Coffee that truly provides for “Greater Good”
W
By Laurel Robertson
hen your morning cup of coffee kickstarts not only your day, but gives a lift to your entire community — that’s a Greater Good, believe the owners of Greater Goods Coffee Roasters in Dripping Springs. Husband and wife Trey Cobb and Khanh Trang opened their coffee roasting business in Dripping Springs last year to fulfill two passions: roasting some of the world’s best coffees and trying to do some good in the communities they serve. The self-described “philantropreneurs” had recently sold an auto parts manufacturing business they’d built over 38 years and wanted to create a new enterprise that meant more to them personally. “We thought - let’s base it on something people do everyday anyway, so everyone can do good,” reasoned Trey. They created a business model for their new en-
terprise that allows them to donate part of each sale to four regional charities. Austin Pets Alive receives one day of support for a rescue animal for each 12 ounce bag of A.M. Rescue, Life Saver, or Take Me Home coffee purchased. A purchase of Bright Minds, Spark, or Stimulate coffee also buys a day for a child in need at the Boys and Girls Club of Austin. Greater Goods provides three meals at the Capital Area Food Bank for every purchase of Kickstart, Pick Me Up, or Rise and Shine. And for every bag of Ethiopian or Cold Brew Blend, they’ll donate $1 to the Autism Society of Central Texas. In just their first six months of operation in 2015, Greater Goods was able to donate 10,000 meals to the Capital Area Food Bank and 3,000 days of canine rehabilitation at Austin Pets Alive.
