Salary benchmarks
Our take
In recent years, there has been a boom in demand for speciality and artisan coffee, with consumers showing interest in where their coffee has come from, tasting notes, and more. Pact Coffee, founded in 2012, has been at the forefront of this revolution, supplying subscription speciality coffee for consumers and businesses alike.
These days consumers want to know that what they are drinking is ethically sourced, as well as have it taste more akin to their local coffee shop’s products. Pact Coffee caters to both of these demands, supplying high-end and sustainable coffee, with a focus on protecting farmers and the environment. There are, of course, numerous other coffee subscription services, but Pact Coffee stands out for its devotion to positively impact the industry through its operations and influence.
Pact Coffee has grown significantly since founding, expanding from the from-home business it began as, and beginning to serve businesses such as hotels and offices. The company’s focus on quality and community building has garnered support and investment that will allow it to continue to expand.
