I Started a Coffee Company!

[@fknight]

My new coffee company, First Supply Coffee --- firstsupplycoffee.com Follow First Supply Coffee on Instagram --- instagram.com/firstsupplycoffee I've been working on building this coffee company on and off for over a year. I'm stoked to announce today as the official launch date for First Supply Coffee! Your support in KZbin and this new venture is more appreciated than you know. I'm so grateful for every one of you and the community we've built. Here's to 2020!

[@dromanjay]

The website looks amazing! There's a small issue that I encountered; when you're on the "coffee" section, the "about us" link doesn't work. Thought I should let you know. Looking forward to seeing First Supply Coffee grow. 757 baby!

[@mentalmarvin]

Yup, navbar links doesn't work outside the landing page. The quantity input doesn't show any numbers in Firefox. And make sure to have a direct link to the privacy policy. It's a great looking site, and enjoy growing your own business!

[@arkodeepghosh8653]

I would personally like a footer of higher width

[@myah3arts29]

Also it would be nice if you can make a tutorial or video on how you started your coffee business! Giving tips and ideas or advice etc! What. Offe suppliers did you go to? I can’t make my own coffee beans but I rather buy from a roaster? Or coffee supplier? And sell it off? Can I do that? Or do I really need to make my own coffee to start?

[@devinreese2481]

You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any help you can offer me

[@clem]

Dude, this is so awesome! Best of luck on this venture, and as a coffee addict myself, I'll be sure to try out First Supply Coffee in the near future!

[@beast4000]

Ayyeee Clément FTW!!

[@coder4life]

Collab incoming?

[@seangad8227]

Hey Clement, make video with Forrest Knight

[@claudiopio1178]

I´m from Brazil if I leave in the USA probably would try first supply too.

[@jamescareyart]

So what happened with the coffee company? Went to your website, looks like it’s no longer active.

[@feliciabacon9923]

Is your website still up? Everytime I click on the links it takes me to your KZbin channel.

[@karsonmitchell7263]

First, dude that coffee thing sounds really cool

[@thelonlypanda1]

why...its not like its a unique idea. Its a new fad/trend

[@seanS196]

I've worked in ecommerce for a couple of years, heres some quick tips on the page to increase sales. I'd add a review section on your product page, and also more info about the coffee on the actual product page(people like to scroll down). Make sure you start a hashtag so you can collect customers photos of your coffee and add to the site, we life in the age of social proof after all. Can't wait to try the coffee! :)

[@ksubyslowed]

This is dope! Wasn't expecting this so I always appreciate originality!

[@destinedwolf]

ordered. i adore coffee. bring on the coffeeeee

[@fknight]

Absolutely!! Much appreciated!

[@f0cus246]

10:23 missed opportunity to say first supply of First Supply Coffee

[@alantinoalantonio]

That's awesome, congrats!! Will order as soon as I can!

[@theshuz]

Watching this in Nov. "I hope 2020 is going to be an amazing year..." Oh what none of us knew

[@rodrigorodriguez2299]

Can’t find your website? Is it still up or have you gave up?

[@sturdycode7265]

LETS GOO! congrats dude, wishing you much success. My wife and I are trying to open a coffee shop in NYC, going to need some of that coffee soon

[@unknownghost7410]

I own a coffee business in NYC bro

[@robbiehollar5612]

I know I'm late to the party lol but, what was the rough cost of getting it started? If you don't mind me asking

[@emiledesrosiers2132]

FYI : when you click on the Coffee tab, about us and contact disappears ...

[@midniteespresso6900]

Great to see yet another product of hard work and determination. Hopefully your continuing the process and succeeding within your business meanwhile it is a fun yet patient business. We're always excited to see fellow coffee distributors enjoying their business journey.

[@Aziqfajar]

Oh my, didn't know you would invest in coffee. Like a year before, I'd asked Joshua if he would like to, but he doesn't want to. I wish you good luck on your startup!

