Nature of Research Instrumentation/Process

In this research, the researchers first determined the topic to be discussed, followed by the

actions of defining the research objectives, developing a research plan, and designing the research

instruments to be used. After that is the data collection process, which involves administering the

issue, such as coffee purchase behavior and preferences. Focus group discussion generates rich

qualitative data that complement the quantitative data acquired through surveys and other methods,

making it an effective tool for investigating the study objectives. The group discussion can be used

to investigate the reasons for specific coffee purchasing behaviors, identify changes and trends in

new ideas and recommendations for how coffee shops can better cater to the preferences and

behaviors of people in the market as well as ZNNHS students.

prepare the discussion guide as well as the research/guide questions that will be used. The

ensuring that the participants feel comfortable sharing their views and firsthand knowledge during

the focus group discussion. The focus group discussion should then be managed by an appropriate

offer their thoughts. The moderator would offer open-ended questions from the discussion guide

and urge participants to expound on their replies. The interviews were then performed while
