Graduate to a Higher Degree of Coffee
Prof. Coffee Roastery is the one-man hobby-biz of Gerald Figal, who professes things at Vanderbilt University that have nothing to do with coffee. He provides roasted-to-order, micro-batched, hand-delivered, inflation-resistant specialty coffee beans in unique original blends and single-origin varieties exclusively to friends and colleagues at Vanderbilt and to anyone else willing to arrange a dead drop on campus.
Since Gerald has a day job and no business acumen, this venture is very small scale. Which means you are treated to an über-niche commodity that will win you social cachet while bringing joy to your taste buds and a spring to your step. Moreover, Prof. Coffee beans are full of virtue signaling potential: Organic if not Free Trade Organic; Rain Forest Alliance certified when applicable; Direct Trade when appropriate; and sourced from community-sustaining small farms and co-ops (preferably owned and operated by local women). AND, 1% of sales is donated to a decarbonization initiative.
