Spotlight on Big House Beans: The Story Behind Your Coffee

Big House Beans isn't just about coffee—it's a movement for transformation and opportunity. Founded by John Krause, a former San Quentin inmate, the roastery's mission goes beyond crafting exceptional coffee. After a life-changing spiritual experience, Krause turned his focus to giving back, using Big House Beans as a platform to provide second chances. The company creates jobs for ex-offenders, supports rehabilitation programs, and promotes community empowerment.

Their ethically sourced beans hail from coffee-growing regions like Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala, ensuring every cup is rich in flavor and sustainability. Big House Beans also dedicates a portion of its profits to funding these outreach efforts, proving that coffee can fuel not just mornings, but meaningful change.

Water Lily Coffee is proud to partner with Big House Beans, sharing their story and commitment to community through every cup we serve. Their focus on quality and impact resonates with our mission to blend mindfulness, wellness, and sustainability in every sip.
