Why Long Dog Coffee?

Let me tell you about Kev.

Before I knew him, Kev was a racer called Kev’s Turbo.

I adopted him in March, 2018.  Just as my life became difficult.

Through everything, Kev was kind, stoic and gentle.  Playful and loving.  He didn't judge.  He was just present. 

He simply stayed by my side.  A reason to endure.  That was exactly what I needed.

He guided me through the hardest years of my life.

Kev passed away in January 2024. I don't think i'd have made it without him.

So I started asking myself a  question.

How could I help dogs like Kev?  

I’ve spent the last fifteen years in business.  Long Dog Coffee is my attempt to use those skills for something that matters.

It’s about building a business that does good. 

Every bag of coffee helps honour Kev’s memory.  It  helps another sighthound too.

Because this was never just about coffee.

It is about repaying a debt of gratitude.

Thank you, Kev.
