About Catholic Coffee
Coffee can be so much more than caffeine in a cup—so why not combine prayer, mission, & delicious coffee?

Catholic Coffee is more than a morning ritual—it’s a mission.
We’re a small, faithful family business serving something much greater than coffee. Catholic Coffee was founded by James and Whitney Hetzel, a devoted Catholic couple raising their family of nine children in the heart of the Church. With three sons currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, the Hetzels carry a profound love for both the Faith and those who protect it.
What began as a simple desire—to craft coffee that honors the beauty and depth of Catholic tradition—has become a growing mission grounded in prayer, service, and the Eucharist.
Rooted in Faith. Built on Mission.
We believe that how we roast, what we roast, and why we roast should glorify God.
Each of our roasts is named after a saint or sacred devotion, inviting you to begin your day not just with caffeine, but with prayerful intention. Every bag is more than a product—it’s a conversation with Heaven. We invite our customers to submit their prayer intentions, and we bring those to our daily prayer as a team.
And every order goes beyond the cup. We tithe from each purchase to support the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA—a cause close to our hearts. One of our dear family friends, Bishop Joseph Coffey, serves within this Archdiocese, and we are honored to assist in their mission of pastoral care for active-duty military and their families around the world.
High Standards. Holy Purpose.
We don’t just care about what’s in your cup—we care how it got there.
Our beans are certified as “Specialty Coffee” by the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association), meaning they meet the highest standards of quality and flavor. But just as important, our sourcing follows the principles of Catholic social teaching: ethical labor, care for creation, and human dignity.
Once sourced, our beans are 100% American-roasted—fresh, in small batches, and handled with care at every stage. From harvest to packaging, everything we do reflects a commitment to excellence and virtue.
Something for Every Soul
From bold dark roasts to smooth light blends, we offer something for every Catholic coffee drinker. Whether you’re starting your day with the St. Joseph Roast, sipping an afternoon Our Lady of Guadalupe blend, or gifting a loved one a sampler box, every product is crafted with purpose.
We also offer subscriptions, gift sets, and seasonal roasts—each created to inspire devotion, encourage reflection, and keep Christ at the center of daily life.
Join Us Around the Table
In a world that often rushes past the sacred, Catholic Coffee invites you to slow down, reflect, and reclaim the sacred rhythms of everyday life. Whether you’re sipping at home before the school run, brewing a pot after Mass, or sending a gift to someone in need of comfort—we’re honored to be part of your spiritual and daily journey.
From our family to yours, thank you for being here.
Together, we’re supporting our troops, uplifting our Church, and storming heaven with every cup.
