Out of my trumpet flows a tale of Javita, (java+life)= "Javita". It's probably a beverage I could use right now just to keep me awake while I tolerate the decaffeinated nonsense going on around me at the moment, but enough about me, lets talk about Javita. There are a couple of coffee mlms floating around that I know of, though Javita is essentially the newest, for today anyway. I haven't tasted the stuff, but I've come to be a self-appointed connoisseur of various coffee bean-oriented treats over my short life span, and it is nothing for me to delight in a fresh, hot Hess gas station coffee in an emergency. Don't get me wrong, I'm not proud of it, but it does happen. That being said, if you can smile after pouring that in your gut, Javita probably tastes quite good.

Now the spin on coffee mlms is never limited to just a good cup of coffee, in fact if every "good" cup of coffee was really good, there'd be no need for Javita, or Maxwell House, or Sanka, or even the $30 a mouthful Starbucks. Javita claims to be "healthy", and I'm not exactly being sarcastic, its just that any sane individual has to draw the line at the words used in marketing, and accept the fact that adding vitamins to beer would not make it "healthy". In fact, I don't care if it revitalizes your skin, gives you hot of vitamin C, helps clean your colon (which coffee seems to have no problem doing already) or helps you stay energized; coffee aint healthy lol. However, it wouldn't be fair not to acknowledge that if you're going to do something unhealthy, you might go about it in the healthiest way.

So lets investigate further..

With a launch date set for June 1st, Javita claims that its going to give you a good dose of coffee at a good price, and that includes a few extra beneficial natural ingredients. With that out of the way, you can bet that Javita uses an infinitely structured set of sentences in various marketing efforts to tell you that it combines "everyone's favorite beverage with nutrients", and there isn't anything wrong with that in my book. One smart line they use in their campaigns is that there are over two billion cups of coffee consumed every single day. It doesn't take long for that to translate to any brainstorming entrepreneur; "Holy crap, this product can actually be moved", and he or she would basically be right. One last thing that goes a long way in the facts and figures department, is the fact that coffee is the second most consumed beverage in the entire world, with the first being water. That's pretty damn amazing.

Now that we have established how much coffee is bought, sold, and consumed, and we have figured out that the profit margin must be astronomical, you can see where a smart mlm might be able to take advantage of this, and cut all of its members a big slice of the pie. Could that be Javita?

Maybe.

Javita advertising their brand of coffee the same way most mlms do, by explaining all the wonderful things you could do with some extra cash in your pocket. No big surprise there. They do have a significant amount of Google results, and the founders have a decent track record, at least as far as my shoddy research has taken me. Javita’s first product offering is called "Energy & Mind", not the most original name in the world, but I pretty much consider that to be any cup of coffee that I have first thing in the morning. Energy & Mind will contain a proprietary herbal blend which promises to improve mental clarity, and boost energy, though you might have a hard time being able to tell since coffee does that anyway. There is already talk of more products to come later, such as an instant green tea, as well as a high anti-oxidant hot chocolate.
What about the compensation plan and mlm side to it all?

The information on Javita's compensation plan is limited, and in all likelihood will change once or twice over time, since they haven't even launched yet. Javita offers a unilevel compensation model, though they stress that it’s not going to be binary based. There will obviously be rank advancements, as with most mlms, and they will directly effect and be dependant on your own sales. There will also be direct commissions on Javita products but details are currently lacking . There’s about a 25% markup between wholesale and retail, so you can expect a 20 to 30% profit on the stuff you sell, assuming that doesn't change by launch time. 24 sticks of instant will run about $35 so you can then turn around and sell it for $45. As is planned, Javita coffee will only be available online, but that may eventually change. Since they will only sell by the box, you will be able to buy a box and sell them in single packets if you so please, which may be a good way to fish for new prospects.

Is Javita a good choice for an mlm? why not? They seem to be well organized, they have a plan, which is more than can be said for a few other companies that have yet to launch, and almost everyone worships coffee, plus the logo isn't so bad, see?

