Interview with Tim and Tommy Thwaites, co-presidents

Q: How did you get involved in this business?

A: Tim and Tommy Thwaites, brothers from America's coffee heartland, left the Seattle area in search of adventure and prosperity. They took different paths but reconnected in Denver. Over the years they had acquired a significant amount of experience in the specialty coffee industry. They have studied all facets of coffee from the origin characteristics of green coffees, to the art of roasting, through drink preparation and retail interface. As young entrepreneurs with a combined 24 years of industry experience, they partnered with Tom Sr. to develop the Coda Coffee Company. The mission is simple: to set the standard for coffee excellence through education, advocacy and partnerships.

Q:What distinguishes you from other businesses in your category?

A: Coda's commitment to quality, social responsibility and environmental responsibility set it apart from other companies in its industry.

Quality: Not only does Coda choose to roast the highest quality coffee, they work with coffee farmers to ensure they're offering the best product around.

Social Responsibility: Coda chooses to help those in need. They donate much of their time and money to local charities and events.

Environmental Responsibility: Coda tries to limit its impact on the environment. Beyond composting and recycling, Coda delivers all of their coffee in a van run on bio-diesel, has a state-of-the art training room built with renewable resources, and is one of the world's first eco-friendly roasters.

Q: What do you like best about your line of work?

A: A lot of our customers are start-up entrepreneurs with little or no coffee experience. It is very rewarding to help them from initial training (seeing them make their first latte!) to opening their stores and being successful.

Q: What is your business' biggest challenge?

A: To get the everyday consumer/coffee drinker to understand what the farmer, roaster and retailer does to produce a great cup of coffee. There are so many things that need to be done right to produce an amazing cup of coffee, and only one thing needs to go wrong to produce a bad cup.

Q: Something people might be surprised to learn about you/your business:

A: Coda Coffee offers extensive training and education for its customers. A lot of people new to the industry think making coffee is a pretty simple task. To us, it's a very in-depth scientific process with many variables. Often times while training, we start talking about "thermal integrity of equipment" or "proper extraction techniques" and people stop us and say, "Wow I had no idea coffee could be this technical!" We take that as a compliment. While training, the focus is never to confuse people, but to offer an in-depth perspective about how to make the best cup of coffee to help make their business successful.

Coffea - A Year In The Making!

The Coffea Shop

Welcome to our new website/blog!  If you don't already know us, here's a little introduction!

We are Evan and Brittany Baca, and we started The Coffea Shop October 1st 2012.  We were both born and raised in Rocky Ford.  We have three kids - Alec (5), Hannah (3), and Ethan (due to arrive in about 2 months!).  We love coffee! Just in case you didn't know that about us.  So that's not as big of an introduction as I expected it to be, but I'm not sure what else you really want to know... If you think I left out something important, just ask, and I might tell you.

You may have noticed that I said we started the shop October 1st, 2012 - which means we are coming up on our 1st Year Anniversary real soon!  And we are SO excited!  We've got big plans for the first week in October so stay tuned as we begin to announce all the super awesome amazingly fun things that will happen!!!!!  And mark it on your calendar or something so you don't accidentally make plans to be somewhere else, because seriously it will be so much fun.

Anyway, that's all for now.  More info coming soon!
