Founding Story

Copper Moon Coffee is a family-owned coffee roaster with entrepreneurial spirit and roots that stretch back more than a century. Brad and Cary Gutwein grew up working side by side in their family’s agricultural business, where they learned the values of hard work, integrity, and quality. In 2007, after successfully leading their family’s prior venture to national growth, the brothers set their sights on a new passion—coffee. Drawing on decades of experience in sourcing, production, and distribution, they purchased Copper Moon Coffee, originally founded in the late 1960s, with a mission to bring exceptional, 100% Arabica coffee to customers everywhere.

From the beginning, Copper Moon Coffee has been fueled by the idea that great coffee inspires great possibilities. The Gutweins built the company around a commitment to craft roasting, consistency, and a personal touch—values rooted in their family tradition. They view every customer as part of the Copper Moon family and believe each cup should be more than just a daily ritual; it should be the fuel that propels people to reach higher, dream bigger, and, as their motto says, “Reach for the Moon.”

Today, Copper Moon Coffee continues to grow while staying true to its small-batch origins. Every roast is carefully developed to highlight the unique character of its beans, ensuring that whether enjoyed at home, in a café, or at work, every sip delivers the same dedication to quality that began when two brothers decided to channel their family legacy into a new frontier.
