Coffee Shop Equipment

In previous posting I stated that I always want to open my own coffee shop. I will start it with a small one, and the best option is in my friend's restaurant. Where I provide the coffee for his customers, it also will increase his customers. Since the customer can come anytime not only during meal time like lunch or dinner.

I also have interesting business model and products for the customers. Especially with the specialty on gourmet coffee and the pairing of gourmet coffee.

This is my espresso machine that I need: Rancilio Lucy


And this is the coffee grinder, Bodum Antigua:

The list of the equipments that I need to have to start the business are:
  • Espresso machine Rancilio Lucy : USD 800
  • Knock box, tamper, timer,milk jug : USD 150
  • Set of Bodum French press (6 set) : USD 300
  • Burr Coffee grinder : USD 200
  • Cups, shot glass and glassware : USD 150
Total amount that I need is USD 1,600.

With that amount of money I can open my own coffee shop and you become my investor. So, anybody interested to lent me the capital to start?
My business model is amazing and will give you outstanding profit and return of investment.

If you are interested, please send an email to menahem.zen@gmail.com and I will be glad to serve you.

Life...

What do you know about life?
It teaches lessson, it hits you severely and leave a scar when the wound is healed. But it also keeps you high above when you determine to achieve what you want.
Remember my posting about the rock bottom? When life slammed me down real hard, give me bruises and some severe wounds. I stayed down for quite some time. But I had to climb up from that rock bottom. It is gonna me a steep climb, but I will make it.

I am a meshugener, so I can do anything required to climb up. I am not an average normal person.
With these ups and downs in life that I have been living, I see that my life is so colorful. I never stay put in one condition for too long. I always constantly on the move. A friend of mine once asked me, "Why are you always on the run?"

I just answered, "Because life is full of surprise, and I wanna see and experience them. If I stay put or move too slow, I might miss the opportunity to experience life to the fullest."

Yeap... that's it.
Being in between job like what I am now is tough. Especially when it has been going for several months. When all my application and interview is not working. But, life goes on.
I had time to learn and deepen my understanding about my passion: coffee.

I always want to have my own coffee shop.
Since I am a coffee-connoisseur and I have a very high passion on coffee. This time I have laid my plan one step at a time and see what requires to open a coffee shop. Oh ya, I can also operate an espresso machine and make a foam milk for a cappuccino.
I can easily recognize the origin of gourmet coffee and how to pair them with suitable food or snack. This is my advantage.

All I need to do now is buying a set of espresso machine, and finding some place to open my first coffee shop. The best options is to collaborate with a friend of mine who owns a restaurant where I provide the coffee for his customers.

I will provide more details in the next posting

Fighting the Clouds in Mind

I am fighting the clouds in my mind... Fighting it so hard
My mind is so cloudy and have a lot of confusion. I have to get rid of it, and it is so difficult, but I can work through it. I know I can. In my position like now, it is a struggle to keep my head above the water for I am already drown in the high water.
Help me... Hashem yaazor.

Confused...

I woke up this morning feeling confused.
I feel like I am lost and don't know what to do. I believe long months of no appropriate income has weakened my spirit. I feel so tired and worn out.
Feels like I don't know what to do. Help me please.
Hashem yaazor, Hashem yaazor Hashem yaazor.

This Ox year...

Gee... This ox year is sooooo painfully slow.
As a rat, my characteristic is a fast-paced, aggressive and a chaser. But the year of Ox is a very slow paced, contemplative and passive.

I really have a difficult time to deal with the slow paced of this Ox year. Although there are opportunities, I can't seem to grab them quickly as I used to do. The nature of the ox and the earth element of this year is so boring.
As suggested that in this year, as a rat I have to remain conservative in spending money. But I didn't. So my saving is depleted.

It is the nature of rat to chase and charge for food, as I always do. But the slow paced of this year makes me chasing something that is not there yet. Then what I have to do? Apparently waiting until the opportunity comes up. This is not the game I like, but the Ox year love this game. So for all this years I have to play this game of slow and boring game... Then, when the opportunity comes up, i will grab them and take them with speed and force.

Yesterday meeting

I had a meeting with a friend of mine who owns a company and starting up a new one.
The meeting was initiated by my request for help to some friends regarding my need of a job. He responded and set a meeting. I am grateful for his kindness and sincerity. We had done a project together a way back in the early 2000, so basically he knew my capability and qualification. We had a meeting over a coffee. I like the ambiance in the meeting and moreover the prospect of the company.

Baruch hashem I want this job to become mine. I can do it and I know I can.
