When his nephew, Dean D. Becharas, took over the reins completely in the late 70’s, we saw the relationships he developed blossom. Through Dean’s efforts, we proudly became one of the primary suppliers of coffee to the United States Armed Forces throughout the world from 1954 through 2002. Additionally, under his leadership we were able to include the Big Boy Restaurants throughout the country as one of our premier accounts. Built in 1966, this plant remains one of the most unique coffee processing plants in the nation. Our system is capable of fulfilling large volume requirements while still giving quality the number one priority. It was his vision that made it possible to fulfill the needs of high-volume customers efficiently and effectively.

With the fourth generation now entering the business, there are many new exciting prospects on the horizon. By utilizing ecommerce, we are targeting a much broader consumer market with our unique brand of products. The success enjoyed by each of these four generations reflects the dedication and commitment to upholding the family’s values originally set down by Nick and George Becharas. Over the years, many things have changed. Roasters and people have come and gone. As Detroit’s last institutional coffee manufacturer, our commitment to excellence never will. Trust in our family’s traditions.
