Our Story
🌲 Our Story
Forest Edge Coffee was built on a simple idea:
make exceptional specialty coffee for those who value craftsmanship, intention, and time well spent.
This isn’t about trends or chasing the next thing.
It’s about doing things the right way—slowly, deliberately, and with purpose.
Where It Comes From
The idea for Forest Edge Coffee didn’t start in a boardroom.
It started in the woods—early mornings, campfires, and quiet moments before the day begins.
Coffee has always been part of that rhythm. Not rushed. Not automatic.
Something to be prepared, shared, and appreciated.
That same mindset is what shaped Forest Edge Coffee—a brand rooted in the outdoors and built around delivering high-quality whole bean coffee for both everyday brewing and time spent in the field.
What We Believe
We believe great coffee should be:
- Consistent — dependable flavor, bag after bag
- Ethically sourced — built on respect for the farms and communities that grow it
- Expertly roasted — developed with precision and intention
- Simple — no unnecessary complexity, just a great cup of coffee
Every roast we offer reflects those principles.
How It’s Made
We partner with experienced roasters who share our commitment to quality, responsibility, and craft.
Together, we source specialty coffee beans from small farms around the world—selecting them at peak harvest and roasting them to deliver a consistent flavor profile year-round.
While origins may rotate seasonally, the experience remains the same:
a dependable, well-balanced cup whether you’re brewing at home or outdoors.
The Founder
Forest Edge Coffee was founded by Dominick Briganti, a lifelong professional in Fire/Rescue, Urban Search & Rescue, and austere training environments—and the owner of DVI Bushcraft & Survival.
Through decades of working, teaching, and operating in demanding environments, one thing remained constant:
coffee wasn’t just a luxury—it was part of the routine, part of the reset, and part of staying sharp.
Before launching Forest Edge Coffee, Dominick owned and operated a specialty coffee shop in Dunedin, Florida for five years. During that time, it was recognized as one of the Top 100 Places to Eat & Drink in the United States, a reflection of both quality and commitment to craft.
Forest Edge Coffee brings those two worlds together:
the precision and standards of specialty coffee, and the simplicity and reliability required in the outdoors.
Why It Matters
In a world that moves fast, coffee has become something rushed—just another step in the day.
We believe it should be the opposite.
A moment to slow down.
To reset.
To start the day with intention.
Whether it’s a pour-over at home or a cup brewed over a campfire, the goal is the same:
deliver a reliable, high-quality coffee experience without compromise.
At the Forest Edge
Forest Edge Coffee is built for both everyday life and time spent outside.
From whole bean specialty coffee to field-ready tins designed for the trail, everything we produce is made with the same focus—quality, consistency, and purpose.
Not complicated.
Not overdone.
Just good coffee—made the way it should be.
Brew slow. Step outside.
This is coffee at the forest edge. 🌲☕
