Why We Ask
For the past few weeks we have been asking, "What will you kultivate?" Many have wondered why we have been so direct. Why would be asking everyone personally, when we are making a product. Why would we ask more of the participant, the consumer? Fresh Kaufee means exactly what it says--it is a cup of fresh coffee, a sip of clarity. It is the first moment in your day when the gears start turning. Everyone knows the smell, the taste, the sound of a spoon clanking against porcelain, your fingers wrapping through the handle and the warmth against your palm as it clings around the mug. You look around, and you see the world in stillness. There is a floating moment between sips as you wake up, rejuvenate, or continue late into the night.
Fresh Kaufee desires to be the moments between sips, the point where all senses come together and wake the sleeping creative. From the designs to the experiences, we wish to inspire you throughout the day. To kultivate this, we must have our own inspirations, our own sips of coffee to wake up our ideas. You are our inspiration. You are the other side of conversations. Your words ignite the entire process. Your frustrations and concerns about community, consumption, the everyday man’s ability to enjoy. Those are the reasons we focus on the hand crafted, the art one can bring everywhere. The art you wear. If we are to ask you to consume, we only feel right if we ask you to create—to be a part of the conversation, the experience, the process, the inspiration. You are the reason we design, sip coffee late into the night, and build the environments we do. W.A.K.E. is the introduction of Fresh Kaufee as a lifestyle brand. A brand we can only ask you to integrate into your life, because we wish for you to bring yourself, experiences, conversations and life as a craftsman to the table—to sit and wrap your hands around the mug and collaborate with us.
Fresh Kaufee cultivates because of you and the deep admiration we have for you as you act as our own constant fuel. In fact, you are the ones who began the conversation that awakened our sleeping creative, you are our fresh kaufee. As we move forward, we feel it is only appropriate to reply to you with the House Blend batch, the experience of W.A.K.E. And with this reply, we ask you now, what will you kultivate?
