And where is that [place] even?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That interest fueled Nanelle\u2019s long-time dream of starting her own coffee bar.

In fact, he says he thought coffee was \u201cdisgusting.\u201d So, instead, they planned to open a coffee and wine bar, where Andy could focus on the wines while Nanelle headed up the coffee side of the house.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andy finally had his coffee aha moment at the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.specialtyfood.com\/fancy-food-shows\/\">Fancy Food Show<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in San Francisco.

I\u2019m done.\u2019\u201d As he headed to the wine pavilion, one last coffee vendor caught his attention and convinced Andy to try his espresso. Andy says that one cup transformed his entire view of coffee\u2014the taste literally stopped him in his tracks. He recalls, \u201cI shouted at the top of my lungs, out loud, \u2018Oh my God, I have to be the one that makes this!\u2019\u2026From that moment on, I was done.

At Torque, they\u2019ve embraced their unique interests and strengths, a balance that benefits their business. Nanelle explains, \u201cHe\u2019s the frontman of this band. I\u2019m more the bass player. I like the background stuff, forming structures, production, teambuilding, and he does the front stage\u2026, sales, marketing, messaging, brand evangelism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/u3coffee.com\/product\/torque-dark-drop\/\">Find Torque Coffee\u2019s Dark Drop blend in the U3 Exchange!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two h4\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">What Fuels Nanelle and Andy&#8217;s Work<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12\"><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Nanelle and Andy started Torque Coffee in 2022, they had a key goal in mind\u2014finding a transparent way to ensure their pricing supported greater equity across the coffee value chain. They\u2019d started mapping out that work at Barefoot, but Torque offered an opportunity to put this tenet at the center of their business model. Nanelle and Andy realized that, in many cases, the system became opaque and complicated and often didn\u2019t capture all the nuances of the market, which made it challenging to share with consumers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andy had the idea to base their pricing model around a simple ratio\u2014producers received 20% of consumer price of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torque.coffee\/pages\/proportional-pricing\">each bag of coffee<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torque.coffee\/pages\/our-story\">Proportional Pricing<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> model is their effort to establish equity in the coffee value chain. The goal was to make it as simple and clear-cut as possible while still having a tangible impact.

While discussing a pile of green coffee, Andy commented that it didn\u2019t look like the high-quality coffee he was used to seeing. Edwin Martinez (of Finca Vista Hermos<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/finca.vistahermosahavana\/\">a<\/a>) replied, \u201cEvery coffee has a home.\u201d Andy took that motto to heart in reshaping his understanding of coffee. While specialty roasters and third-wave coffee consumers might be focused on the highest quality green coffees, there was still a place for, and value in, every coffee yield, whether or not it was objectively \u201cperfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-7 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two h4\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">How Nanelle and Andy Cultivate Community through Coffee<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-14\"><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nanelle and Andy say that the magic of coffee, at every stage, is the people. Andy learned this lesson early on in his coffee journey, when he optimistically entered the Western Regional Barista Championship. In spite of the fact that he was working with one of the best coffees, he couldn\u2019t get his espresso right in the heat of competition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as he was about to give up, another barista, Bronwen Serna, offered to help him troubleshoot the equipment. Andy recalls, \u201cShe didn\u2019t do anything that I could see\u2014no adjustments, no machine changes,\u201d but somehow, she managed to solve the problem. Andy says, \u201cI realized that it was the hands that craft the drink that made the difference\u2026So it reinforced that it\u2019s really hard to make it good, that it takes technique, but it also takes people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019ve carried that lesson forward in all of their coffee ventures, including Torque. Andy explains, \u201cWe\u2019re not really looking for coffees, like, we\u2019re not hunting for cool, rare coffees. We\u2019re basically hunting for amazing coffee people who want to make amazing coffee.\u201d Nanelle says they both understand that the two things go hand in hand: \u201cWell, great products come from great people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-8 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three h5\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Where You Can Find Nanelle and Andy<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-15\"><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Torque Coffee: <a href=\"https:\/\/torque.coffee\/\">https:\/\/torque.coffee<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/torquecoffees\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/torquecoffees<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TorqueCoffees\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TorqueCoffees<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/u3coffee.com\/\"><em>U3 Coffee<\/em><\/a><em> exists to create the most meaningful coffee experience for millions of mindful, motivated humans like you.
