Heat's Butler selling $20 coffee from hotel room
Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has been honing his barista skills while inside the NBA's bubble.
As teammate Meyers Leonard revealed in a since-deleted tweet, Butler is operating a makeshift coffee shop out of his hotel room called Big Face Coffee. The menu includes lattes, pour overs, cappuccinos, and more - all priced at $20 per cup, regardless of the size.

So apparently Jimmy Butler wasn't kidding about the up-charge for the use of his French Press at Disney. (From Meyers Leonard's Twitter): pic.twitter.com/1s1em6flRG

Butler spoke about his new business in an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols that aired Friday on "The Jump."
"I'm working on my coffee skills," he said. "After my career, I'm opening my coffee shop. Right now, I'm charging 20 bucks a cup. So if you want some, come through."
Despite the steep price, there's apparently a high demand for Butler's coffee.
"You can't get coffee nowhere here," Butler said. "So I might bump it up to $30, just depends. People here can afford it. So ain't nobody complaining."
