Ismael Mendoza hasn't added a story.

Hi Friends!

My name is Ismael Mendoza, but you can call me Chito. I'm from Fresno, CA and I am pursuing my dream of starting a coffee business.

Whether at an event, or right in the hustle of your weekday work scene, Cold Mountain Coffee Co. is a mobile coffee cart that brings the daily grind to your daily grind. We provide only the most flavorful beans from local roasteries who fairly partner with coffee farmers directly.  Local. Fair. Flavorful.

With your contribution, you will help launch Cold Mountain Coffee Co. from the ground up! That means funding for the cart itself, the equipment, the supplies, permits, and other overhead costs.

Here's the breakdown:

  • Coffee Cart: $6,000 (Fridge, water tanks, electric, sink, generator, etc.)
  • Equipment: $4,200 (Espresso machine, grinders, tanks, etc.)
  • Products & supplies: $1000 (Coffee beans, milk, cups, etc.)
  • Miscellaneous: $800 (Permits, licenses, marketing, etc.)

When I think of coffee, I think of beginnings...

Coffee is the first thing most people crave at the beginning of their day. A business transaction or partnership can be established over a cuppa joe and a firm handshake. A shot of espresso on a Monday morning can spark a Nobel Prize winning discovery. An extra cup of java can help master the final touches of a beautiful work of art. A warm brew can champion a profoundly crafted novel. A casual coffee rendezvous can be last first date in a lifelong relationship that results in marriage and a family.

There are many stories that start with coffee that lead to greatness. Will you journey with me and together help write a coffee story of greatness?

Your Friend,

Chito
