Selling Coffee Online

[alanbrooks29]

Curious to know if anyone can recommend a coffee business where someone (me) could market good, quality coffee products at a reasonable price and make a living working from home (or wherever my laptop is)?? Much appreciated.

That's a tough one. There is a lot of competition out there for the online coffee market. How willing are you to spend over 50% of your day keeping your website at the top of the search engines and the rest of the day filling orders, along with all the other business related tasks that go with running a business. Things like marketing, ordering inventory (don't want to run out of a product, it can take some time to restock), packaging for UPS shipment, etc, etc, etc. And that's for any type of coffee business.

DrinkinJava is right. My wife and I started a coffee business over a year ago. The competition is stiff to be sure. There is the online store, keeping the website viable, filling orders, shipping, etc... The strong temptation is to make it pay quickly...but with all the competition, and the current high price of coffee, only years of effort will get you there. Keep trying different retail mixes and find one that works for you and your market.

Have you considered your market? Is your market more high end or low end? This would affect the capital needed to start your coffee store. Also, as an investment have you taken into account your ongoing costs such as your employee salaries and the cost of coffee and supplies. There are all different ranges from your cheap traditional coffee to the high end acid free Tylers Coffees, which you could charge a premium for in your coffee shop.

I live in Seoul and I usually order organic Vietnamese coffee from a shop called Huongmai Cafe (you can google it). Coffee is so nice and smooth (I cant drink it strong ) but couldnt last long because the coffee is fresh packed, but very worth a try. I addicted to their product haha

hi Chaeungi, welcome to forum. can you tell me the "organic Vietnam coffee" is Arabica or Robusta?
also when you say "you can not drink it strong", is that mean "caffeine"? or "the degree of coffee roast (light, medium or dark roast)"?
finally, when you say "fresh packed", you mean the bag is "sealed"? "vacuum packed" or "with one way air valve"?

As with a new business (but in Finland) I can answer to the asker that it's really difficult to stand out from all the competition with an online store unless you have loads of money for advertising. I would recommend a coffee shop instead to get a steady income. There are many roasteries and online coffee shops worldwide and you have to come up with something really unique and special to stand out. But not meant to be discouraging, you should do what you love to do but be aware that it is difficult business.

EDIT: Oh, it was an old topic, didn't realize . Hope the online store is going well.

Hi, I have had the same question and problem doing some home roasting, thus I decided to develop ForArtisans.com, that should assist with the abovementioned challenge. I am sure advertising your products here could assist with broadening your scope of sales and exposure to new clients.

The business of artisan roasting in focused on clients that is not as price sensitive as they are flavour/quality sensitive. This creates the opportunity for producers (assuming their product is GOOD) to differentiate on those qualities. And that in turn makes it a lot more realistic for the small producer to sell in a highly fragmented market.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