[@Aziqfajar]

Also the history behind you was a shock, because you have the information dated back long time ago.

[@Aziqfajar]

The website's looking great! But minor mistake where you couldn't navigate from 'our coffee' tab to 'about us' tab. Maybe there's an issue behind it?

[@markdoe6118]

So did this already go out of business? Or is the website no longer in use

[@shadoelado631]

i had the same question

[@seanallen]

Congrats on the launch, Forrest!

[@Anthony755]

1:34 nice save there dropping the knife but editing that out xD

[@mr.holiday6069]

ForrestKnight, there is a problem with the web page, if you go on the coffe page, and then click the about us button, nothing happens.

[@TheNewton]

@ForrestKnight fyi a native subscription feature is in the works for shopify, never hurts to ask their support if there's a beta signup.

[@marcosrocha7661]

I love coffee! Awesome Company name, awesome Logo, awesome Website, awesome script and storytelling on the video. I’m from Brazil, I wish I could try out your coffee. Started watching your videos yesterday and I’m already a big fan. You’re doing it the right away buddy.

[@rentube25]

i’m proud of you man! Keep up the good work!

[@fknight]

Much appreciated!

[@kader.1234]

so how do you get your “coffee” to sell? and don’t get sue

[@kennethporst1738]

Go get em man shout out to YOU

[@raf99a16]

Shout out to You man!!! Congratulations!!

[@johnvargasiv2886]

As a coffee lover this makes me happy and I can't wait to try this!!🙏

[@jamez34]

dude! as a habitual coffee drinker you really did your thing on this, clean website, clean logo, just everything to the bag itsself and i just know the coffee will be just as great. Wow! proud of you Forrest i'll definitely be buying a bag!

[@User-pu3lc]

How did this business end up? Links keep looping me back to the youtube channel.

[@nathanieldetsicas7929]

man i wish i could justify ordering some, coffee is a huge passion of mine but the shipping alone is $22 to the uk. Good luck though! make a name for yourself!

[@matinsahab2189]

hey dude, I hope you see this comment because I guess it is so important what I want to say is when you hover on buy now button the color goes blue instead, as you have designed it so professional I think the coffee bag color would make a better fit.

[@claudiopio1178]

Hi ForrretKnight, you did a very professional presentation. You are really good!

[@ameliapomgx7463]

Where did you get those bags? They look very good!

[@oussamadjaalali7702]

Congratulation man really happy to see you doing what you want

[@dragonballsuper1519]

Good luck man. Nice clean website btw! Make sure you get into Facebook ads and try finding a few good coffee influencers to do reviews.

[@jakeh4648]

Super excitied to hear about this! Can't wait to get my hands on some, congrats!!!

[@o_wojcikiewicz]

Nice work man, I really like the website & have no doubts the coffee tastes amazing as well.

[@martingomez8142]

Congrats. Best of luck on this new chapter.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

First Supply Coffee Company! What an awesome name.

[@digiwhale]

Order #1004. Cant wait man!

[@fknight]

You're awesome - thank you!!

[@drewbird87]

Literally watching you talk about Jamestown while riding the ferry into Jamestown. Congratulations to you and your wife!

[@aakankshagoyal18]

Hi! I couldn’t find the website, is the business still running? I would really appreciate and grateful for the opportunity to be able to connect with you! Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

[@CarlosFernandez-ch9vy]

Awesome idea! I really like the presentation of the bean bags. Best of luck on your new company.

[@tnw4xe]

What happened to this ? You stopped on 2020 never picked it up again ?

