Wanted to give a update. Its been a 1.5 months now in the new shop, I must say its alot of work for my whole family, but we are enjoying it. We have all the new equip up and running, including the clover (what a amazing machine). Everyone is loving the Intelli beans. We have gotten rid of all the existing regular coffee beans that were in use. People are coming in just for the clover. Now we have to deal with all the things one deals with in running a shop.

We have gotten rid of all the existing regular coffee beans that were in use. People are coming in just for the clover. Now we have to deal with all the things one deals with in running a shop. Including staff issues (thats a challenge). If anyonme here is in the Northern NJ area, come on in and say hello.<br />

Exciting times! Congrats on the plunge into owning a shop. One thing my wife and I learned is that you may initially consider only 30-50% of the necessary tasks of running your own shop (like we did) and find out that it's a LOT more work... but thankfully it is also a LOT of fun if you do it right.. (as it sounds like you will do). Great to have the family involved in such a fun business. Sounds like success! Again, Congrats and good luck.<br />

First group of Staff is set to go to the Intelligentsia training center in NYC. Cant wait to go. Maybe I'll treat the team to dinner at Nobu after the training.<br />
<br />
Whats really cool about all of this is my whole family is involved. My daughter is already working at the shop, my son (he picks the beans) is taking off a semester to help run the shop and my wife will be managing it day to day.<br />
I'll just enjoy drinking great coffee, lol.
