is a 128 page eBook for anyone wanting to set up a business selling coffees at outdoor events, with a focus on specialty or what the author calls real coffee.

Jack Harrison is a coffee industry veteran of more than twenty years and wrote the book to share his experiences and knowledge with perspective business owners. He believes that by following his advice it’s possible to make a very profitable business selling coffee.

The eBook is hands on and practical guide to starting your own coffee house on wheels. It covers all of the details from what kind of coffee grinders to buy to maximizing profit without losing quality. My favorite parts are when he talks about the finer details of making good coffee and when he talks about the finer details of dealing with shady event organizers.

The only thing that I didn’t like about this eBook is that it made me want to start my own coffee business. Unfortunately for you guys, I’m probably going to stick to blogging for now.

The price for the eBook is only £3.99 or about $6.50 in dollars. I expected the price to be a lot higher for this guide, but at the price even if I was just curious about starting my own coffee business, it would be a tiny investment that I couldn’t pass up. That’s less than the price of two white chocolate mochas at Starbucks.

    Not having read it, I’d say this guy is probably right.

    We have two farmers markets in the city where I live, and both of them have “start-up” coffee businesses that only serve there. And they make A KILLING. One of them has been around for a while, and recently renovated the stand they occupy with their equipment and changed their name to “Mean Cup” with a logo of a coffee mug with an angry face (lol), and there is always a huge line. They use locally roasted coffee, they get loose leaf tea through an importer, and they know their stuff. You can also buy take-home bags of the coffee they have available in many roasts and flavors. They always feature a different regional, roast, flavor, and decaf every day they’re open, which is only Tues, Fri., and Sat. Not a bad way to make a living!

      Not a bad way at all! I know there’s a couple farmer’s markets near me that have mobile coffee businesses, I’d love to run one…at least when the weather is nice.
