Ground Floor Coffee @ground_floor_coffee Adhwa Hasif, photographer and barista
SR: Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Ground Floor Coffee: My name is Hasif, I’m 32 and a full-time photographer with two amazing kids. As a photographer, I spend long hours doing post-production. I often take breaks in between to brew coffee and rest my eyes.
How did you start your coffee business?
Over time, I got more intrigued by the coffee brewing process and started to experiment with various beans and milk. Whenever I had guests over, I’d let them try my latest flavour. Eventually, I decided to purchase a Gaggia Classic Pro and a Mahlkönig grinder.
The idea to sell coffee through the window came about when my wife and I ordered cupcakes from a fellow home-based business. There were a few bags hanging at the gate and we had to look for ours. I never saw the owner or got to talk to them. It felt “strictly business” and I hated that.
I decided to open my window and use that as our self-pickup point so I could meet my customers and thank them personally. That few seconds of friendly conversation is very important to me because it not only creates trust but we also make a lot of friends along the way!
