Entrepreneur Blend by Dillanos is Coveted by Peachy Deegan Who Has Claimed it As One of Her All-Time Favorite Coffee Blends! Bravo Dillanos!
To really start the day off right, you need to begin with a spectacular cup of coffee. And of course, if you strive for the best then you will certainly grind your own coffee beans. That way I get the freshest cup possible. Dillanos Coffee fits right into my life in the sense that it is company that cares about the world and produces organic coffee. Many would agree nothing could be better, at least it makes for great cocktail party conversation. Love the brand but even love this particular bean under the Entrepreneur name. This blend seems spicier and stronger than their signature Dillon’s type. Medium dark roast which gives me a little extra kick this morning. So the stand-out coffee brand of the year is definitely Dillanos Coffee. And Entrepreneur is definably my favorite of the lot.
Who knew back in 1992 when an espresso cart opened in front of Howard Heyer's convenience store in Buckley, Washington, that Dillanos would end up being as big as it is today? What started as a three person operation (a dad and his two sons) is today an operation that employs more than 65! Their mission has remained the same, "Help people, Make friends, Have fun!" Dillano's "Entrepreneur Blend" is a wonderful, all-purpose coffee. With beans from Columbia and Central America, this is a great medium dark blend. This blend has hints of clove and spice and is great for an afternoon pick-me-up (not that I ever need that!). Named Roaster of the Year in 2011 by Roast magazine, Dillanos is delicious! I highly recommend their beans to any coffee lover.
What can I say about the Entrepreneur? This has to be one of the best coffees I've ever had. It had a crisp taste that had a hint of spice to it. I preferred this coffee as a stand alone coffee rather than pairing it with a specific food. I could just sip on this coffee all morning and wish the cup to never end. I know several friends of mine would love this coffee and I can't wait to share it with them. If you know of anyone who loves coffee, this is the coffee for them. I highly recommend it.
Dillanos Entrepreneur Coffee gives you a good kick start to your day. This delicious cup of coffee stands no chance to any other coffees. I love the way the aroma fills my kitchen in the morning. I love waking up to not only the taste of this brew but also the aroma. It is a really bold and unique coffee that gets your tongue dancing. For any coffee lover they will know a great cup like this stands no chance against the other regular brews. Also I would suggest bringing this as a gift to brunch! This is simply delicious!

Entrepreneur
Developed for all-purpose use, this coffee offers a complexity of flavors that thrives in drip coffeemakers and press pots.
Be sure to watch this:
When we started roasting on a small 20-pound coffee roaster, two things were immediately apparent: roasting excellent coffee takes unwavering commitment, and it takes more than great coffee for retailers to thrive in a competitive business environment.
So, we immersed ourselves in the specialty coffee industry, learning how to source the best coffees from around the globe and meticulously roast them to their full potential. We also created an internal culture that valued fun, creativity, and integrity, seeking employees who believed in the culture as much as we did. We focused our energies on building meaningful, rewarding customer relationships, striving to give our customers more than they expected. As we near our 20th anniversary, we're proud to say that we still live by these same values every day.
Our award-winning coffee selection is headlined by our prized One Harvest Project, each purchased directly from a coffee cooperative or estate that shares our vision of producing exceptional coffee using responsible growing practices. Our employees go all out in everything they do. Our customer support extends well beyond coffee education and barista training to include strategic brand advice, marketing and design support, and innovative business tools, all centered on boosting a retailer's bottom line. At Dillanos, we believe we're all partners in the global coffee trade, and the entire industry prospers when we work together. Welcome to the world of Dillanos Coffee Roasters.Howard Heyer, Chairman; David Morris, CEO; Chris Heyer, President and COO
THE DILLANOS STORY
Dillanos opened as an espresso cart in 1992 in front of Howard Heyer's convenience store in Buckley, Washington. A partnership between Howard and his son David Morris, the cart was fueled by David's enthusiasm, Howard's business background, and a sincere desire to offer great coffee and great service. They named the business after David's newly born son Dillon.
David and Howard opened two more retail locations the following year, and made two other decisions that would shape the business for years to come. They invited David's brother Chris Heyer, who himself worked as an experienced barista, to join the family business, and they bought their first 20-pound coffee roaster to kick off Dillanos as a wholesale coffee roasting operation. It wasn't long before the brothers were soaking up information from coffee professionals throughout the country. They learned from the ground up what it takes to source high-quality green coffee, perfect nuanced roast profiles, and create balanced, smooth-tasting blends. They were passionate about the artistry of bringing out a coffee's inherent character with just a small nudge of time and temperature. They soon sold the retail stores and put all their energy into wholesale roasting at a new location in Sumner, Washington. As the family business continued to expand, Dillanos grew from a tiny three-person outfit to a nationally recognized roaster with more than 1,500 customers across the country. Today, Dillanos employs more than 65 enthusiastic staff members and roasts for some of the country's most recognized specialty coffee brands and cafes. In the face of all this exciting growth, the Dillanos mission statement remains the same: Help People, Make Friends, Have Fun!
