        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jimmy Butler is grinding away to pad his $34 million salary this season.</p><p>The Heat star has taken over the monopoly on coffee shops inside the NBA&#8217;s bubble, using his French press and other accessories to charge his fellow players $20 a cup.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m working on my coffee skills,&#8221; Butler said on <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1294432543840907266" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;The Jump&#8221; with Rachel Nichols</a>. &#8220;After my career, I&#8217;m opening my coffee shop. Right now, I&#8217;m charging 20 bucks a cup. So if you want some, come through.&#8221;</p><p>Butler calls his shop &#8220;Big Face Coffee,&#8221; according to a <a href="https://twitter.com/dudski/status/1294671885054222336" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">photo of a whiteboard menu</a> since deleted by teammate Meyers Leonard. He takes cash only &#8212; no I.O.U.&#8217;s &#8212; and offers a variety of drinks: latte, pour over, cappuccino, americano, espresso, red eye, mocha, macchiato and cafe au lait.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jimmy Butler told Rachel Nichols he&#39;s selling coffee to fellow players inside the bubble for $20. ☕</p><p>The guy has a french press machine inside his room. Gotta respect the hustle. <strong>pic.twitter.com/omECUnHwY7</strong></p><p>&mdash; ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1294432543840907266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 15, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t get coffee nowhere here,&#8221; Butler said. &#8220;So I might bump it up to 30 bucks a cup. Just depends. People here can afford it. So ain&#8217;t nobody complaining.&#8221;</p><p>The clientele may have shrunk this weekend as six teams went home after failing to qualify for the playoffs in seeding games. Butler and the Heat own the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, setting them up for a first-round matchup against the Pacers.</p>]]></content:encoded>
