Welcome to Sprudge.com, your daily source of coffee news, rumor, innuendo and intrigue. Started in 2009 by longtime friends Zachary Carlsen and Jordan Michelman, Sprudge seeks to be an ever-expanding clearinghouse of international coffee culture, a crossroads for the coffee-minded, and a rumpus room for coffee professionals this world over. Our singular goal is to make coffee news more relevant and easily accessible to the public. We’ve done this by offering breaking news, original content, and coverage of the biggest stories and events in coffee, all together in perfect harmony on one centralized, easy to read website. We’re a place where insiders and outsiders, newcomers and old timers, coffee pros and geeks alike can go to instantly find all the relevant coffee news of the day…served up alongside hunks, schmucks, and silly photoshops.

We want to be a part of your daily routine, your new favorite cafe conversation starter, something you can laugh about with your fellow baristas and erstwhile coffee comrades. We’re Sprudge.com – The Internet’s Only Coffee Website.
