As per the photo, Butler has written the menu on a whiteboard and placed it outside his hotel room. In the menu, Butler is offering a latte, a cappuccino, a macchiato, an America and many more options to anyone who is willing to buy from him. Butler has priced the coffee at $20 for all three sizes he says are available – small, medium and large. The Heat star has drawn two smiley faces in between the cups and has also mentioned that customers will have to pay by cash only. Butler has named his coffee business "Big Face Coffee".

While talking to ESPN's Rachel Nichols, Butler spoke about how coffee is not easy to find at the NBA bubble in Orlando. Which is why Butler and his French press are provided with his teammates with the required caffeine. "You can't get coffee nowhere here," Butler said in the interview. "So I might bump it up to 30 bucks a cup. People here can afford it." Butler's agenda Bernard Lee confirmed Butler's popular coffee side business.
