Background Coffee Co.

Hello Background Coffee Family!

Hope everyone is having a restful start to the new year. We wanted to let you know that we have made the difficult decision to close Background Coffee Company.

We want to thank each and everyone of you for making our vision become a reality.
Through your support we were able to donate funds and raise awareness for pediatric cancer. One of my favorite quotes is "the shortest distance between two people is a cup of coffee" Coffee is our vehicle to help facilitate a conversation about an important and heavy topic. When things got too heavy we spoke about our coffee and when the opportunity arouse to speak deeply about pediatric cancer coffee was our bridge to make that connection. I feel grateful to have met so many wonderful people that impacted our lives. But don't fret too much we will be popping up in 2025 to do a handful of events to continue the conversation and drink some mindfully sourced delicious coffee.

If you are looking for a new coffee supplier I cannot say enough good things about located in Bridgeport, CT. They are a family owned coffee roaster who takes great care in sourcing and roasting their coffee. Please consider giving them a try. Check your emails for a 10% coupon that Sound Coffee Company was kind enough to offer Background Coffee Company customers.

If you have any questions about Background Coffee please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected].

Thank You for INVESTING IN HOPE!

PS keep an eye out in 2025 for some select events we will be at

We're excited to share one more special update. As of today, "Breakthrough" will be known as "Joy Ride."

This beloved coffee remains unchanged in its quality and taste. Our decision to rename this blend reflects our dedication to LIVFREE's mission, "Joy Ride," embodying positivity, happiness, and the freedom to enjoy life's moments.

Joy Ride is a medium roast blend bursting with flavor, crafted to jumpstart your day and fuel your adventures. This smooth, uplifting cup is like a trip to a sunny place, with notes of citrus and caramel dancing on your palate. Each sip supports LIVFREE, an organization dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for children and families battling pediatric cancer.

Because with every bag of Joy Ride, you're not just brewing a delicious cup, you're brewing a brighter day for a child fighting cancer. Together, let's help families create moments of joy and laughter during their toughest times.
