Within seconds, the espresso machine is making its deafening but oh-so-satisfying whir — loud enough to make a nearby student glance up over his MacBook Air. A tourist is reading his Lonely Planet guidebook, and a besuited man with a briefcase ducks in for an air-conditioned break. Unremarkable, right?

Wrong. I’m somewhere where this is no mindless everyday experience but a genuine symbol of economic transformation. Here in Kyrgyzstan, the poorest of all post-Soviet republics, the international-style coffee shop is the community’s chosen measure of progress — and a metric by which Kyrgyzstan has progressed a hell of a lot. Until 2012, there was no Western-style “coffee shop” to be found here (or Western-style anything, really); now, there are more than 40. They’re on “almost every street in the city,” says Aziza Ishmakhametova, a program manager at the Central Asia Free Market Institute. “They have changed our lifestyles.” You’d be forgiven for thinking that Bishkek is starting to turn a bit Brooklyn or Shoreditch, but the rise of the independent coffee shop is also a test case for just how open the economy truly is against the forces of corruption and poor governance that continue to plague the post-Soviet world.

“Everyone wants to open a coffee shop now,” says Chihoon Jeong, the owner of Chicken Star, a Korean chicken restaurant turned specialty coffee shop that opened in 2015. Anywhere else in the world, serving Korean chicken alongside artisanal hand-drip coffee would be a little, erm, incongruent, he admits, but Bishkek embraces its newfound globalism in a clumsy fashion — the sushi restaurants serve pizza, and the pizzerias serve sushi. And the trendy power of coffee is not lost on any of them: “Now, we have shisha places, pizza places, steak places that call themselves a coffee shop,” says Stepan Golovash, founder of Qcoffee, with a sigh.

When people have discretionary money, they’re spending it in the coffee shops.

They may be upstarts, but the restaurants doubling up as coffee shops, like the independent cafés, are signs of the country’s churn.

After decades of economic stagnation, “incomes are going up now, and when people have discretionary money, they’re spending it in the coffee shops,” says Richard Pomfret, professor of international economics at the University of Adelaide. Chicken Star targets local “young professionals and trendy youth,” says the outlet’s marketing specialist Anara Selpieva — a generation that doesn’t remember life as part of the Soviet Union and is increasingly outward-looking. Though the clientele at each of these establishments initially pulled heavily from the expat and tourist communities, about half of customers in each are now locals, say multiple coffee shop owners, as the Land of Tea slowly gets accustomed to the taste of a cuppa joe.

Brad Brenneman, a New Zealander, is often credited with kickstarting the Kyrgyz coffee revolution. He opened the first Sierra Coffee shop next to the Russian Embassy in 2012, two years after a revolution that ousted then–President Kurmanbek Bakiyev and his corrupt family. Since then, Sierra Coffee has opened eight more outlets in Bishkek, though four of those have closed as Brenneman learned the intricacies of the Bishkek retail market the hard way — everything from stingy landlords to unruly neighbors. Eyeing the success of Sierra, a competing chain called Coffeeman (since rebranded as Adriano Coffee) opened up multiple locations a few months later, run by the Shin family, a mega-wealthy Korean-Kyrgyz family that has long been influential in the country’s economy, mainly in the ice cream and frozen goods sector.

The owner spent “three months studying our business, and then suddenly started opening coffee shops,” claims Brenneman. “We’re a startup that did well; Adriano is [part of] a massive Korean conglomerate business empire.” There are now nine Adriano coffee shops across the capital, according to its website (representatives from Adriano Coffee did not respond to OZY’s request for comment). Meanwhile, Sierra is now also roasting coffee in China and hoping to expand elsewhere in Central Asia.

It’s not just competition from established oligarchs that threatens the new breed of coffee entrepreneurs. Though corruption today is nothing compared to the rackets and seizures that former president Bakiyev’s son infamously used to mastermind, the culture of commerce is still hard to change. Inspectors often come in unannounced for on-the-spot, unofficial sanitary checks, fire checks or tax inspections, often with no guise of fairness, say several business leaders. “I wouldn’t call them problems, I’d call them issues,” says Golovash. “Yes, we’ve had issues.” Though Qcoffee, which also operates a second outlet called Craft Coffee, outsources all of its books to avoid the pitfalls of an outdated Soviet-era regulatory system, inspectors have been known to come in and watch over cashiers for hours to make sure that receipts are being recorded accurately, says Golovash.

When I visited, employees at a coffee shop that didn’t want to be named had had a surprise visit from a health inspector just the previous month and were forced to pay an on-the-spot bribe of 5,000 soms ($ 75) for failing to have a specific sign hanging in the kitchen. Separately, according to the owner of that outlet (not a Kyrgyz citizen), two years ago it received a surprise visit by immigration officials during a five-day window in which his passport was with the visa office for renewal, and so unable to be checked. As the owner tells the story, they were arrested and given a state lawyer who was negotiating the terms of their deportation from the country, before a friend came and paid a sum that allowed the door to swing open. (Representatives of the Kyrgyz government did not respond to OZY’s requests for comment.)

