Who says coffee isn’t gay?

Red hanky roast

“From Facebook fans to emails from around the world, we are humbled by the connection our customers make with Gay Coffee every day. For me, it’s been the journey of a lifetime, allowing me to blend my passion for roasting coffee with support for my community.”

Gay Coffee founder Melissa Krueger, whose coffee products debuted at this year’s Castro Street Fair in October. The company recently announced the addition of tins and mugs to its roster, which is centered around five hand-roasted blends of coffee. The blends have names like “Stone Butch Breakfast Blend,” “Good Morning Mary” and “Red Hanky Roast.” The company donates 1 percent of all profits to The Task Force. (PR Newswire)
