Over in New Jersey. It was a beautiful day
for a cup of Joe come with me as we
take in the intoxicating aromas of different beans at and
blends at WB Lock coffee. Our crews got to
catch up with the family behind the local gem.
So the company started back in a barn behind the
house in Dunellen. My father in law and his
brothers uh worked for for their dad. My father
in law's brothers uh were killed during world war two
. So when my father in law came back,
he was the sole remaining son and Warren law joined
his father taking the coffee company from a barn to
the bustling streets of Newark. We can find our
coffee at a variety of different types of convenience stores
and we have a number of restaurants, cafes,
banquet halls throughout the area. Mm Like a really
nice Costa Rican coffee or even something very acidic like
a Kenyan Aa coffee or like coffee chefs. If
we're sitting there, we're able to make different types
of blends and roast profiles. Ceo David Mendez spilled
the beans on how they mix grind and package their
java. Mm It smells so good in here.
So we'll take all these bags of coffee and then
we'll dump them into the entire production line starting right
here. And then from here it goes to our
different mixers and hoppers. Then it's over to the
grinder. Never press the red button up to the
elevator down the tube to the hopper into the auger
which is then getting dumped into the bags that this
coffee machine is making, making a couple ofÂŁ1000
of coffee every hour. Coffee employee Eddie Mills has
been blending since 1967. Most of all my life
and I watched the place grow, the owners,
you know, they're more like family and it's family
that keeps this business going built on caffeine and steeped
in love. It's absolutely special. You know,
I honestly couldn't imagine this place without him. Um
I'm just happy that, uh, you know,
it's still in the family.
