About Us

My name is Brian Grider, my friends and coworkers call me “G-Ride”, I’ve been an Air Traffic Controller for over 27 years. I proudly served 7 years in the US Navy and 20 years in the FAA as a NATCA member. 

This company was created to share my love and enjoyment of coffee with my brother and sister controllers as well as other aviation professionals that we share a bond with daily.

We all work an unmerciful schedule that is physically and mentally demanding. Coffee is our number 1 “go to” beverage. We owe it to ourselves to enjoy premium freshly roasted specialty grade coffee. A wise old controller once told me, “nobody makes it through their career on their own”. These varieties are offered to honor the women and men who have helped me get through mine. Thank you all for the work you do! 

I came here to drink coffee and work traffic…enjoy!
