Proud Mary Coffee

Curator's Notes

The specialty coffee wonder from down under! I still remember how excited I was when Australia-based Proud Mary opened their first U.S. café in Portland back in 2017. And today? I’m even more excited... because now they’re on Bean Box! Proud Mary has been doing things their own way since 2009, and I mean that in the best possible sense. They’ve built a reputation as one of the most original and unforgettable voices in specialty coffee, with long-standing, deeply collaborative relationships with producers around the world. Their cafes, in both Portland and Austin, are bright, culinary playgrounds that celebrate just how fun and delicious coffee can be. And don’t even get me started on their signature tins: compact, colorful, and packed with absolute gems, including plenty of Cup of Excellence winners. I met their founder, Nolan, while we were both on jury duty (the fun kind!) for Cup of Excellence. His passion, personality, and coffee knowledge were next-level, and it shows in every cup Proud Mary puts out. Proud Mary keep on roasting – and we’ll keep on drinking!