Lol, I have to admit, you're making me want to try a cup of this, especially since I'm completely out of coffee until pay day. I think its fairly common as far as product originality goes, although I'd much prefer to be trying to build a sales network based on coffee than any kind of nutritional shake. I'm so sick of super fruit juices and energy shakes that I can't even stomach reading about them anymore. You're guaranteed to find some interested people as far as coffee goes, because for some of us its going to be bought, and consumed; no matter what. If Javita is good enough to take that slot then you're guaranteed a decent following in my opinion. Of course for some people, coffee is like wine, and if you mess with it at all, it will effect the taste. It doesn't matter how much you have improved the product nutritionally, or if the herb you put in it comes from a remote secret island on a cloud beneath Greece; people will notice a change in taste and be all set. I'm truthfully not one of those people however, I can drink a coffee with light sugar, or honey, or a tea bag in it, with milk or cream. I've experimented with vanilla extract; I've tried it all. I am a tasteless barbarian that wants little more than the coffee caffeine burst and if it doesn't upset my mouth or my stomach, I'll tolerate it. Not everyone is like me however, and those people are the ones you need to appeal to.

Anyway, where can I score a free sample?

Great review, and you have a writing style I wish I could emulate.

Javita is, of course, now up and running and the compensation plan is published.  I'd encourage you to update your review with the new information.

Beyond that - the product tastes great. It's what sold me and got me excited about becoming an upgraded member after pre-launch, as well as making it my primary opportunity focus.

Like Fallon, I'm finding that sharing the individual packets as samples is a great way to get people talking!

Go to http://www.myjavita.com/Fallon click CONTACT ME and let me know where your based at I can arrange a sample to you.

Fallon was Uber enough to send me a free sample all the way from Australia (I'm in Rhode Island, USA) and I'm definitely looking forward to trying it. Jon, if you don't mind my asking, how has the launch gone so far in your opinion, and you said the product tastes great, is it comparable to any other brands in flavor or would you say its your standard coffee taste? I'm not expecting that it have any amazing, or profound effect on the taste buds, but was curious to see how this kind of coffee comes out.

Thank you for the update, and yes, Rick, do some updating! :)

The prelaunch was amazing, the actual launch was okay. Pretty good communication from the company, but not as earth-shaking as I expected.  Okay, my expectations where stupid!

The coffee is an instant coffee, so I'll openly admit my high opinion of it is based on essentially zero expectations!  I ordered my first, uh, order - to 'see'.  While I typically grind and brew my own from 8 O'Clock bean or a Jamician Blue Mountain coffee, I never drink instant.

Again. low expectations.

Sure, it's not as good as those brands - but it is by FAR the best instant I've ever tasted, and IMHO better than Folgers or Maxwell House brewed!  It's quite strong, with a 'deep' flavor.  Most impressively, it's a very flexible cup'o'joe as you add chocolate, etc. to it, it works and doesn't necessarily overpower them.

I'm pretty stoked about the product and the opportunity.  Can't wait to hear your review when you try it.

(oh, I'm in charlotte, NC)

Excellent, awesome description of the flavor and comparison. Its funny because I've adjusted primarily to instant coffee, knowing full well that its more or less the bag of M&Ms in a pile of Godiva truffles. I like it because its fast, and very little clean up. It also makes me appreciate that much more any time someone brews a fresh batch of ground bean coffee. You would be the guy who I'd love visiting on a Saturday morning to get it on a cup of that Jamaican Blue Mountain lol, especially since it would not be a treat I'm privy to every day. The sample Fallon sent me will only last as long as a single cup, but I'm so excited to try something weird (and free) that if it tastes good, I'm definitely going to say so in my review. I don't get involved with mlm companies (no reason other than I'm not really the type) so I would likely never sell Javita, but since I like discussing this stuff so much, I'd definitely include Javita in my thumbs up list so long as the comp plan is solid.

Well, I no sooner posted earlier today, and low and behold I received my free sample of Javita Coffee, and I'm drinking it as I sit here and write this. Now before I describe to you how this coffee tastes, please keep in mind that I am fairly limited in my food and beverage experience overall, even for my age. I can go on all day about specific topics in depth, such as philosophy, world history, American foreign policy, "gourmet" pizza, and the history of video games, but when it comes to the more classical and traditional subjects such as wine and coffee, I'm afraid my description may only be valuable to the more common man. That being said, you probably won't hear me describing this coffee as "a smooth mellow brightness with hints of dark chocolate, berries and a touch of citrus", you know why? Because I really don't know what that would taste like. I have even been known in my "single" years to take pasta, butter, grated cheese, sprinkles of garlic, and Tabasco sauce and eat it, and you know what? It was delicious, to me.

