SEREMBAN - What began as a small-scale venture has now grown into a recognised local coffee brand. Caffeinatics, founded by a husband-and-wife duo, has steadily gained popularity among local coffee lovers in Negeri Sembilan and Selangor.
Mohammad Amin Hashim, 39, said the idea to start the business came from his wife, Nurul Ain Kamarulzaman, 36, who wanted to commercialise her homemade coffee recipes through local vendors. Caffeinatics now offers more than 27 drink variations, including Latte, Caramel, Americano, Mocha, Mojito, Chocolate and Matcha, which can be found at several vendor locations around Senawang, Bandar Seri Jempol, Kajang, and Bangi, priced between RM8 and RM14 per bottle, depending on the type of drink. - Bernama photo
Starting with an initial capital of RM10,000, plus an additional RM3,000 grant from the Negeri Sembilan Entrepreneur Development Fund, the couple has been managing Caffeinatics full-time since 2023, after operating part-time for the first two years.
"In the beginning, we started small from home and delivered to several vendors around Senawang. Alhamdulillah, the response was overwhelming, we could barely keep up with the demand,' Mohammad Amin told Bernama when met here today.
Focusing on quality and careful execution, he said all preparation is done manually to ensure consistent results and premium quality.
Caffeinatics now offers more than 27 beverage variations and are sold by vendors in Senawang, Bandar Seri Jempol, Kajang, and Bangi.
The beverages are priced between RM8 and RM14 per bottle, depending on the type.
Among the bestsellers are Latte, Caramel, Americano, Mocha, Mojito, Chocolate and Matcha.
"Every day, we produce around 120 bottles, and at times, up to 500 bottles depending on orders,' said Mohammad Amin, who was trained as a barista and holds a Malaysian Skills Certificate (SKM) Level 2.
The father of three also expressed his desire to share his knowledge with those who are interested in the coffee business.
"Our goal is not just to improve our own standard of living, but also to help the local community generate income through business opportunities with us,' he said. - BERNAMA
