It's a plan that's teaching two Tauranga Boys' College boys how to make money, stay within the lines of the law, maintain a business, and keep adults happy.

Year 10 students Josh Hulbert and Connor Hoddson have been brewing a plan to sell coffee, and they're building a reputable name and a good little pop-up business called Extract between homework, classes, and responsibilities at home.

Josh says it's been a tough process – from navigating council bylaws and sourcing everything they need – but they're finally getting to grind some beans and sell some coffee.

'We had to make heaps of phone calls to the council to find out where we could actually set it up,” says Josh.

'We sold about 21 coffees in our first go, which was pretty good. We had them priced at $3 for a regular and $3.50 for a large,” says Connor.

But just because they did well the first time around doesn't mean these young entrepreneurs don't know they have little things to fix up for their next go.

'We're thinking that our prices are really good, but we figured that we needed to advertise more; there were lots of people just walking past and not coming to buy coffee from us,” says Josh.

'It looks like some people are avoiding us because we are young and we may not look like we know much about coffee, but when people came up to us they saw we had our certifications up on the table and we had our own logo. It was just about getting customers there in the first place,” says Connor.

So don't discount these teenage boys just because they are young; they know their caffeine.

'We make great coffee, and just because we're teenage boys doesn't mean that we don't know what we are doing,” says Josh.

'I drink so much coffee. My parents have limited me to one a day, but I'll have the straight shots at school if there are any leftovers.

'We sometimes work at the cafe at school, so that has helped us get experience.”

If you want to try some of the best priced coffee in the Bay, Extract will be set up in the Fifth Ave Family Doctors car park, opposite the Tauranga Farmers Market, on November 4. A regular coffee will cost you $3 and a large only $3.50.
