Clever, hand-drawn & unique illustrations have always been Paul Contreras's signature style. Chances are you've come across his work and not even realize it.  Brew Sleep Draw is a coffee love letter. His traditional tattoo art is behind the branding of some of your favorite coffee shops & roasters. One of my faves of course being Andrew Sinclair's, MadLab Coffee in Los Angeles. 

From his home studio in Lemore, CA, he finds coffee inspiration everywhere, especially his family home life. Lucky for us his page has no shortage of featured roasters, equipment & coffee shops to choose from. Brew Sleep Draw was one of our first featured vendors when Sipp Curated Goods launched in 2015 (whoa!) So naturally we've come full circle with one of my favorite designs he's ever done. Custom leather coasters in six collectable & colorful colors with what else - coffee! 

You can find these on our site & Brew Sleep Draw - check 'em out! 

        

Clint & Antoinette are the husband & wife team behind the brand Abracadabra Coffee Co. from Cavendish, Vermont. We admire their dedication to sustainability, quality, & their genuine love for roasting amazing coffee. Damn. Fine. Coffee. Our chosen selection, Costa Rica Don Pepe has notes of Milk Chocolate, Caramel, Almond, Brown Sugar & is sure to make a delicious pairing with our espresso set. We're so happy to share our favorite coffee with all of you. Hope you love this limited edition set! 

When I started working on Sipp Curated Goods, one of the goals I wrote down for the shop was to feature local roasters alongside the unique selection of coffee goods. I'll leave selling coffee to the pros, but rather share small offerings to you, my customers. Small tokens of gratitude that I'm personally enjoying at home. Brewing coffee at home is such an important part of my day & I love sharing that experience with you all. Discovering new roasters & seeing how many of you brew coffee is a fascinating thing. So let's take this further...

I came across Arcade Coffee Roasters from Ally Garvin, the sweet owner of Neat Coffee in Costa Mesa. She recently introduced them to her shop & I quickly found myself reading about their coffee journey. When she came down for an LA pop-up, I quickly snagged a bag & couldn't wait to brew it. I immediately connected with owners, Shane + Stevie's appreciation of coffee & community. 

I'm so excited to share their 3rd St. Blend, a nod to their pop-up shop in Riverside, to anyone who purchases any of Brian Giniewski's work from the shop. It's a thank you from me & hopefully as a customer, a lasting connection with Arcade. 

I would love this to be an ongoing thing, so roasters let's work together. I can't wait to see who's next!

It's only been a few days, but I was blown away by the support of everyone I know personally & through social media about Sipp Curated Goods. I've had so much fun fulfilling orders & packing them up to go out to their new homes. Especially in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I hope everyone has a happy holiday, a piece of pie, & coffee of course! - Monica 

My love for coffee culture hasn’t wavered & I've been quietly working on a pet project, Sipp Curated Goods. A place where I could selfishly curate my favorite coffee related gifts, goodies, & art.

In the last few years, coffee culture has grown into a full force of talented people & community driven by the same love of one drink. Its crazy. 

I never thought about how much that ritual gets my day going. My day doesn’t start without it. Then one day it hit me, “I really love this hobby”. My day job consists of making things beautiful & searching for cool, beautiful pieces. So this was just a natural progression. A small place of my own where I could be creative & share the humor & creativity that this small drink brings out in folks. Here we go, ready or not…
