My husband and I are thinking about opening a coffee shop in Toronto. We don't understand anything about coffee; however, we are coffee drinkers and would like to explore all the potential of the world of coffee. We'd like to learn everything possible related to coffee: import coffee from South America, coffee shop with roast-on-site, the art of roasting, etc.

good luck, but it takes a bit more than enjoying coffee to run a coffee shop. many have tried, many have succeeded, many have failed.
