Founded in Pittsburgh by United States Air Force veteran Milo Speranzo, Brave Bean Coffee started with a single location, The Vault Coffeehouse, known for its vibrant community atmosphere and exceptional coffee. Now, with the launch of the e-commerce platform, Brave Bean Coffee extends its reach, offering six distinct coffee blends roasted in-house to create an exceptional coffee experience at home.

Milo Speranzo’s journey began during his deployment in Colombia, South America, where he experienced his first “real” cup of coffee. This experience ignited his passion for coffee and inspired him to create an inclusive, community-centric coffee shop upon his return to Pittsburgh. The Vault Coffeehouse, aptly named for its location in a renovated bank, quickly became a beloved community hub where people from all walks of life are welcomed.

“At The Vault, we’ve seen first hand how coffee can bring people together and create a sense of community,” says Milo Speranzo. “With Brave Bean Coffee, we aim to extend that sense of connection and support to veterans and communities on a larger scale.”

A Superior Roasting Process

Brave Bean Coffee’s dedication to quality is evident in its meticulous roasting process.

The company uses a Typhoon 5kg Shoproaster, harnessing a 100% convection roasting method. This innovative roasting technique ensures the coffee beans are less affected by external factors such as temperature and humidity changes. Typhoon Roasters’ energy-efficient design prevents the accumulation of thermal energy, maintaining stable temperatures inside and out.

In addition, Brave Bean employs the Loring S15 Falcon roaster, known for its advanced technology and eco-friendly design. This cutting-edge roaster offers up to 80% fuel savings and dramatically reduces greenhouse gas emissions with its single-burner system. The Loring roaster’s automated controls ensure high-quality results with a consistent, cleaner, more flavourful roast.

 Coffee with A Commitment to Inclusivity and Community

Brave Bean Coffee is committed to supporting veterans, local communities, and ethical initiatives. Every bag of coffee sold contributes to veteran-focused charities, ensuring that each purchase makes a positive impact.

“We believe in the power of coffee to foster conversation, connection, and change in our communities,” Speranzo continues. “By expanding our reach through our new e-commerce site, we hope to make a significant difference for veterans and communities globally.”
