Vinculo Coffee Roasters has just made it easier to have a single cup of its coffee.
This Memphis-based coffee company launched its new K-Cup packaging earlier this week, becoming the first local roaster to do so.

Since founding Vinculo last year, Andrew Banker has built direct connections with coffee growers throughout the world.
“We direct source from farmers in Mexico, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Nicaragua,” Banker said. “We have traveled to these farms and have built relationships with the farmers. We have seen firsthand how direct sourcing can have a positive impact on communities.”
Banker said each single-serve K-cup is carefully handcrafted in limited quantities, allowing Vinculo to achieve the same freshness, quality and precision on which the brand was built.
