A little about me........

I’ve been drinking coffee for as far back as I can remember. Literally…..I can’t remember NOT drinking coffee. When most older people shied away from giving kids coffee, my great -grandmother let me indulge whenever she did (probably done to keep me from begging for hers).  Always served to me with more cream and sugar than coffee, my love for coffee had begun nevertheless.

Fast forward forty plus years and look at how the coffee landscape has changed. Cans of instant coffee and stove top peculators in homes are rare sites, replaced with K-Cups and $1000 countertop Espresso machines.  Cafes and shops are everywhere, specializing in exotic brews that people are willing to pay up to $6 a cup for. “Serious” coffee drinkers can discuss at length the subtle taste and body differences in coffee based on the region and/or location in the world were the coffee beans were grown and harvested.   Yet, despite the evolution of coffee, the satisfaction of enjoying a good cup of coffee has not changed. That feeling is what has made coffee the most popular beverage on the planet.

That feeling is what pressed me to start this journey. That feeling that takes me right back to my great-grandmothers kitchen table. That feeling that takes me back to all night study sessions in college with my now lifelong friends. That feeling that takes me back to when a “Let’s meet up for coffee” conversation turned into “I Do” commitment 18 months later. Family gatherings, work functions, business meetings, PTA meetings…….You name the event and coffee is there. And when you are creating memories, who would want bad coffee to be a part of them?

Thanks for indulging me in my musings and I thank you for visiting our site. I hope that you take a look at what Brew N Beans has to offer and treat yourself to some good coffee and make it a part of even better memories.
