Drinking coffee used to be considered a minor act of rebellion in the 17th century, and many coffee shops became hotspots for caffeine-fueled-debates. These "Penny Universities," where customers from all walks of life could pay a penny for a bottomless cup of coffee, became icons of a revolutionary counter culture.

Founded in 2013 by Amber Arthur and Bill Tanner, PennyCup Coffee specializes in sustainably sourced coffee roasted to perfection. PennyCup is committed to artfully curated selections, bringing new and exciting flavors to the Southeast and across the US. Located in the heart of the River Arts District of Asheville, NC, PennyCup Coffee is a small-batch roaster committed to ethically sourced coffee roasted with care, with a goal to have great relationships with the small farms and farmers.

This rebellious and "all-comers" ethos is what has inspired and remains at the heart of PennyCup. Coffee for everyone, coffee for all!
