NBA star Jimmy Butler has a passion for ‘unexpected’ drink
In the fall of 2020, just a few months after all sports activities in the world stopped because of Cоvid-19, the entire NBA was having to play in isolation from the surrounding world in Disneyland, Orlando, Florida. Jimmy Butler relaxes in his hotel room with his own plans.
Having to compete in a concentrated form has never been easy. Although the necessities and living items are quite complete, the players always feel deprived of a delicious cup of Joe branded coffee.That was also the time when Jimmy Butler found the opportunity to start a business from this isolated place.
Thinking is doing, with ingredients strictly imported from isolated areas, Jimmy Butler charges 20 USԀ for a cup of coffee brewed in the signature “Brew” style. It’s a high price, but Jimmy Butler knows his colleagues are willing to pay it.
“All I think about is how to get money from my colleagues around me. Everyone has money, but none of them can use it because of Cоvid-19,” Jimmy Butler said.
For Jimmy Butler, he hopes that people can give him $100 bills that he calls “Big Face” to… not get change back. Although it was a pretty funny joke, Jimmy Butler brought a remarkable success from those cups of coffee.
Those days of practicing business in the isolated Disneyland area started a large project that Jimmy Butler had cherished for a long time.

Jimmy Butler is currently the owner of Big Face Coffee, with many stores across the United States. The chain’s coffee source is strictly imported from countries such as Ethiopia, Kenta and Columbia, and is widely sold on the website along with its own fashion segment.
The player who participated in All-Star matches 6 times personally takes charge of all operations. From choosing the freshest coffee beans, to participating in designing fashion clothes and having a team to research the market.

Jimmy Butler’s dream is to expand his own coffee shop chain, helping people enjoy delicious cups of coffee every day.
“I want to open many cafes around the world, so that people, from all different backgrounds and cultures, can enjoy them. I want them to be a bridge for people, a place where they can talk together about life and meaningful lessons,” Jimmy Butler shared.
For Jimmy Butler, his love for coffee is truly incomparable. The Miami Heat player has a habit of drinking 12 cups of coffee a day, of course with a special diet to neutralize the ingredients in coffee and not affect his playing condition.Besides, the only thing that can attract Jimmy Butler is the opportunity to chat with friends while enjoying coffee.
According to Jimmy Butler’s sharing with Sports Illustrated, a dream meeting at the Miami Heat star’s cafe would include soccer superstar Neymar, former US president Barck Obama, British tennis player Emma Raducanu, a man whose admiration Jimmy Butler frequently had.
Once Jimmy Butler’s NBA career ends, don’t be too surprised if he devotes himself entirely to the coffee business. “Passion is everything. When it comes to what I’m doing, whether it’s playing basketball or running a coffee business, I want to be the best. With Big Face, this is an opportunity for me to learn and begin your journey”.