Coffeeshop013

To be sure, entrepreneurs in many emerging economies face these challenges, and they’re not limited to the restaurant industry — in Kyrgyzstan, it’s the norm to pay a 1,000-som bribe to your examiner before state-run college examinations, one recent graduate tells me. It’s also not only officials who receive bribes, says the coffee shop owner who requested anonymity. “We pay our neighbors [who send in noise complaints]. Everything is like that, you know.” But unlike many other sectors that are still trapped in the past, the coffee shop culture that has taken root in Bishkek is continuing to push the boundaries of change.

It has an unlikely ally. Despite the corruption, the bureaucracy itself is relatively easy to deal with — Kyrgyzstan comes above China, India, Argentina and the Philippines, according to the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking, including an impressive 29th position on the “starting a new business” sub-index — better than the United States. “I don’t understand why people go out of their way to pay bribes” when getting permits and paying taxes in the first place is relatively easy, says Brenneman.

***

Does it ever get worse than small-scale bribes? Rumors abound of activity from the country’s Mafia or regional barons, though most tangible examples of such activity come from before the revolution — a British businessman negotiating a major gold-mining contract was gunned down in the country in 2006, for example. “No one’s ever asked us for protection money, threatened to burn us down,” says Brenneman. “I hear people say those things, but … people operating normal businesses have nothing to fear.”

Coffeeshop040

Still, flying under the radar is the strategy for many of Kyrgyzstan’s new entrepreneurs. “Maybe [the officials] do not know about us,” says Zarema Sultanbekova, who works at Save the Ales, Central Asia’s first craft brewery, run entirely by women who learned to brew beer from YouTube videos. “We don’t open until 5 p.m.,” she says, and most government employees only work during normal hours. Several of the city’s smaller business owners say that they’re happy to keep to one or two outlets to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

And the secret to scale from Sierra, the poster child chain of the coffee shop boom? “I don’t know what goes on behind closed doors, but I’m sure someone at some point said don’t touch them,” says Brenneman. As we cool off with an iced coffee on a sweltering summer’s day in Bishkek, Brenneman briefly gets up to greet the city’s vice mayor, who just sat down at the table next to us. “When we first opened, we didn’t have any connections,” he says when he returns. “Now, of course, we have connections.”

For years, that was the best he could do if he wanted the drink. Now he’s planning to switch to growing coffee himself, and the days of the three-in-one are numbered. “One day I hope to test coffee that I’ve grown myself,” he says.

Coffee has long served as a benign crutch to help fight darker addictions — think endless pots of caffeine at 12-step meetings. Now, farmers in Southeast Asia’s opium-growing Golden Triangle region are trying to kick their drug habit and looking to coffee for help. In the 1980s, Thailand led the region’s fight against opium by helping farmers change crops and investing in schools, hospitals and roads to ensure that the fruits of the country’s development reached poor farmers dependent on poppy cultivation. Laos and Myanmar, the two other countries whose borders with Thailand constitute the Golden Triangle, are finally joining in.

Bounsee is one of around 300 farmers, most current or former opium cultivators, enlisted by a United Nations program to grow high-value roasts — the sort that can compete with opium prices — and hopefully leave the drug trade behind. More than 800 other Laos highland farmers are working with a private roaster in Luang Prubang to stoke interest in the more expensive and flavorful Arabica beans. And in Myanmar, another U.N. program that started three years ago has already enrolled 1,100 farmers, who have sold their first crop to the French company Malongo.

These guys that grow opium, they’re not bad people.

Erlend Falch, alternative development coordinator, U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime

The shift has broader social and health implications for these countries. Erlend Falch, an alternative development coordinator in Laos for the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, says that decades after the country’s government cracked down on narcotics, he and his team have identified more than 300 people with problematic drug use in the area where they work. That’s roughly 10 people per village, and with only a couple dozen families living in each village, the impact is significant. The transition from opium to coffee also promises a more sustainable future — for families and the environment. Bounsee says that for 10 years, to help support the eight members of his family, he grew opium, moving among the lush hills and using a traditional slash-and-burn practice. He says he’s switched to only rice and coffee — “permanent” crops that don’t require the burning of forests.

“These guys that grow opium, they’re not bad people,” says Falch. “They’re poor farmers trying to provide for their families.”

