· PRE-CAMPAIGN ·

With the working prototype already constructed, when Cris' rig comes online we'll have both founders brewing + collecting data points to run our 30 days of brewing, in hopes to create our Signature Cold Brew Lines

Once Cris' rig is live, we're running 30 consecutive days of batching. Each batch generates a dispatch — written from sensor logs, published here automatically. No editorial delay. Just the numbers and what they mean.

This section will populate day by day. Subscribe below to get each dispatch in your inbox the morning it drops.

· THE BCCB BRAND PRINCIPLES ·

Three principles. Hold us to them.

BE BOLD

[ Bold Brew, Bold Business. ]

BE TRANSPARENT

[ Radical transparency in operations + communications + community. ]

GROW COFFEE

[ Grow coffee community + knowledge, from consumers to homebrewers. ]
· THE GOAL ·

Document the process. Iterate in public. Pour it forward.

We're building one premium cold brew, the same way every time — a documented, iterable process that earns its way from a Los Angeles fridge to a national keg program to a roastery on the ground. Three phases. The product lineup is how phase one shows up on a shelf. Every vessel ships with a QR code that links directly to its batch record — temp logs, steep time, TDS — the full digital twin of the coffee in your hand.

A BCCB roastery and storefront. The brew rig in the window, the batch log on the wall, the bag on the shelf — and a counter to pour from.
