Roasted And Packaged For Bule Collar Workers, By Blue Collar Workers

It started early.
Long days in a train car manufacturing plant—steel, sparks, heat, noise.
Work that demanded grit and showing up no matter what.
Coffee wasn’t optional. It was survival.

That work led to automotive repair.
Then HVAC service—hot attics, freezing rooftops, middle-of-the-night calls when systems failed and families needed help now.

Along the way, 

My beautiful wife worked nearly nineteen years on the line in an automotive interior plant.
Repetitive work. Tight tolerances. Early mornings. Late nights.
The kind of work that builds resilience and doesn’t get enough credit.

At that time, I was building custom fireplaces… and then construction and remodeling—my wife and I owning responsibility from the ground up.
Permits. Inspections. Crews. Deadlines.

Through every chapter, one thing stayed constant.

Coffee made it all happen.

Not fancy café coffee.
Not trendy flavors.

Just strong, smooth, dependable coffee—
built for early mornings and long days.

Pine & Steel Coffee Company.
And yeah… it’s damn good coffee.