[@TheNewton]

8:11 udesly "adapter" ($16/yr) is the theme converter referenced to turn a webflow design into a shopify theme. Great for iterating on design, rapid prototyping and making MVP's but caveats for growth, like it can easily create a blindspot of not knowing what features the target platform's theme system is capable of doing. When using *any* _automatic-code-generators_ for a business keep an eye on the long term maintenance as things like hiring experts to implement changes, or installing some apps,third-party integrations,etc will become inefficient versus code built from the ground for a specific platform like shopify that has conventions to ease web development. Also udesly "resources"($50/yr) are plugin like features they offer that are javascript based so just like shopify-frontend-apps probably best used in moderation so don't to use too many on one page without proper testing the performance of your webpages.

[@happydaze4213]

How did this venture go? An update vid would be awesome as I’m currently in the same boat

[@KamalakshaDe95]

bitter than the dark roast

[@eliasreyes6236]

The website looks great! Is the about us page not completed yet? whenever i click on it it does nothing, but I love the home page of it!

[@fknight]

Just doesn't work on coffee page. I'll fix that tomorrow - thanks for letting me know!

[@eliasreyes6236]

@@fknight of course man! also i have a friend, Mathew wright, who also runs his own coffee company (for a few years now) similar to yours. I'm sure he'd be glad to help you if you needed to in any way! It's called "Lanaco Coffee" www.lanocacoffee.com/

[@oussamazakire64]

congrats bro nice step

[@ethandominguez181]

Awesome video, did you design the packaging? Did you use hot stamping to stamp the logo on the bag? Looks great!

[@benjaminboeneke3328]

I guess you got busy or the company didn't take off. Tried to visit your site with no luck

[@TechRageLinux]

Just placed my order! Can't wait to try it out :) I wish you best of luck with your new venture!

[@mvthew]

Congrats and good luck! Awesome stuff, might have to pick up a bag.

[@OptionGal]

Congratulations on the new venture! So surprised when I tuned in to get the latest programmer/coding tidbit and saw that you started a coffee company!

[@fishemmanuel1982]

went to the website to buy and the website is gone, therefore I asume is not longer in business and this video produces more money than the coffee company

[@santiagorestrepo2717]

Bro so happy for you and excited for this new venture of yours! Huge coffee addict myself so I’ll be sure to order once my next pay check comes in. Best of luck and continue to inspire us

[@dspinoy]

Bro, where do you warehouse your coffee and how you fullfill it

[@fronix5060]

I think you have ascended to peak hipsterness mate! Looking good ;)

[@jeremypemberton4314]

Can someone help me understand the part at 5:50? "Import it into Shopify" I just started coding and haven't gotten very far, why would it be difficult to import a website from your code to Shopify, and why is it important to import a website into Shopify?

[@bhuber77]

Any updates? Are you still doing this?

[@demohub]

Good job brother. All the best to you on this venture.

[@thecoffeehouseclub]

Man that’s awesome your in VA beach I’m in Fredericksburg myself. Not often you see you tubers from VA.

[@ben154451]

Can you tell a little about how did you assamble your blend? and how did you understand its good enough to sell... very intresting. thanks!

[@johnswan6450]

I know I messaged you already on Facebook but this is awesome can't wait to get some. Danielle and I love coffee.

[@TeamxOpTiCAirSoftx]

Do you mind saying who the coffee roaster is behind creating this ?

[@stevensong8784]

First you created this KZbin channel. Now a coffee company. Seizing your imagination and bringing it to life. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Hyerin77]

How did you approach roasters to ask them to roast for you?

[@rashidk7223]

Good luck dude, wish you all the best!

[@TrenBlack]

Thats fucking dope dude!

[@iamthebull5SH]

This is my opinion, but on the home page where you have the description of the coffee and then the background with the coffee cups, the text there is difficult to read.

[@spuggies]

this is awesome! i noticed on the website that if you click on the 'coffee' tab then the 'about us' from the coffee tab, it doesn't do anything. idk if that helps! anyways, this is great!

[@fknight]

Noted. Thanks!

[@letsfly662]

Good luck Forrest! And also an amazing next video would how you developed the site? Maybe some walkthroughs, what components, languages, frameworks you used etc?

