AUTOKAFFE is an automotive coffee lifestyle brand built around early morning drives, parking lot conversations, bold espresso, and the people who keep car culture alive.

Founding Batch
E85 Espresso is a whole bean coffee roast inspired by the fuel that powered many of the cars JR built and enjoyed over the years.
It is being developed for the kind of coffee AUTOKAFFE is built around: bold, smooth, low acidity, and made for iced Americanos, early commutes, and weekend drives.
No preorder yet. No money taken. Just first access when the roast is finalized and the first batch is ready.

Founder’s Note
I've loved cars for as long as I can remember.
Like a lot of people, it started with Hondas. Late nights in the garage, learning as I went, building cars with friends, and finding any excuse to go for a drive. From single cams to K-swaps, cars were always more than transportation to me.
A few years later, coffee became part of the routine.
Working as a BMW technician meant early mornings and long days. During my commute into BMW of Manhattan, grabbing a coffee became something I looked forward to. Over time, it became just as much a part of my day as the drive itself.
Somewhere along the way, the two became connected.
My favorite moments were never really about horsepower numbers or the coffee itself. It was the early morning drives. The conversations in parking lots. Meeting people who shared the same passion.
That's where AUTOKAFFE comes from.
I'm a BMW Master Technician, a car enthusiast, a coffee enthusiast, and someone trying to build something that brings those worlds together.
The long-term vision is a car enthusiast café. A place where people can grab a coffee, talk cars, and feel at home.
For now, the journey starts with E85 Espresso, a coffee roast inspired by the fuel that powered many of the cars I built and enjoyed over the years.
AUTOKAFFE is simple. Cars × Coffee × Lifestyle.
Between engines and espressos, peace was found.
