MEET AIDAN & NAMI

We’re Aidan and Nami, a guy from Boston and his Blue Heeler rescue with a big love for coffee and an even bigger love for dogs. I first discovered Blue Dog Coffee as a customer, drawn to its mission of turning every cup into a way to help dogs in need. Over time, I watched that mission slip away under a secondary owner, and it didn’t sit right with me.

So I took a leap and bought the brand, determined to bring its heart back. Today, every bag we roast once again helps provide food, shelter, and care for dogs who deserve a second chance, just like Nami once did.

Nami is 16 months old, full of energy, and happiest with a ball in her mouth, a lake to swim in, and the freedom of the outdoors. She’s more than just a pet, she’s my constant companion and the reminder of why our mission matters. Together, we’re making sure Blue Dog Coffee stays true to its name: great coffee that does good for dogs.

WHY BLUE DOG COFFEE?

Heelers, known for their striking mottled coats, strong build, and boundless energy are classified by their coloring (blue or red) under the breed of Australian Cattle Dog. A mix of Australian dingo, blue-merle collies, Dalmatian and Kelpie, they were bred for the harsh Australian landscape to be highly trainable, fiercely loyal, and protective of their people. Their sharp instincts, problem-solving ability, and natural herding drive make them invaluable on farms, while their affectionate nature and devotion to their owners have earned them a place as beloved family pets—provided they get plenty of mental stimulation, physical exercise, and a job to do.

We aren't just another coffee company, we are a family who cares about making a difference for those who have nowhere else to turn. Sniff and sip on your daily ritual, as you do everything in your power to outsmart and tucker out your furry friend, while still relaxing knowing you've already done something good to start your day. Like our coffee, these dogs are hard-hitting and give back a heavy dose of warm love to help you take on even the toughest of challenges life may throw your way. (Side effects include heavy judgmental stares and a sass you thought only a teenager could provide.)
