I am a man who loves coffee. I am a man who loves adventure. I am a man who loves a challenge. And that’s why we started Brillo Beans Coffee Roasting Company—a business born not only from my passion for roasting but from a dream that carried our family through one of the toughest times of our lives.
In 2018, our son was diagnosed with large B-cell lymphoma. Watching him go through treatments was one of the hardest things we’ve ever faced as a family. But even during those dark days, he clung to a dream that gave us hope: he wanted to open a coffee shop—a place where people could gather, connect, and feel at home, no matter what life threw at them. It was a dream about more than coffee; it was about building a community and bringing people together.
That dream sparked something in all of us. When our son completed his treatments and started to reclaim his life, we knew we had to make his vision a reality in some way. So, we launched Brillo Beans Coffee Roasting Company, not just as a business, but as a step toward his dream.
We started small, experimenting with roasts in the kitchen, refining the process, and building relationships with coffee farmers who shared our values. Then, we took our beans to local farmers’ markets, where people embraced what we were doing. As word spread, so did our confidence that Brillo Beans was becoming more than just a business—it was a way to honor our son’s spirit and the journey we’d all taken together.
Now, we’re excited to share our coffee with the world through our online store. Each batch we roast represents more than just flavor; it’s a celebration of resilience, hope, and community. We invite you to sign up on our website for updates on new roasts and join us in this journey. With every cup, you’re not just enjoying handcrafted, artisanal coffee—you’re supporting a dream born out of hope.
At Brillo Beans, it’s about more than roasting great coffee. It’s about honoring our past, embracing life’s challenges, and believing in the future. From our family to yours, let’s raise a cup—to community, to dreams, and to the power of hope, one brew at a time.
