Three (3) 12 oz. bags of ground coffee from Velasquez Family Coffee in St. Paul, Minnesota!

  • Maximo's French Roast (12 oz bag)
  • Memo's Breakfast Blend (12 oz bag)
  • Italian Roast (12 oz bag)

St. Paul, Minnesota, is home to Guillermo & Cathy Velasquez.


Some 30 years ago, while visiting an aunt in Florida, Guillermo stepped in to help a young woman wrestling to start an old lawnmower. Cathy Eberhart had just arrived from South Dakota for a two-year volunteer assignment through the United Methodist Church. Fortunately, love requires no translator - though communication during their first dates necessitated a handy English-to-Spanish dictionary.

Her assignment complete, Guillermo and Cathy married and settled in the Twin Cities. Both graduated from the University of Minnesota - he with a degree in animal and plant systems, and she with a master's in public affairs from the Humphrey Institute. Upon graduation in 1998 Guillermo started in crop research at the U, and continues that work today.

In 2001, they began importing premium coffee beans directly from family farms in Honduras, roasting them here, and delivering packages to the doors of neighbors and friends. Velasquez Family Coffee was born - bringing coffee from high in the Honduran cloud forest directly to the Land of 10,000 Lakes
