The conception of the Coffee Sock Company

by Jason (aka Coffee Sock Man)

The Coffee Sock and I first crossed paths while I was doing some volunteer work in East Timor (official name Timor-Leste).  East Timor is an amazing place and if you haven’t heard of it you can find out more HERE.

I remember before setting out on my journey to East Timor I was a little anxious about how I would feed my coffee addition.  I packed a plunger in my luggage, but when I arrived I opened by bag to discover the glass smashed!  Boo coffee plunger.

Hearing of my crisis one of my new friends swiftly introduced me to the cotton coffee sock.  I must admit at first I had my doubts;

-          Would it taste like cotton?

-          It looks dirty!

-          Is it hygienic?

But I tasted the coffee and it was good.  Really good!

So I quickly went out and purchased my very first coffee sock.  Yes it did look dirty after a few uses but that is just the coffee oils staining the cotton.  Now it has been over 3 years and not a day goes by when I don’t use my Coffee Sock at least 3 times a day!
