Jimmy Butler recently took his off-court passion to a new level by opening the first brick-and-mortar\u00a0BigFace Coffee shop<\/a>\u00a0in Miami’s Design District. The venture marks a significant milestone in Butler’s entrepreneurial journey, which began in the NBA Bubble of 2020, where he famously charged his teammates $20 per cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

During the COVID-restricted NBA Bubble,\u00a0Butler\u00a0capitalized on the lack of coffee options by starting a makeshift coffee business from his hotel room. What began as a side hustle evolved into a full-fledged passion project. By 2021, Butler had officially launched BigFace Coffee as an online brand, showcasing his dedication to premium coffee culture.<\/p>\n

Butler\u2019s commitment to the craft is evident in his relentless pursuit of coffee excellence. He traveled to coffee farms in Costa Rica to learn about the business and once spent $65,000 on 1,000 pounds of premium El Salvador coffee beans.<\/p>\n

His passion didn\u2019t stop at sourcing beans\u2014he also studied specialty coffee-making techniques, striving to perfect his craft. In October 2021, BigFace Coffee expanded with pop-up shops in New York City and Miami, and even became the official coffee sponsor for ATP and WTA tennis events.<\/p>\n
