Coffee Industry Insider

I’m an entrepreneur researching the coffee industry before making a significant investment. I’m not looking for consulting services or a business plan. I’m looking for someone who has real, hands-on experience in one or more of these areas: * Green coffee importing * Coffee exporting * Coffee trading * Coffee roasting * Coffee sourcing * Operating a coffee business * Working at an established coffee company The goal is a candid 1–3 hour conversation about how the industry actually works. Topics include: * Where companies really make money * What newcomers misunderstand * Daily operations * Supply chain * Margins * International sourcing * Relationships with producers * Travel * Scaling a coffee company * Industry trends * Biggest mistakes you’ve seen I’m looking for honesty—not sales pitches. Please include: * Your background * Years in the industry * Countries you’ve worked in * Current role (if applicable)
