Our Story

From Bellingham to Anacortes:
A Journey of Bold Coffee

1999

The Beginning: Trudy & Joe

Moka Joe was born in Bellingham, Washington, founded by Trudy and Joe—a couple driven by one bold idea: deliver the most socially responsible organic coffee available. Roasted fresh. Delivered quick. They started deliveries on bikes, making it easier to get fresh organic coffee to people who refused to compromise on quality.

2007

Dan & Kirsti Start Coyote Coffee

Dan and Kirsti Mendum, both 1986 Anacortes High School graduates, took a bold step into the coffee world. Dan, a commercial painter, and Kirsti, an educator, armed themselves with a roaster and a dream. They started Coyote Coffee Roasters at our current Anacortes location, where it continues to grow and thrive as its own brand with roasts depicting the Pacific Northwest.

2011

Moka Joe Joins the Family

We embraced an exciting opportunity to acquire Moka Joe, expanding our reach and enhancing our offerings—including private label roasting. This partnership allowed us to honor the legacy Trudy and Joe built while bringing our commitment to quality and ethical sourcing to a wider community. Today, Moka Joe stands as a testament to what happens when bold coffee meets bold people.

Meet the Owners

Dan & Kirsti Mendum

We're not corporate coffee executives. Dan was a commercial painter. Kirsti was an educator. We were drawn to coffee by the love of the craft—and the creativity it demanded.

In 2007, we started roasting coffee at 8146 S. March Point Rd in Anacortes—the same place we roast today. Our kids work at Moka Joe. Our grandkids live right here in Anacortes. This isn't just a business. It's a family legacy.

We still drink drip coffee every single day. And we still believe that bold organic coffee—roasted fresh and sourced right—is worth waking up for.