With that out of the way, I don't expect too many people to appreciate my tastes, but I will do the very best I can to describe the treat I have in my mug, thanks to my Australian friend, Fallon, who was kind enough to pay the shipping and send me a sample. Thanks again Fallon, I am enjoying this cup of coffee, and have been excited to try it. Fallon sent me your standard envelope with a packet inside containing two sleeves of Javita coffee, not unlike the Starbucks 3 packs you can buy in the supermarket. One very accurate description of the taste has been given by Jon a couple posts before this one, in which he said that it was by far better than any other instant coffee, and I agree for a number of reasons. I usually only drink one cup of coffee a day, in the morning, along with my supplements before I exercise, and on weightlifting days I may have one later in the day if I am tired. I am almost robotic in my routine, coffee, dab of low fat milk, and a tea spoon of honey. This would be my second cup today, so the comparison to what I drank this morning is still fresh in my mind.

I agree with Jon, I can't think of an instant coffee that I've tried and liked more than Javita. That includes the "almighty" Starbucks, which many Americans seem to think is the king of the coffee mountain, though I am not one of them. Much like beer, I'll leave it to Europeans to brew something worthy of my taste buds. At the rate we're going, maybe I'll have Fallon send me some Australian beer! Just kidding Fallon. :).

Ok back to my enlightening review.

Most coffee available in my area, whether its Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, or the countless Gas station brews; are very bitter without sugar. The average person needs an artificial sweetener, or sugar to combat it. For me, a tea spoon of honey does the trick. Javita is actually not bitter at all, yet it tastes amazingly rich. I'm not saying that the many things I taste are actually in it, but what comes to mind with each swig is almonds, a very, very faint hint of chocolate, and oddly enough something similar to a date or a fig perhaps. That acid-like bitterness you get with other coffees just isn't there, and that is actually quite refreshing. Also, as I write this, I definitely noticed a healthy dose of energy, but it isn't that jittery collapsing nervous system feeling, its actually very smooth, I'm awake, alert and energized but not paranoid, shaky, and overly verbose in this coffee review. j/k

This is a very good cup of coffee, and I still have one packet left for tomorrow morning. If it is as enjoyable then, as it is this afternoon, I think I am going to order some from Fallon. I won't be selling any personally, but I could see myself enjoying this beverage for a long time. I miss having my coffee with cream and sugar, because I no longer consume it, but Javita coffee seems to be the answer in combating the bitterness I associate with sugarless/cream less coffee.

Anyone interested in getting involved, I would at least recommend Fallon, as she has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable on Javita. While I'm certain she could not afford to send out 40 free samples, I'll be glad to send out a few when I order my own bundle.

Oh man! If I wasn't already a rep for The Pampered Chef this would be a fabulous product to accompany it with. I really don't like these policies that limit reps to one company. They should know that only a fool would hurt their own business by "poaching". I see no reason why a customer can't order products from everyone, so why can't us reps double our efforts? I could easily sell Javita simultaneously to my downline, and they would love it...?

Jon, thank you for the compliment, and likewise I think you have a pretty cool writing style all your own. Props to Fallon for making it available, you lucky bugger Wallace. Thank you for writing the review, you have me pretty interested in trying it as well. I'll definitely update my review with the launch info, in fact I think its actually probably better that I wait a little longer, to see how its been received and to make sure they don't fall apart or anything. Seems like so many mlm companies are getting caught in scandals, merging with their competitors, or simply failing to launch at all, so go Javita! I had hope for them just on the simple fact that their name is damned cool. I'll update in a month or so, maybe sooner, just want to see some numbers, and Jon's input was a big help as well.

Iratagges... no reason you couldn't start a Javita business and build a second downline. 

I can see why a company would forbid it.  You wouldn't want to hurt your business by 'poaching', but if you were selling Javita to your downline, what happens when they love the product and start switching companies, telling their downlines, and your entire group suddenly disappears because they love a product.

Regardless, I'm here to help if you have any questions. Good luck, and I love Pampered Chef - not for me as a business, but love the products.

Hi Irataages

As Javita is a Coffee Company I cant see why you cant join and purchase your coffee through the business. Pampered Chef cant stop you from buying your coffee from the supermarket or coffee shop so I couldnt see it being a problem for you to buy your coffee through Javita.

If you would like to discuss further or have any questions please dont hesitate to email me at javitacoffee@live.com.au I have helped Wallace out with a sample as you may have read and I can certainly help you out if you like.

