Our Friends at Texas Coffee Club
We’d like to introduce you to the Texas Coffee Club, headed up by Kevin McCreary in Pearland, TX. Kevin is a CPA, coder, and coffee lover, which is exactly what lead him to create Texas Coffee Club.
For years, Kevin worked as a CPA in corporate financial departments and travelled all over the world. One of his first international trips, 30 something years ago, was to Pescara, Italy where he was introduced to espresso. It was love at first drink. He was so taken away by the Italian espresso that the company he was auditing gave him a stovetop Moka pot to take home. That Moka pot is still being used. Often!
Over the years, Kevin’s love of coffee never waned, but professionally he realized he preferred coding software over accounting. He started his own small business writing software code, and his two work passions became intertwined. Creating apps for accounting and tax departments in large corporations allowed him to use his accounting knowledge but in a different way. All the while, there was still such a passion for coffee!
Then, in January 2020, he and a coffee roaster friend were having breakfast at the local Waffle House talking about business ideas. That discussion birthed the concept of a website that would focus solely on Texas coffee roasters. Specifically, it would match Texas roasters with coffee drinkers who otherwise wouldn’t know about them. Not only could he combine his software coding talents with his love for good coffee, but he could also provide a platform to help other Texas small business owners, the Texas coffee roasters. Now this was exciting!
Kevin began reaching out to Texas coffee roasters and started the coding in February 2020. Just a few months later, on October 5, 2020, Texas Coffee Club was officially open for business. The goal of introducing coffee drinkers from all over our nation to Texas artisanal coffee roasters had begun. Today, Texas Coffee Club has 50 Texan roasters that are providing exceptional coffees to consumers throughout the USA.
We have enjoyed being part of the Texas Coffee Club not just because it’s meant extra coffee sales for us, but because it’s exposed us to some other Texas roasters that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Check them out today!
