Our Story

Meet the Founder

I have been a Pipefitter with Local 597 in Chicago for the last 10 years. I combined the two things I knew and loved most - the trades and a good cup of coffee. 

I started TradeFuel Coffee with a simple mission in mind: Drink Coffee. Build America. It is my goal to fuel the workers who build America with the quality cup of coffee we deserve.

Every bag is sourced, roasted, and packaged in-house in Chicago, IL

WHAT WE STAND FOR

QUALITY FIRST

We roast in small batches for maximum freshness and bold flavor.

TRADES-DRIVEN

Our blends are inspired by real work — from steel mills to pipelines to jobsite trailers.

COMMUNITY FOCUSED

A portion of our time and resources go toward connecting people to apprenticeships, unions, and trade opportunities.

Uplifting Blue Collar

It's time to shine a spotlight on the working class again. We are building a community that will put the blue collar back on the map.

Frequently asked questionS

About the same as a strong cup of black coffee — around 95mg in an 8oz serving.

Nope. No foam hearts here. Just strong, straight coffee built for long shifts.

Yes. Set it and forget it. Coffee shows up on schedule so you don’t run out

Right here in the USA. Fresh, bold, and ready for the jobsite.
