A young Vernon duo91裸聊视频檚 new coffee roasting business is now pumping fresh product into local caf茅s and grocery stores.

Multiply Coffee is a months-old business venture by Robin Konjer and Landon Zabolotniuk. Aged 30 and 29, respectively, the two attribute the success they91裸聊视频檝e had starting up to a happy marriage between their rather divergent passions and skillsets.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 more of a numbers type of person; he91裸聊视频檚 more the coffee snob 91裸聊视频� in a good way,91裸聊视频� Konjer told the Morning Star.

The two are making ample use of their brand-new, 1,500-pound coffee roaster 91裸聊视频� called a Bellwether, named after the company that first popularized this sort of roaster in California.

That91裸聊视频檚 because California has environmental regulations on many products and services, including coffee roasting, and the Bellwether is specially designed to produce zero emissions.

91裸聊视频淚t just hooks up to 220 electrical and that91裸聊视频檚 it; there91裸聊视频檚 no gas lines, no venting, nothing like that,91裸聊视频� Zabolotniuk said. 91裸聊视频淭he air that actually comes out of it is cleaner than the air that goes in.91裸聊视频�

Using locally sourced packaging that91裸聊视频檚 fully biodegradable, Multiply Coffee supplies local stores with coffee brewed the same day of delivery 91裸聊视频� for a much-improved taste from regular store-bought, as Zabolotniuk promises.

91裸聊视频淭he majority of the coffee on the grocery store shelf is stale, and people are actually just used to that.91裸聊视频�

Konjer is fresh off a management position at Value Village and says the freedom he was given in that role played a huge part in preparing him for his new passion project.

91裸聊视频淚 got to reimagine things and they gave me a lot of trust there,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淏ut I think doing a startup is kind of combining all my passions, really.91裸聊视频�

Zabolotniuk has been in a coffee mindset for much longer, having started roasting as a hobby six years ago. Eventually, he walked into Triumph Coffee in downtown Vernon with a sample brew and a business offer.

91裸聊视频淭hey said sure, we91裸聊视频檒l serve your coffee.91裸聊视频�

Zabolotniuk said from the beginning, he knew he wanted coffee to become more than just a hobby. To take things beyond a bi-weekly offering at Triumph, he recruited Multiply91裸聊视频檚 other half.

91裸聊视频淚 realized that if I can do it I need some serious help, so then I reached out to Robin.91裸聊视频�

The two spent the early months of the pandemic going for walks together, talking about the things going on in the world that were making them think differently about business and their lives in general.

91裸聊视频淭hat really grew our friendship and our trust in one another,91裸聊视频� Konjer said.

As of January, they91裸聊视频檝e expanded the business to supply a growing list of clients that currently includes Triumph, Ratio Coffee & Pastry, Butcher Boys, IGA and Armstrong Askews.

More recently they partnered up with Armstrong91裸聊视频檚 Wild Oak Caf茅, which reopened under new ownership on March 4.
