'What I Know About' book bundle by Colin Harmon
Two books from Colin Harmon, one complete story of 3fe
Read together, these books cover 3fe's whole journey: getting a cafe open and running well, to figuring out what comes next.
What I Know About Running Coffee Shops is drawn from Colin’s experience building 3fe from a one-man cart in a nightclub lobby into the internationally renowned business it is today. The lessons, stories and guidelines offer a unique and honest insight into the day-to-day realities of what many people see as their dream job.
What I Know About Growing a Coffee Business is the follow-up. It tells the story of 3fe’s growth from a business focused on serving great cups of coffee into one that operates across the entire coffee landscape. From opening new cafés, to working with food and at festivals, from being a coffee consultant to buying, roasting and shipping beans around the world, it tells the stories behind Colin’s drive to take on more projects and his determination to build a process that makes each one work as harmoniously as possible.
