Coffee and Bmx

How did we get started on this new adventure fusing coffee and BMX together, two of our favorite things you ask? Let me explain…

My husband Andrew and I really enjoy coffee, like a lot. I’m proud to admit I more than like it, I may be a little addicted to it.

Andrew (Andy to me) has his own addiction: Freestyle BMX. He’s been riding for 35+ years and at 46, he’s still going strong (not quite as strong as he used to but he’s still going!).

A year ago a BMX buddy of Andys mentioned that he had started his own coffee business. If you know my husband you’ll know he jumped at the opportunity to support a fellow rider and knowing my love for coffee, he bought a few bags for us. Along with buying coffee he also started collecting information. That information started (insert coffee pun!) brewing…

Did I know any of this? No. The only thing I knew at that time was that I really liked the coffee. I’m a tend to put creamer in my coffee and black coffee is yuck, kind of girl, but this coffee was so smooth with a nice flavor and not a hint of bitterness that I quite enjoyed drinking it black. Not enough to give up my creamer but enough that I don’t put creamer in my coffee every day.

When Andy mentioned his idea to me, I wasn’t sure I agreed until we sat down and went through the pros and cons. We hashed everything out and set realistic goals that we agreed upon. After that I was ready to go. Really, I don’t feel we can go wrong with coffee, although that may be because I love it so much.

Since that talk we’ve spent a lot of time brainstorming things to do, what to implement next. We are still trying to figure out other ways to incorporate Coffee and BMX together because to us, the two go hand in hand.

We’ve got so many ideas and plans we want to start working on, but we are both new to running a business and working together that we are just focusing on one thing at a time. Right now, that's learning; about our coffee, the coffee process, how to create a website (not easy if I say so myself), and much more. Then there’s the manual labor which I will admit falls more to Andy, but I’m ok with that. He’s good at his job.

This is just the beginning though and we do hope you’ll follow along and enjoy some of our coffee with us.

(Not) THE END
