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

[@myah3arts062]

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.

[@karsonmitchell7263]

First, dude that coffee thing sounds really cool

[@thelonlypanda1]

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

[@jamescareyart]

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 Went to your website, looks like it’s no longer active.

[@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! :)

[@destinedwolf]

ordered. i adore coffee. bring on the coffeeeee

[@fknight]

Absolutely!! Much appreciated!

[@ksubyslowed]

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

[@f0cus246]

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

[@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.

[@theshuz]

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

[@johnvargasiv2886]

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

[@feliciabacon9923]

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

[@alantinoalantonio]

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

[@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

[@naturalhealthnews9637]

website does not work, takes you to your KZbin Channel ??

[@Anthony755]

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

[@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?

[@kennethporst4359]

Go get em man shout out to YOU

[@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!

[@emiledesrosiers2132]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@drewbird87]

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

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

First Supply Coffee Company! What an awesome name.

[@rentube25]

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

[@fknight]

Much appreciated!

[@skooliecaptain]

Order #1004. Cant wait man!

[@fknight]

You're awesome - thank you!!

[@stevensong8784]

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

[@jakeh4648]

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

[@arehsan623]

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

[@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.

[@fronix5060]

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

[@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!

[@o_wojcikiewicz]

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

[@nok_f1]

Ordered. Let's go.

[@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

[@oussamazakire64]

congrats bro nice step

[@CarlosFernandez-ch9vy]

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

[@raf99a16]

Shout out to You man!!! Congratulations!!

[@wickedhorror01]

good luck friend i wish you the best

[@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.

[@jorgeribeiro1988]

Very Nice, good luck.

[@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

[@claudiopio1178]

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

[@michael.lecompte]

Just bought some Forrest :) Keep killing it!

[@seanallen]

Congrats on the launch, Forrest!

[@TrenBlack]

Thats fucking dope dude!

[@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!

[@martingomez8142]

Congrats. Best of luck on this new chapter.

[@tnw4xe]

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

[@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?

[@oussamadjaalali7702]

Congratulation man really happy to see you doing what you want

[@TechRageLinux]

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

[@realthunder6556]

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

[@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

[@johnathandodson8334]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@mvthew]

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

[@johnswan6450]

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

[@karsonmitchell7263]

Love your videos too

[@wesleyfeller2114]

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

[@williambelcher71]

Nice!

[@mollyknight6650]

Yeessss coffeeeee yummyyy yummyyy

[@fknight]

Your help in launching this company has been invaluable!

[@mibreit-photo]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@ethandominguez181]

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

[@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!!!

[@tallon3925]

RIP First Supply Coffee 2020-2020

[@MD-wk3gj]

Ouch Sadly it’s common that a business fails but hats off to him for trying.

[@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

[@kader.1234]

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

[@julierudisill4718]

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

[@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.

[@rahulSharma-gq3ph]

Forest El-Cafe BrownCaf CocaFe-Cane How are brand names bro🔥🔥

[@RahulSharma-mk2xe]

Very dope names , especially the last ones😂😂

[@rahulSharma-gq3ph]

@James G that will surely. Kill, The purpose of cafe😂😂

[@karthikrajk8070]

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

[@camerenisonfire]

Congratulations on launching! I know it took a lot of work to release. I hope to try your beans some day. It'd be more to support you and your work, because nearly $22 (after shipping) for 12oz of beans is pretty steep -- especially when competing against so many amazing roasters here in Raleigh-Durham.

[@danielbogos263]

Thanks for the info and for sharring your experience. About 2020...well, bad year unfortunatelly and 2021 same and 2022...oh will see( i am reffing to all this covid situation)

[@marcusjovannyduran6883]

Congratulations , Just want to make a remark , Ultra roast or dark coffee is for cover defects and the quality of coffee , then people of the US are culturaly liked the dark roast because custom but actually higher quality coffee should roast maximun medium if Will not get used in espresso profile . Bud mostly good coffee or Specialty coffee are roasted medium or light , then others coffee lower quality are getting burn . Just a remark best luck wishes best regards

[@143jeg]

Happy for you man, congratulations! I would love to support your company by buying a bag but I recently switched from coffee to green tea. High quality tea leaves are a little hard to find sometimes, might be an idea for another product once you coffee business takes off.

[@shawnpetersen5338]

Awesome and good luck. Im going to order some now and give a try :-)

[@rodrigorodriguez2299]

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

[@brockherion2718]

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

[@HamyK]

congrats dude, best of luck!

[@supigagliardi2118]

Website looks really cool! Only thing I'd look into is font size (can be a little too small in some places, ex: 'Our beans/bags/roast') and contrast between text and background, some parts like the 'Who are we' section can be a little confusing to read. Hopefully it's taken as honest feedback, love your videos and best of luck on this venture!

[@demohub]

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

[@HueTran-fp6uq]

Thanks

[@coder4life]

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

[@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.

[@rashidk7223]

Good luck dude, wish you all the best!

[@thearguenaut3187]

forrest I love coffee Im think going to order me a bag of your coffee.

[@stevenklepadlo1009]

As far as I can tell this business no longer exists. Don't waste your time on this video.

[@Dolorofbr]

Interesting, it's the second channel that talks about their own coffee company, but it seems to end fairly soon.

[@banknoteproductions9302]

It's a tough business but you have to keep going.i own a coffee brand and am having fun with it but I must say it has trying times I just keep pushing forward and building around it...

[@banknoteproductions9302]

Also I've had to rebuild my website twice but am in the process of switching to a new more effect on the go model

[@mahmitKhel]

Good to hear the story behind it.

[@divyanshudwivedi2591]

All the very best Dude shine shine and shine :)

[@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!

[@firstklass8784]

My uncle just started a coffee company with no work behind it, no branding, just some regular coffee in a bag and is expecting to build off of that smh what a world we live in…

[@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

[@MrNotteNera]

Logo, the story behind the name and background photos are amazing! Could you add an FAQ page or at least shipping cost page? I would like to know how much it would cost to ship it here in Italy

[@ameliapomgx7463]

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

[@davidtofer3634]

Welcome to the club 😉 Good luck 🍀👍🏻

[@Chiramisudo]

You don't have a button for the "Cart", so I guessed /cart and it worked. Add a button though, eh? 😉
