Bellissimo received an email from a business and economics professor, Kevin Boyd, who is starting his own espresso business: "Thanks so much for writing Bean Business Basics. While I've never spent that much for a book before, I've never received as much value per dollar spent either. Your book is clear, concise, informative and eye-opening. I honestly can't understand how anyone could even consider entering the specialty coffee business without first reading your "manual" (although I've seen plenty of sad examples of those who have)."
What leaders in the specialty coffee industry say about Bean Business Basics:
Bean Business Basics is a comprehensive and detailed study of the business side of the specialty coffee industry. This excellent instructional manual should be purchased and carefully studied by anyone investigating the opportunities of opening a coffee cafe, coffee kiosk, or espresso cart. A small investment in your education can yield huge dividends in your operating results.
Ted R. Lingle, Executive Director, Specialty Coffee Association of America
Read it and don't weep! Armed with the information in this manual, success in the specialty coffee business will be a breeze. Whether new, existing, or adding specialty coffee to your food service operation, this book makes great sense. Congratulations to Bellissimo for finally pulling together all the information one needs.
Ward Barbee, Publisher, Fresh Cup Magazine
Finally, the coffee business made clear! Bruce Milletto and Ed Arvidson aren't trying to be coffee gurus...but that is what makes them the common sense gurus of coffee business management. This book is clearly the first choice I would recommend to anyone starting in the coffee business. Before the business plan, bank meetings, visits with equipment vendors, read this book! No existing text is as comprehensive about both the business and the bean, telling you in plain English what you need to succeed. This is the definitive coffee business text.