Fallon

Rickdowns, thanks for the compliment and look forward to helping any way I can.  Since Javita is founded by the founders of Waioria (spelling?) it should be on good footing.  of course, there's always room for you to get involved and 'first hand knowledge':)

Wallace - love the posts... and yeah you got a bit more verbose there didn't you!  Would you mind if sometime I take some of your post as a testimonial for my website?

Also, let me get this straight - you're on the RepSpace forums, posting and trying product for an MLM, but you stated you're not interested in MLM's?!!  lol

Talk soon everyone.

JP

Jon, you're more than welcome to use my post, I'm kind of flattered actually, I'm not much of a writer but I still enjoy it for some reason. Maybe I just like talking a lot lol. As for the weirdness in regard to my mlm interest, I've tried to explain it before, and to be honest it really doesn't even make much sense to me sometimes lol. While you wouldn't know it from my posts, I'm a relatively quiet guy. I'm not socially aggressive, I have a handful of close friends, and my fiancee even complains that I am unnervingly quiet. Maybe you could compare my interest in mlms to like a nun that likes to watch pro wrestling lol (weird analogy). I have little in common with business-oriented people, I'm particularly awful with numbers, and I find the majority of products, even in normal stores to be dreadfully boring.

Maybe with the exception of PC's and electronics. Despite all that, when I discovered the Repspace forums a couple years ago, I found a lot of the subjects to be fascinating. I learned that mlm didn't exactly mean rip off, or pyramid scheme, and I also learned that reps had to work pretty hard. I did entertain the idea of selling stuff primarily online, but there just hasn't been anything I was interested enough to really stand behind. The closest thing that ever got me to almost sign up was FantaZ, because I have been a video gaming enthusiast since I was about 6 years old, and FantaZ offered a platform that allows you to win money by getting high scores and competing against others. Still though, just couldn't seem to make the leap. So here I am, I spend like 2-3 hours a day sometimes reading posts, articles and talking with people about it, and I've even gotten into arguments over scams etc lol..

You never know, someday I might just come across some new company selling something I think is awesome.

Hello everyone, I have had the opportunity to also partake of a hot Javita coffee while traveling and I would also like to add in that it is quite good. In my years of traveling back and forth between two continents, it is so very important to try to be as comfortable as you can, and having such a wonderful coordinator that happens to count coffee as one of many essential travel necessities; has allowed me to really appreciate such a thing as Javita instant coffee. I am not sure I would agree with Wallace that there is a hint of chocolate, but I too, can sense the flavor of a date like fruit, and it is quite pleasing to the palette. What is my main concern is that it is $45 USD for 24 packets, and of course since I spend more time In the United States, I do try to contribute to my coworker in an attempt to save him some money. I feel that perhaps the average price for a cup of freshly brewed coffee is around $1.80 for standard, and as a fellow soul above mentioned a bit more for Starbucks. As wonderful as Javita is as an instant coffee, it is troubling to me that I must pay more for a single cup than I would for a cup of fresh coffee, and this includes the fact that it will be served to me however I choose to have it. I felt that a dollar a sleeve was much more of a fair price, but somehow it is simply not so. Of course, Javita does have some benefits over traditional coffee in that it does contain a few nutritious things, but how can we fit such a product into the everyday lifestyle, further ensuring a good fortune for the distributor, when it is so much easier to take a vitamin and stop for a coffee on the way to the morning job? It is this, all based on the price, that prevents me from trying to sell Javita.

Hey Jeroqui, haven't seen you on in quite awhile.

I think what you may have noticed is an overall price hike in most stuff. In fact if you go out and buy a 3 pack of Starbucks, they are basically $3.99 for a pack of 3 sleeves. I don't want to turn this into like a trash Starbucks thread, but let's face it, whether or not it taste good its made out of processed stuff, just like Foldgers, or Sanka etc, and I don't care what anyone says, they are way overpriced, and an example of what I would consider unregulated corporatism in my opinion. I think it evens out to about 50 cents more, per sleeve of Javita. Considering its relatively clean product, that tastes awesome and has a few nutritional bonuses, you can't go wrong. I will admit, when I look at your $45 USD, It does seem like a lot for coffee, but in all honesty I have worked at jobs where I spent nearly 6 bucks a day just on waters, maybe a soda and a snack. I probably could have packed a nutritious meal and brought my own water and spent a  $1.25 on coffee and got much more out of it. Had I spent that $1.25 a day instead, I'd probably have burnt about $43 a month, and that was about 6 years ago. Not to sound like a rep myself lol, I'm just saying, the stuff is good and the price really isn't all that unreasonable, at least I don't think.
