Challenge Objective

For the Maven Coffee Challenge, you'll play the role of an Analytics Consultant hired by a group of investors looking to break into the US coffee market. They would like to leverage insights from "The Great American Coffee Taste Test", but lack the analytical skills to do so. That's where you come in!

You've been asked to share an explanatory report providing a data-driven strategy for opening their first coffee shop. The investors expressed interest in the following areas, but are open to any additional insights and recommendations you can provide:

  • Target audience: What type of customer should we target, and what are their preferences?
  • Product offering: What types of coffee beans and drinks should we offer?
  • Pricing strategy: How can we align prices with customer value perception?

Need inspiration to get started? Check out James Hoffmann's Surprising And Fascinating Results From The Taste Test.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

For more chances to win, we'll be crowning 3 separate winners for each challenge moving forward:

  1. A general "Challenge Winner" (like always)
  2. A "First-time Entrant" winner
  3. A "Fan Favorite" winner (based on project likes in Maven Showcase)

Please consult the Terms & Conditions for full details.


About The Data SetThe data contains survey responses from ~4,000 Americans after a blind coffee taste test conducted by YouTube coffee expert James Hoffmann and Cometeer. This first-of-its-kind experiment was designed to provide a largely identical tasting experience for people across the country. After the tasting, and once the surveys were submitted, details about each of the 4 coffees they tasted were revealed (more info in the full dataset details).
