About Us | Specialty Java Inc.

Specialty Java Inc.

Specialty Java Inc. is a specialty, artisan craft coffee roaster, founded in 2002. Each Specialty Java brand order is fresh roasted then shipped within hours directly to consumers and to wholesale coffee clients across the USA such as coffee shops, cafes, and online retailers for the freshest possible roast.

We also produce our own wildly popular Jo Coffee brand which we created in 2013, as an exclusively Fair Trade Organic coffee brand identity.

At the time, Jo Coffee was specifically for distribution through the Amazon FBA channel, but has since grown to many others. It has become one of Amazon's highest rated organic coffee brands with over 20,000 plus positive reviews.

It Starts Here

We source only the finest, top 2% specialty grade Arabica green coffee, from around the world. Before we ever import our specialty coffee beans, they have passed the expert analysis and cupping palates of one of the world's best specialty coffee importers. The green coffee we source and purchase is far more expensive than lower grade coffee. Many large national brands, use a lower so-called "premium" grade coffee, a term common (a bit misleading) in the coffee industry. We simply avoid cheap, low grade coffees, which contributes to our highly rated and popular specialty coffee.

Creating Perfection

Not all coffee is created equal. We are first and foremost artisan craft roasters and strive for perfection in every hand-crafted artisan roast. Of course we are proud of our quality, but it is the opinion of the end consumer that actually matters. For instance, one of our wholesale coffee shop clients was voted by their own customers, in a CBS/WCCO TV online poll, as the "Best Coffee Shop" in the entire state. Our own trademarked Jo Coffee brand has become one of Amazon's highest rated organic coffee brands nationwide, with over 20,000+ positive coffee reviews.

Simple Pleasures

Coffee is more than just a beverage; it is a ritual, a moment of pause, and embodies a world of simple pleasures. From the aroma when opening the bag to the freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air and savoring each sip, it brings feelings of joy and rejuvenates our sense of well-being. Coffee is also a social catalyst of human connection, whether it’s at work, at home, or anywhere in between. Coffee truly makes us happy.

The Founders

We’ve grown purely through quality, reputation, and word-of-mouth, without a sales team. Our founder, Kevin Kapaun, began roasting coffee as a hobby for friends and family. After gifting Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee to his friends, Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame bass player Larry Graham and his wife Tina, Larry encouraged Kevin to turn his passion into a business. He became Kevin’s first customer. Today, Specialty Java Inc. is an artisan micro-roastery that produces several in-house brands and many private label coffees across multiple roasting plants.

Specialty Grade Arabica Coffee

It should be no surprise we recommend using the highest quality specialty coffee. Specialty grade coffee beans are the highest grade level, even higher than premium grade, a common and somewhat deceptive term used in the industry. Large, well-known commercial brands, regularly use cheap low-grade coffee beans to increase profits. While we do produce conventional coffees, we do recommend organic coffee. USDA Certified Organic coffee is grown on farms, according to strict standards set up by the United States Department of Agriculture, with no chemical contamination. Organic growing methods also benefit the environment. All USDA Certified Organic farming and subsequent roasting operations are inspected annually for compliance.

A Best Rated Organic Brand

The Game Changer

We started the Jo Coffee Certified Organic coffee brand in 2013 to serve the growing demand for gourmet coffee lovers shopping on Amazon. With over 20,000 positive coffee reviews it has been an incredibly huge hit. Jo Coffee is now one of Amazon's highest rated organic coffee brands. Amazon's customer-centric business model has truly changed the world.
