In this episode, we dive into the remarkable journey of Jake Paulson of Anchorhead Coffee who opened a coffee shop from his humble garage setup. Before venturing into the coffee business, Jake worked in the music industry-where he discovered that his favorite part of the day was that magic cup of joe. Ditching his career, Jake and his partner decided to start crafting cold brew in the garage. Thus, Anchorhead Coffee was born.
Join us as Jake recounts how he expanded Anchorhead Coffee to 300 retail stores in just two years. He opens up about navigating the complexities of business partnerships, and the critical decisions in choosing suppliers, and the art of marketing a niche product. And he shares the personal sacrifices and strategic moves that helped Anchorhead move into Seattle’s first bottled cold brew and America’s Best Espresso winner.
Discover the strategic insights and personal anecdotes from an entrepreneur who has made significant strides in the coffee industry by offering a combination of innovation and traditional flavors. Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur or a coffee aficionado, Jake’s story is a rich blend of inspiration and practical advice, revealing the essence of building a successful coffee company from the ground up.

I toured with Jake back in both our audio engineer days. This was living on a tour bus, working and an outside music festival 14+ hour days, something like 50 shows over 57 days, rain, shine, lighting, tornados, dust storms, in the middle of the summer. You can't fault his work ethic, passion or sense of humor. His business partner is cut from the same cloth. Just a couple solid dudes.

The other thing about bringing baking in house or at least not outsourcing to a big supplier is that as a consumer it makes me take the cafe more seriously (as they clearly care about quality). It also helps justify the relatively high cost of these items.

Attention, his salary disclosure is only for irs audit purposes. I promise u he gets more than that via profit distributions which is legally taxed at a much lower rate due to it not being “actual and recurring rate” salary. Business comes with stress but also perks for that stress. Also he can offset his income with many legal tax write offs . All that while providing employment and hence additional tax revenue for the state. Or u can just worry about urself and no one else and work a single job from home as a techie and make 100k. One benefits only one person while the other serves an entire community with services and jobs. This is why the tax code was written to benefit and encourage small business development. Because at the end of the day businesses do “more”.

Great video. Can I ask why your profit margins are so low despite doing so much in-house? Common industry benchmark suggests coffee shops aim for a profit margin of 15% to 25% on their sales, and 4%-6.8% on the lower end. I'd like to see you beat the industry average 🙂Do you have a very high CAC or cost of goods? I'd like to know what you've tried to increase your margins. End-of-day pricing on baked goods, "coffee flight" tastings, 6 and 12-pack pastries, etc.?
@UpFlip

That's an interesting question. We're curious too-could you share which countries are included in the data? Here in the US, industry margins typically hover around 10%, so reaching 12% is considered higher than usual.

So let me get this straight, your profit margins are 5% on 5.6 million a year roughly, so you're netting around 280k, split between you and your partner that's 140k each, which isn't bad but holy shit this seems like a ton of risk and work and hassle. Hope it works for this guy but not sure this is a business I would want to get into unless you're able to scale it into the 100s of millions in gross rev. Really seems like a headache.

he can make 6 mil a year on coffee because millenials and gen z'ers are freaking terrible with money. They spend $5 to $6 a day on coffee. They should be banking that money in an index fund so that when they get older their older self can retire early. With that said, kudos to this guy for creating a successful business.

Yea agreed. Maybe they should try to find another verticle within the space to sell to their customers. Merch? To me this doesn't look far off from Starbucks. You gotta think, what would someone spending $7 on a coffee buy, aside from baked goods? Thats the thing that's lacking here honestly.

@@600DoubleRR They should hire a good cost controller and see if sth can be done in this area. Margin is too low, it doesn't make sense.

No low profit margin does not mean a lot can't be made... It just means the profit margin is low compared to the total cost.....
