This family business is passionate about coffee. They want every cup of coffee you sip on to put a smile on your face, warm your heart, and take you on a journey. Every coffee has a story to tell, and many great stories are shared over a cup of coffee. Angelino’s was founded by Kirk Bedrossian in 2002. His passion for coffee began at a young age as he watched his father run his coffee processing business. In 1998, Kirk joined his father on a coffee sourcing trip to Costa Rica and that’s where his love for all things coffee ignited. What was supposed to be a week-long vacation turned into 4 years of traveling alongside his father to coffee regions all around the world. Together, they trekked the jungles of Africa, backpacked through the villages of Indonesia, and voyaged across the Amazon – all in search of finding the best coffees on earth. Available in a variety of blends and flavors in bagged coffees and both Keurig and Nespresso single serve coffees.
