Our Philosophy

Good coffee satisfies the soul and the senses. Founders David Myers and Jim Levinsohn, friends for over 25 years, began Mighty Good Coffee in 2006, combining what they love most: family traditions, artisanal craft processes, building local community, and fantastic coffee. Mike Huget, another long time Ann Arbor friend joined the partnership in 2021.

Starting with beans from select farms, mills, and co-ops (yes, we visit!), we roast in small batches and package quickly to preserve freshness. We pour our passion into every roast, every bag, every day. We think you’ll agree— it’s Mighty Good!
 

Community Involvement

Being actively involved in our community is an important priority of our business. Over the years, we’ve contributed to a variety of projects, events, and grass roots causes. We have partnered with the Huron River Watershed Council, The Ann Arbor YMCA, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Dawn Farm, Ozone House, Neutral Zone and the U of M Collegiate Recovery Program. We have made countless donations to grade schools and local non-profits, such as The Jim Toy Community Center, Breakfast at St. Andrews, and We The People Opportunity Farm, to name a few. We accept requests for donations and sponsorships by e-mail: wholesale (at) mightygoodcoffee (dot) com.

 Founder David Myers has been deeply involved in the coffee roasting community since starting the company in 2006. He has taught widely at coffee events in the US and Europe and had helped develop the roasting curriculum for roasters from a variety of backgrounds. He has served on the Coffee Roasters Guild (formerly Roasters Guild USA), an international body representing roasters around the world, for the past 10 years. He is currently the Chair of the CRG Leadership Council and in 2023 will serve a term on the board of the Specialty Coffee Association.

David is also the lead educator for Probat-Burns USA, the worlds largest manufacturer of roasting equipment.
