Retiring on Caffeine | Human Interest | Scoop.it

When R.C. Beall called his friend Scott Brant in the middle of the night in 1980, there was not a single coffee roaster between Spokane and Minneapolis.

“How about we roast some coffee?” Beall asked.

“I know nothing about coffee,” Brant replied.


The next day, Brant went to the library and borrowed “All About Coffee,” a kid’s book.

“Coffee is this exotic and mysterious product, grown all over the world in places I had never heard of,” Brant said. “I was hooked.”


The following year – 1981 – Montana Coffee Traders was born.
