Consumers’ relationship with coffee was deepening. But it seemed like the larger category had lost the plot. There was a growing disparity between peoples’ obsession with coffee, and the category’s lukewarm relationship with it.

We saw an opportunity to connect with true coffee people over a shared obsession with coffee.