[@karthikrajk8070]

All the Best! Keep doing what you love... :)

[@theangryavacado]

How do you find a coffee roaster to brew your coffee brand?

[@dspinoy]

Hi, What's the name of the coffee roasters in Virginia Beach you use

[@jonbca]

Congrats on launching the coffee company. Checked out the website, which looks great. Wanted to mention that it looks like the original images (non-webp versions) aren't optimized for web. Loading some of the pages in Safari took about 20-30 seconds. Give me a shout if you need any additional details. Again, congrats!

[@MemphianX]

Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉🍾

[@alexilivshitz6123]

Congratulations! That's a cool story. Your website looks great. Just in case you are interested, I noticed a small bug where ABOUT US and CONTACT menu choices disappear once I click on COFFEE. I am very selective of coffee brands myself so can relate to your passion to find something that tastes really good.

[@adammoore90]

Good luck to you with this venture. I found a bug when viewing your website in Firefox. On the product page, the quantity field is blank by default and doesn't appear to be editable. If you hit add to cart, it adds random quantities. I've gotten 746, 3, 1, 1495, and 1,000,000 among others.

[@andrealbuquerque886]

Hey, i was checking out your website and you have a slight bug in there, when you're in the coffee section page, and try to click About Us in the navbar it doesn't redirect to anything, good luck with your coffee company!

[@adimusicindia13]

All The Best!!

[@prabal19]

Great product and website! Curious to know how much sales are you getting per month? If you could answer this I ll be very obliged. Thanks

[@HamyK]

congrats dude, best of luck!

[@wesleyfeller2114]

Congratulations to you both! That's awesome I just might have to try a bag ;))

[@matinsahab2189]

Me again, so when I go to the-easy-river page and near to add to cart you put that number input but without a limit I hope you make a decision about it.

[@deathbecomes1]

GREAT JOB DUDE!!! Will def support ya!! I can feel my coding skills getting stronger as I get ready to order lol!! Can’t wait to try it!!!

[@julierudisill4718]

Congrats, guys! Love the fascinating backstory. Ordered (#1009) your coffee today!!!

[@coder4life]

Super cool. I wish you best of luck. Would like to have a cup of that right now.

[@brockherion2718]

Nice job man! As a fellow developer, I may be needing quite a few bags...

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Ok you drank 3 different types of coffee at the same time. Why not on different days, so your taste buds can be clean.

[@bitcoin.crypto]

Coffee tastes better slightly salty, it brings the flavor out. Sweetness masks underlying flavors and different aromatics. Delivery idea is nice but need a product catalog

[@casualviewer473]

This is so dope. Congrats! Thanks for the great content, I’m thinking of majoring in cs next year and your videos are very helpful in getting a feel for what to expect. Not much of a coffee drinker right now but if I start drinking it I’ll give you a try

[@skyebrownh]

Hey Forrest! Why did you choose coffee to pursue as a business??

[@wickedhorror01]

good luck friend i wish you the best

[@deintri]

Good packaging... but I have a lot of questions about the production (from growing to roasting). Is it sustainable throughout? Are coffee pickers that you buy your coffee beans from paid well? What are their working conditions?

[@deintri]

Also, your site crashed when I clicked the link. Are you using Shopify?

[@deintri]

$17??? Oh no

[@arehsan623]

This is amazing. Every time I pop around your channel. I see you’ve grown so much. Keep the grind going 💪🔥

[@davidtofer3634]

Welcome to the club 😉 Good luck 🍀👍🏻

[@realthunder6556]

Should have seen this coming,I mean what programmers need the most IRL XD

[@mibreit-photo]

Congrats! I really like all the love for details in that whole process.

[@vaggelismanousakis6147]

Just got really into coffee and I was wondering what coffee are you supposed to make with this? The espresso I guess? Really cool and functional website, to be honest, gets the job done even if you are an alien :D
