How it all started
My path to launching a coffee company started in Portland, OR, back in 2016. It was there that I started learning the craft of roasting at a local collective, while immersing myself in industry events and classes.
A few years later, we made the move back to San Diego, and it became clear: it was time to turn my dream into reality.
The name Big Step Coffee is inspired by my son, who would excitedly shout “Big Step!” whenever we encountered a large crack on our walks. For me, the name represents that same spirit of adventure and fearlessness—taking a leap of faith into the unknown.
At Big Step Coffee, our mission is simple: to source and roast exceptional coffee and share it with a community of like-minded coffee lovers.
I invite you to join me on this journey—not just to enjoy great coffee, but to be inspired to find your own “Big Step.”

From Sourcing to roasting
Growing and producing high quality coffee takes tremendous skill, risk, and hard work. My mission at Big Step is to honor the work and craft that has gone into each bean.
Big Step sources coffee through import partners that have deep and long-standing relationships with the producers and communities.
