    I loved the segment on the ballet students. The sentiment of "I may not be able to change what is going on in your life, but I can walk with you" is so powerful! You hear on the news about all the troubles in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Here is a woman making a difference in her students' lives. Thank you, Angelino's, for your generous donation. I feel like I am a part of that donation, being a customer of yours.

    This was such a beautiful and touching video. I have been buying Angelino’s coffee for several years. I knew it was a family owned business, but to see a glimpse of the love between you and your father and your generous heart was truly uplifting. I also found it interesting to see how carefully the beans are picked (three times!) and processed. I’m looking forward to seeing future videos and learning more about the process from bean to what I take for granted in my cup every morning.

    I love Angelino's coffee and I really enjoyed seeing the "behind the scenes" stuff : the people involved, the beautiful landscapes and countryside, the family stories and the charitable work with Christine's school. My favorite part how Kirk sees the interconnectedness of people and the world through coffee, which is a cool way to think about it.

    I've been an Angelino's Coffee customer/consumer/connoisseur for years now. The attention to detail that Kirk and all of the employees at Angelino's put into their quality product and excellent customer service, is second to none. And after watching this video of how we are truly connected with our brothers and sisters around the world, sharing our love for coffee, I understand it just that much more. Thank you Kirk, and the wonderful folks at Angelino's for sharing this with us.

    Wow! This was so inspiring! One of the reasons I started purchasing Angelino's coffees was the fact that this company is family owned, supports other small business farmers & how they traveled the world looking for the best coffee beans. I mean I could go on & on but after seeing this video I am in awe of you! Love how your family truly cares about people & the passion you have for all things beautiful in life. You are truly a blessed man & love your father too (may he RIP). I felt so many emotions watching this video & even got goosebumps & shed a tear when ya'll donated $10,000 to Christine who has a non-profit ballet school. I feel there is hope & there is still good blessed people that are changing the world. I haven't been able to purchase Angelino's coffee for a few months now cause of our financial situation right now but surely do miss your coffee as soon as we get back on our feet I will be back on my subscription. Your video was so amazing & I truly enjoyed watching. I did subscribe & look forward to following you on your amazing journey!

    My husband is a lover of good quality coffee but as a Vietnam Veteran and 77 year old we have to budget and he wanted me to keep buying a major retail case of coffee but I saw your ad on website and I decided to place an order. Boy am I glad I did! But I insisted on him trying your coffee which was a bit over our budget but he loves it and I continue to order it for him. He’s my better half, a wonderful husband, a great step father to my son Joseph Bordonaro who lost his own father, my first husband. He do deserves the sweepstakes but if you’d ask him he would most likely say give it to someone else. He loves your coffee and that is his one pleasure in life. Keep up the great work in following in your fathers footsteps. Thank you!

    It did my heart and soul good to hear the Angelino's message of interconnectedness. My church community in Arizona works with local independent coffee farmers across our border. At various times we visited their family and community run coffee plantation and we have sponsored their visit to our community in Arizona as we have an evening of coffee and pastries and music and fellowship under the stars. We find we can take and give pleasure, hope, economic support and promote social justice while enjoying the fruits of others labor and build a tapestry of community across borders like the Angelino family. Peace and good, Kathleen

    Hands down the best coffee.
    It was recommended to me and I was given a couple k-cup pods to try.
    My husband said, "order a dark variety right now"!
    I ordered several boxes of coffee and several tea.
    Absolutely fabulous.
    Everyone we have shared it with is hooked. We now take turns ordering bulk orders to share.
    A strong cup of Moka Java mixed with a nice bourbon and a couple other ingredients make a very nice gravy like sauce for a smoked pork dish.
    Cook with your coffee. You won't be sorry.

How exciting you got to travel all over and see how we all connect over coffee. It's a worldwide enjoyment and the best way to meet new people and bring people together. I love the fresh coffee and absolutely love your French Roast and all the dark roasts. Cupping sessions are awesome, wish we did that we're I live. Keep up the bold, beautiful flavors. Congrats on your success, and I wish you the absolute best. Be well and God Bless.

