Big Watt Coffee (Season 2 Ep. 20) Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Big Watt was created under the roof of Five Watt Coffee, a thriving neighborhood coffee shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founders Lee Carter, Jason Westplate and Caleb Garn combined their powers and passions as three coffee and beverage industry veterans with similar philosophies.
The partnership has grown into having four 5 Watt Coffee shops and is now moving into the space of developing the Big Watt brand by creating more caffeinated canned beverages. From cold press, caffeinated seltzers and CBD oil-infused beverages to whatever is next on the horizon, likely Big Watt will be there.
