About Me:

The business was created by Ray Vinson and Dave Ebner, students at the University of South Florida and two avid coffee fanatics that were upset with their local selection of the tasty beverage. So they sought out ways to create their own coffee, not dictated by big business, but controlled by them and to their liking. What they found out was that they had been tricked by coffee manufacturers all their lives. They had been fed what they thought were bold beans, but were really burnt beans. There are hundreds of different types of coffee beans, and their names derive from their origin, or where in the world they are grown. What Ray and Dave discovered is that different types of beans are better when roasted to certain darkness, and most of them are not designed to be charbroiled. After their discovery Ray and Dave ran out and bought a popcorn popper, yes, a popcorn popper. With their newly purchased capital and some green beans they acquired, they went to work. There were many trials and many errors, but after a few weeks they produced a tasty treat they respectfully named Coffee. We've come a long way since the popcorn popper. An we'd like you to join us on our quest for the perfect cup.
