Las Palmas #2

Jack Ryan, an Irishman who spent fifteen years working humanitarian and environmental campaigns with Greenpeace and the United Nations Refugee Agency, launched Muttley & Jack's in 2017 from the island of Rindö in the Stockholm Archipelago. The name honors Jack and his Boston Terrier, Muttley. After training at the Dublin School of Coffee and the Probat factory, and placing second in the Swedish Coffee Roasting Championship that same year, he channeled a former career as a chef into a roasting philosophy grounded in trusting your own palate. The operation centers on microlots and nanolots scoring 87 to 90 on the SCA scale, hand roasted to order and shipped within 24 hours. Sourcing partnerships prioritize direct relationships, and farmers receive between 200 and 400 percent above the commodity market price. The entire model runs on subscriptions, a format Jack built from scratch starting with just fifteen members on his very first roast.
