About Us

Wake Up for a Cause.


Cocaine Coffee was born from one bold idea:

What if the world’s most powerful cup could change lives — not destroy them?

Founded by Ryan Bumgarner, Cocaine Coffee isn’t just another caffeine brand. It’s a movement to flip the narrative on Colombia’s most infamous export — by replacing coca cultivation with coffee cultivation.

Inspired by the Cocaine for Coffee movement, we champion the shift from coca cultivation to high-quality Colombian coffee. While our foundation is in development, we already source our beans exclusively from farms that have transitioned away from coca. As we grow, we plan to partner directly with these families—working alongside our suppliers and local communities in Colombia—to expand sustainable, legal, and profitable coffee production. Every bag you buy helps fuel this movement and supports a future built on good energy.

Our Head of Coffee, Yulia Bumgarner, leads sourcing and quality — carefully selecting each coffee and working closely with our partners to ensure every roast delivers authentic Colombian excellence.

Doug Steidl, our Co-Founder, drives the cultural backbone of Cocaine Coffee — pushing the brand to be fearless, unapologetic, and unforgettable.

A Deeper Purpose

At the heart of Cocaine Coffee is a belief that transformation is possible — in people, in communities, and in the land itself.

Our mission goes far beyond roasting exceptional coffee; it’s about rewriting a story once defined by pain and addiction into one of hope and renewal.


We source exclusively from Colombian farms that have moved away from coca and committed to growing exceptional coffee. These families are rewriting their future, and as our foundation launches, we intend to stand beside them more directly—supporting sustainable livelihoods rooted in pride, purpose, and possibility. Every bag you brew contributes to this transformation, helping turn struggle into strength and opportunity into growth.

This isn’t just coffee. It’s proof that something once destructive can be reborn into something deeply good.
