Tucked away in Lafayette, Indiana, just a short drive from Indianapolis, lies one of the most impressive coffee operations we’ve ever had the chance to tour, Copper Moon Coffee. As soon as we stepped through the doors, we were greeted not just by the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans but by the incredible hospitality of Braden Gutwein, CEO, and Nick Thompson, VP of Sales & Marketing. These two guided us through an immersive experience that revealed the true depth and craft behind every cup of Copper Moon.
What makes Copper Moon Coffee stand out isn’t just their premium beans or state-of-the-art roasting equipment. It’s their dedication to quality, community, and purpose. As a family owned and operated company right here in Indiana, Copper Moon Coffee is proudly rooted in the local community but has a far reaching mission.
During the tour, we saw every step of their process from sourcing and roasting to grinding, packaging, and shipping. Watching the transformation from green coffee beans to beautifully packaged products ready to hit shelves was nothing short of inspiring. You can tell that every part of the process is meticulously thought out and designed for excellence.
One of the most exciting takeaways from our visit was learning how Copper Moon Coffee connects their brand to something bigger, the universe. With names like Dark Sky, Moonlight Serenade, and Blast Off, their blends are more than flavors. They’re experiences. Whether you like bold, rich roasts or smooth, mellow flavors, there’s a blend designed to take you to another world.
You can explore their full lineup and order online at www.coppermooncoffee.com.
And it’s not just the taste that’s out of this world. Copper Moon focuses on responsible sourcing and sustainability through their SEE Copper Moon Rising™ initiative, which supports small farms and empowers women in coffee growing regions across the globe.
Another surprising and amazing fact? Copper Moon Coffee is a proud supporter of the aerospace industry. Their commitment to fueling innovation and supporting the people who help us explore the stars perfectly aligns with their brand’s cosmic theme.
But perhaps what struck us most was this. Many locals still don’t know that Copper Moon Coffee is right here in their own backyard. That’s something we hope to help change. The work they’re doing, the quality of their coffee, and their heart for the community deserve to be known, shared, and celebrated.
If you’ve never tried Copper Moon Coffee, now is the time. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a coffee connoisseur, you’ll find something to love. And if you’re local to Indiana, know that one of the nation’s most innovative and community focused coffee roasters is brewing magic just around the corner.
We’re incredibly thankful to Braden and Nick for opening their doors to us and showing what Copper Moon is all about. The next time you’re brewing a cup, look for the Copper Moon because supporting local never tasted so good.
