As the cost-of-living rises, plenty of Malaysians are actively looking ways to increase their incomes. With that said, one of the ways that some Malaysians would go through is start a small business, offering their skills or products.
This M’sian started a small business selling coffee out of his car boot!
Just recently, local newswire agency BERNAMA has shared a story of a man who decided to start a small business, selling coffee out of his car boot. Mohamad Hazreel Mazlan who is an employee at a trading company has mustered up the courage and turned his family car, a Honda CRV into a small coffee making station.

Speaking to the newswire agency, prior to starting his own mobile cafe, he was a part-time e-hailing driver. For a capital of RM15,000, Hazreel managed to buy a coffee maker, an Espresso machine, coffee grinder and a small generator to kickstart his business. Seeing that it’s his family car, he revealed that he couldn’t do many modifications in the car, which is why he resorted into a wooden pallet as it’s more convenient.
“It’s easier to clean the space as I can move the wooden pallets around”, he said.

For the love of kopi
When asked why he chose to start a business selling coffee, he shared that it was because he always had a knack for cafe hopping. Following his cafe hopping interest, he managed to meet up with the owner of Kopi Rumah, who also sold coffee out of a car boot! Taking inspiration from him, he began his own research, searching for an economical yet effective way to break into the F&B industry.
