Putting Clout in Your Cup: What is Barrel Aged Coffee?
Note from the author: This article was recently featured in the August 2021 issue of Edge Magazine. http://edgemagazine.com/putting-clout-in-your-cup/ What is barrel aged coffee? In the 16th century, as coffee made its way into Europe, coffee beans were transported in wine barrels, while still green, effectively aging during the trip. In...
My old employer said I'd fail. He was right.
I failed and failed and failed again. I continue to fail. Without all of my failures, Clout Coffee wouldn't be here today. We all fail. Fall down, get up, learn from our mistakes and keep moving forward. My start to entrepreneurship was owning and publishing a magazine. I should back...
It's what's on the inside that counts!
I'm guessing that you've heard the phrase "It's what's on the inside that counts." Typically this refers to a person's personality over appearance. For this blog post I am referring to Clout Coffee. We make great coffee, but we also look a little rough around the edges. Have you ever...
Tip of the Iceberg
Tip of the iceberg is referred to as the smaller part of a larger unseen piece. This photo illustrates the expression well. There are 100 sampler boxes in the photo and the amount of time and energy that are put into each piece is unseen. What I see though is...
Published Author
As of today, one day into being a year older, I am officially a published author. The title Seed Money was in my head long before the words even hit the paper. The book took a much different road than I imagined. Most of my book I shared the first...
Hotel coffee
This is an important weekend for my husband and boys. It is opening weekend for rifle season. My boys are avid deer hunters. I'm not much of a deer meat eater but they all love it. What do I love about this weekend? I get peace and quiet and time...
Taking work home
Hi friends, It's been quite awhile since I dropped a line to you. Many things have changed with Clout since my last post. One thing that hasn't changed is my desire to put more Clout in your cup. We are gearing up for online growth and working toward retail growth...
A barcode the size of a shot glass?
Hi friends, It's been a hot minute since I've sat down and written on my blog. We've been quite busy working to scale up to bring you more Clout. What a crazy past few months, right?! Clout moved into new commercial space and we are slowly making progress to get...
What a day!
Today was a day for the books. I celebrated this Mother's Day with my boys while I put final touches on my first book. They played video games and watched tv while I spent hours writing scenes for my first book. My boys and husband did give me a nice...
New barrels coming soon - and they aren't just bourbon ;)
Hi friends! Exciting news to share! We will soon have coffee from a Single Malt Whisky barrel from Brickway and a Templeton Rye barrel of coffee as well. Next in line after that we are back to bourbon with another local distillery in Iowa. Lonely Oak Distillery is worth a...
Growing this business is barrels of fun!
I was recently telling another frazzled business owner to breathe and work through it. Turns out I needed to take my own advice. This is without a doubt a very busy and challenging time. I'd be busy continuing to bag coffee but I knew the website needed an update and...
