What I Know About Running Coffee Shops by Colin Harmon is a book based on his experience as a four-time Irish barista champion and owner of Dublin's 3fe Coffee. It draws directly from what he learned while building 3fe from a "one-man coffee cart" in a nightclub lobby to an internationally renowned business, offering a combination of lessons, stories, and practical guidance on how to actually run a coffee shop in everyday reality.
The book is conceived as an honest insight into what many people imagine to be a dream job, but which in reality is based on system, discipline, and good decisions. According to Cairngorm Coffee, it is richly illustrated, full of humorous stories and practical advice, and aimed at anyone who wants to either build their coffee shop from scratch or take it to a more stable and professional level.
