Over the last 7 days, I’ve roasted more than 300 lbs of coffee. Driven more than 400 miles to deliver, shipped out more than 70 boxes, took 4 finals, and more importantly got to meet some incredible people. Easily the most exciting and productive week of my life. @Moiicoffee
Roasting coffee for the 3rd time in 7 days! Grateful for your support!
Today, I'm roasting 130 pounds of coffee, the most I've ever done. Upgraded from a 5kg to a 10kg roaster and hoping to move to a 20kg roaster soon.
Thanks for being part of our coffee journey! @Moiicoffee
When two donkeys fell off a mountain road in Ethiopia, dumping a load of coffee, it set in motion a sequence of events that led to Firaol Ahmed’s arrival in St. Louis, running at SLU and a business venture that honors his culture. https://t.co/IZa7zmq7qy via @stltoday
What a phenomenal read about SLU sophomore runner Firaol Ahmed. He runs an Ethiopian coffee business, Moii, while being a full time student athlete. To say he has a bright future is a massive understatement, his business is already profitable in year 1!

As we celebrate Women's International Day, let's remember women's contributions to the industry and renew our commitment to creating a just and equitable world.
Happy International Women's Day!
Happy International Women's Day!
Today, we want to honor the history of women in coffee and the important role they’ve played in shaping the industry we know and love today.
Another important figure in the history of women in coffee is Kimberly Easson.
She was the first woman to win the US Barista Championship in 2009 and went on to represent the US at the World Barista Championship that same year.
Another woman in coffee history is
Erna Knutsen. She invented the term "specialty coffee" in 1974, which is now commonly used in the coffee industry.
She was a veteran trader and coffee expert who first used the term in an interview with Tea & Coffee Trade Journal.
