A friend and I just recently had an espresso machine breakdown and were forced to offer strictly drip coffee. We brewed up chemex pots. I was amazed at how people were willing to wait for a simple cup of brewed coffee, but more amazing was the amount of questions we received about the coffee, brew methods, taste profiles and etc. Not to mention the sale of whole bean quadrupled during the 4 hour time period.
I am interested to know about businesses that are having success with coffee outside of the mainstream coffee shop. A place people go to get quality coffee and equipment to brew at home and perhaps a selection of fresh roasted single origins offered in various brewing methods without the distractions espresso and the like tend to bring about.
