About Us
Our company's mission is deeply rooted in a strong work ethic and giving back to the community. Abrusci's Coffee is dedicated to providing local businesses with the finest coffee beans, cold brew, and nitro cold brew, all while positively impacting our local, veteran, and first responder communities, as well as nonprofit organizations and the communities where we source our beans. With a team hailing from military and law enforcement backgrounds and a strong family foundation in philanthropic and nonprofit work, our goal is to measure our success through the radiant smiles of those who enjoy our coffee and the positive impact we make on the world around us. At Abrusci's Coffee, it's more than just a cup of coffee; it's a commitment to making a difference and bringing communities together, one drip at a time.
From an early age, I was driven by an explorer's spirit, an insatiable thirst for knowledge and unwavering commitment to anything that piqued my interest. From a young knucklehead age, I set my sights on the Marine Corps. and stayed zeroed in on that goal until I joined in 2009.
I was lucky to serve in the infantry with the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, Echo Company, formally known as the "American Battalion." It was during our deployment to Sangin Valley, Afghanistan in 2011 that my deep appreciation for coffee took root. MRE coffee became a source of comfort and a brief escape from the harsh realities of our world, it was somehow capable of transporting us back home.
Shortly after the Marines, I ventured into law enforcement. I witnessed how coffee played a similar role to what I'd observed while deployed, providing a much needed respite for our men and women in blue while fostering camaraderie among them. Around this time, I also jumped into nonprofit work embarking on a mission to combat veteran suicide while combating the global water crisis.
During my time traveling through the Amazon where we worked to turn on running water for local schools, I spent time in Ethiopia. I was lucky enough to witness what the Ethiopians consider to be the highest level of respect upon entering a local’s home, a coffee roasting ceremony. The beauty of this ceremony and being served their local roasts brought an immediate sense of community that I will not forget.
Soon after returning from Ethiopia, I was placed on loan with a Federal Agency and served on their Special Response Team (SRT). I saw the coffee tradition continue as SRT met at a diner after every early morning operation for a coffee and laughs.
This brings me to the official starting chapter of my coffee career. I began talking with friends in Colombia and really researching the coffee industry. I took all my past experiences around coffee and tied it together. I noticed how the word community keep popping up alongside the word coffee and thought, community is something I know about. So, if I know about community then I know about coffee. The only think left to do, was SEND IT. Took my family's work ethic, values, and legacy, bundled it all up and spawned Abrusci's Coffee...