    This is a wonderful and heartwarming story of one man and his dreams. Inspired by the love and connection he had with his Dad from a very early age. Kirk continued to follow those dreams even after his father had passed. The places he visited and the incredible, driven, people he met along the way, I found to be not only interesting but phenomenal in all the ultimate assistance that was given to all those coffee growers.
    I am new to Angelino’s coffee, and am so grateful to my friend who introduced me to it. Now each day while I enjoy my first cup, it will make me more aware of how much has gone into this entire process and how it started with the love and shared dreams of a young boy and his Dad. It doesn’t get any better than this.

    As a child, I went on a field trip to a coffee company. The cupping process there was very mechanical. Four or five men in suits, standing around a giant lazy susan. The cups rotate in and they Slurp. Spit. Write. Next cup. They didn't seem to enjoy the coffee at all. The cupping you did with Adrian was almost like a ritual that transported you to coffee heaven. Then... Miss Christina just took my breath away. That she can use her God given talent to change the lives of those lovely little girls, is incredibly beautiful. I can hardly wait to see where you go, and who you will meet, next.

    I've been a subscriber of Angelino's coffee for several years. I was first inspired by the promise of fresh coffee pods at a reasonable cost. Over the years, there have been a few (maybe 3 max) issues, but in every single case, the staff of Angelino's made things right and were always there to insure my subscription was fulfilled accurately and quickly. This video series is a testimony to the man (and family) behind one of the best coffee producers I have ever seen. I will continue to be a faithful subscriber and will be praying for the continued success of the entire company.

    For years I thought coffee was, well, "coffee". More recently I have been discovering the whole world of "coffees" (note the plural), and therefore really enjoyed starting this world tour of coffees. I have enjoyed our first order of Angelino's coffee and are now looking planning our next order. Thanks for this informative and beautiful story!

    What a beautiful country! I loved seeing coffee broken down to such a personal level; actual people behind my beloved beverage. The cupping was absolutely fascinating. Kirk's reflections and, of course, the ballet school, were inspirational. Makes me proud to be an Angelino's customer.

    I loved the whole story but the part that got me the most was what you did for Miss Christine and the children. Not enough people in the world helping the innocent. Children, elderly and animals all need taking care of. I admire Miss Christine for her determination to help these young children and I admire you all for noticing her hard work and what those children mean to her for you all to donate to her cause. I am truly sorry for the loss of your father💔. Your father would be VERY PROUD of the young business man you have become. Your coffee is out of this world remarkable. My mom and I aren't able to buy it as much as we would like due to finances(we are both on disability) but when we do purchase it we are ALWAYS very satisfied. God bless you all and your continued business success 🙏

    It's good that you treasure the gift you Dad was to you. We don't always realize that we carry those time with us because they've shaped us in marvelous ways and willpass down thru generations. We would ask our children as they went out with friends. "Who do you belong to?" They answered; " You and daddy and God." Now we ask our grandchildren, and they say Mommy and Daddy, Ma and Poppie, and God"They know where home is, that safe harbor as they go out like you're doing. Blessed travels to you.

I love the moment when you announced your generous donation to the Ballet's foundation, I love the intimate inserts about your dad, I love the scenery and culture! I thought about opening a coffee shop many years ago with the intent of exploring all the different coffee sources around the world and helping as many as I could but it didn't work out... I am so happy to see someone taking that dream and making it real and that I just happened to stumble into this beautiful venture and fall in love with your coffee just as this is coming to fruition is God!

    I have loved Antigua coffee for the last 30 years, when my roommates parents brought to home from the mission field as a special treat. One of the firsts coffees I ordered from Angelino’s was a Guatemalan coffee that had that marvelous flavor I associate with the coffee at Herb and Judy Billings’ breakfast table. Coffee, good coffee, makes and enriches memory.

And we continued because of the freshness, the quality and the variety. My favorite part (ok 2 parts) of the video are the cupping session, and the section on Christine’s ballet school.
