About Me:
A good shot of espresso moves me heart and soul.

I lived in Italy for a year, but didn't like coffee!. It was only when I moved back and started working at Starbucks that even tried the stuff. From there (thank you cafe Grumpy!) I discovered that coffee could be more than just a fine purveyor of caffeine.

I'm now working to bridge the coffee gap between Philly and NYC!
About My Company:
We are a roaster of delicious, sustainably sourced coffees that is seeking to raise the playing field in NJ and the mid-Atlantic and use coffee to change the city we live in!
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The people.

Its been a while since I have been back (as evidenced by my forgetting the name of Stuff your face, when a girlfriend actually worked there...), but if it is anything like I remember it should definitely work if done correctly and specifically for the area. Love to help you with this so ets keep talking!

Welcome Benjamin...how is the state of coffee in New Brunswick? I haven't been back in a while, but I went to EB High & Rutgers....there was only one shop then, across from the place that sold Boli's and the music store owned by the guy from the smithereens....