Even with opium cultivation, the region’s farmers never escaped subsistence farming. But in the case of opium, buyers come to the farmer, explains Falch. So Falch’s program, which works with around a dozen villages, provides farmers not only with training and material support but also important access to markets. The plan is for the area’s farmers to run a collective that will target premium coffee markets in the U.S., Europe and Japan. That way, they’ll have more say in prices.

To understand that getting farmers off opium cultivation is possible, Laos and Myanmar don’t have to look far. In the 1960s, Thailand ranked among the world’s top producers of opium. The tribal mountains of Doi Tung were brown and scarred from slash-and-burn cultivation. When the current king’s mother, Princess Srinagarindra, visited the area in the late 1980s looking for a new home, she was taken aback by the poverty and deforestation. The royal family, with help from international organizations, worked to get the area clean. “We’ve always believed that the root cause for opium cultivation is poverty,” says Ramrada Ninnad of the Doi Tung Development Project. The drug problem wasn’t really a drug problem — it was a poverty problem, she explains. Farmers were given access to new crops, including high-value coffee, and to development. Now Chiang Mai, the largest city in northern Thailand, is filled with hip cafés offering locally sourced coffee.

Those who would come to buy opium “aren’t exactly very nice guys,” says Jeremy Douglas, head of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Farmers are “glad they don’t come around the village anymore,” he says, and those who have stopped growing opium also don’t need to pay off police.

Douglas expects Burmese farmers to sell an estimated 400 tons of green coffee beans every year by 2022. They are a long way from the success of Thailand. “The challenges we face in Myanmar and Laos are that we don’t have those kinds of resources behind it,” says Douglas, referring to royal support and economic growth. Despite the small scale for now, he’s hopeful. “We’re really optimistic that we will actually be able to scale it up,” he says. “You can’t say that about a lot of development assistance programs.”

H 5.00170027

An original intent of Saffron Coffee, located in the northern Laos city of Luang Prabung, was to provide a legal substitute for opium cultivation, says Derek Smith, who works at the roaster and social development project. But, he says, the vast majority of the 800-plus farmers Saffron Coffee works with have simply added coffee to other low-value crops like corn. By moving at the farmers’ pace and with constant guidance, Smith says they’ve been able to grow around 12 tons of high-value Arabica in the past year. And it always sells out. “It can be a hard sell with farmers who’ve been burned in the past,” he says, referring to giant firms from Vietnam or China that throw money around but don’t stick it out. Such firms “end up hurting the farmers in the long haul,” he says.

Still, the enrollment by hundreds of farmers in these multiple programs lends weight to Douglas’ optimism. Falch thinks that someday the north of Laos could resemble the coffee hub seen across the Thai border. “The conditions are there for it, but that requires work, technology, time,” he says. Bounsee and his fellow farmers won’t need to wait, though. Coffee, for them, has already dethroned opium.

Doctors and clinics that peddle unproven, potentially harmful treatments to desperate cancer patients are pocketing millions thanks to donations collected on popular crowdfunding sites such as GoFundMe. That’s according to data published recently in BMJ.

In just the UK, crowdfunding sites amassed around $ 10 million since 2012 for cancer treatments with an alternative-treatment element, the data indicate. Those figures were collected by the nonprofit organization the Good Thinking Society, which promotes scientific skepticism and rational thinking. Unfortunately, the group did not provide a similar tally for US-based donations. Earlier research had found that cancer patients who delay or skip conventional treatments in favor of “alternative” treatments have as much as a 5.7-fold increased risk of dying within five years than those who stick with conventional medicine.

Most of the crowdfunded treatments were administered at clinics in places such as the US, Germany, and Mexico, the Good Thinking Society found. The treatments included unproven “peptide vaccines” said to work against cancer cells, experimental immunotherapies, vitamin and mineral infusions, flax seed and dangerous coffee enemas, various spa treatments, and dietary interventions, such as juice drinks. The treatments often cost patients anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Tips for Buying the Best Coffee Maker Picture 3Amazon

  • This well-loved 3-in-1 system from Mr. Coffee makes cappuccino, espresso, and lattes with just a few simple steps.
  • Unlike the complex devices found at the coffee shop, this machine uses simple one-touch buttons for easy drink selection.
  • It also has removable, easy-to-clean drink and milk reservoirs. 
  • At less than $ 200, it’s the perfect price for the home, small business, or bed and breakfast.

Like most people who spend too little time asleep and too much time trying to stay focused on work, I tend to drink a fair amount of coffee. When given the choice, my go-to beverage is a latte, with a double espresso always welcome after those particularly poor nights of sleep or ahead of a particularly long project. The hassle of going to a coffee shop paired with the accrued costs of lots of fancy coffee beverages prepared by oft-snooty baristas take their toll, though. Perhaps you, like me, have wondered if there might be a better way to stay energized and focused throughout the day. (Other than getting more rest, I mean.)
