Our story
Years ago, on a farm near New Providence, IA, a small four year old walked in the front door after a morning of working on the farm with his dad and asked his mother, “Got any coffee made?”. Since that day, Ty has been on a coffee knowledge-gathering mission, and is ready to share his insights (and coffee) with the world!
For Ty, the ‘aha moment’ that brought him into the specialty coffee scene was at a café in Jacksonville, Florida. On the menu there, a filter coffee was said to taste like peach gummy- this bold statement needed to be investigated! Sure enough, this coffee delivered, and for Ty, coffee would never be the same.
We hope to be able to deliver similar ‘aha moments’ through excellent coffee sourcing, roasting, and education.
Our process
Our aim is to do simple things well.
This begins with the most crucial step- sourcing! We source interesting, delicious, specialty-grade green coffees.
We take the green coffee, carefully and precisely roast it to maintain its unique origin characteristics, and package and ship it to you!
A few of our values:
We want to be:
People-first. Coffee’s neat and all, but it’s people that matter at the end of the day.
Community-driven. We hope our coffee can provide a forum in which community can thrive.
An educational resource. We’d love to share our knowledge and passion with you. Please feel free to reach out for a chat.
A shining light. Our world is filled with hopelessness and brokenness. We aim to bring the opposite to you- hope, joy, and love!
At 8:28 Coffee Co, we’re always looking for exciting opportunities.
