Coffee Description
The satisfaction quota is through the roof for this full-bodied coffee that just won a bronze medal in the espresso category at the recent 2018 Golden Bean competition . Mild acidity and rich syrupy body join subtle citrus notes and a Kenyan-like spice. Flavor notes include juicy fruit punch and coconut with a sweetness reminiscent of oatmeal cookie and a hint of lemongrass.

Tinker Coffee Co.
When brothers-in-law Steve Hall and Jeff Johnson founded Tinker Coffee Co., they had a simple plan: bring the specialty coffee scene to their own Indianapolis, Indiana backyard. Combining backgrounds in wine and tech (Jeff worked with IBM for 10 years) with a dedication to sourcing fantastic coffees and sharing the excitement with customers, Tinker Coffee was named "Best Coffee in Indiana" by Food & Wine, so their hard work is paying off!
Tinker Coffee was founded in 2014 and roasts coffee for a sweet group of restaurants, cafes, offices, and markets. Jeff admits to preferring Colombian coffees, and Steve, Kenyas.
