NBA Playoffs: Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are in a barista battle

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- In the NBA bubble, a quality cup of coffee is hard to come by.

The sweets shop in the El Centro lobby on the way to the practice facility -- which offered bitter dark roast -- closed soon after players arrived in early July because it wasn't attracting enough customers. Later that month, the bar in the lobby of the Gran Destino Tower -- which made one of the tastier cups of coffee on campus -- closed for the same reason.

When Jimmy Butler checked into his hotel, he wasn't interested in the coffee made with prepackaged pods that came with the room.
