Three Keys Coffee

Thank you to @Verizon for telling our story! As an award-winning coffee company, quality is our top focus. In a recent customer pitch, our coffees came in 1, 2, AND 3 in the entire blind tasting. We swept the board. Certifications never guarantee business. We must still earn it.

Three Keys Coffee’s co-founder Kenzel Fallen learned to increase revenue and reduce employee turnover through @Verizon’s program. Learn more: verizon.com/about/news/ceo… 🏷️ @VerizonBusiness #SmallBusinessDigitalReady

He doesn’t understand the late night and weekends we spend working on the business, he just knows he always sees and hears “coffee”. Heartwarming moment seeing him recognize his own family’s company, Three Keys Coffee on the shelves of @wholefoods 🥹 #SmallBusiness #coffee

Read @ariellergordon's article, and learn how the owners at Three Keys Coffee went from a small setup in a communal kitchen to a 1500 square feet garage where production speed and employee experience are key factors in deciding a roasting schedule. 🔗  rebrand.ly/RoasteryBreakd…

Sometimes you gotta pop out and show ‘em 😏. Did you know we have not 1, not 2, but 3️⃣ Q-Graders on the Three Keys team? Wop wop wop. 🎺🎺🎺 #coffeeroaster #qgrader #qarabicagrader #coffeequality #tootyourownhorn

Three Keys Coffee is now available in @WholeFoods!!

Ayyeee!!

Hiring for 2 roles—1 PT barista + 1 marketing associate (not social media posts, I’m talking real strategy & implementation). Three Keys is not for everyone. Our standards are higher than El Debarge’s falsetto. If you don’t understand that reference, might not be a good fit.

@andrewklein3 We’ve sold over 55k bags through Trader Joe’s and rarely know who those customers are unless they directly interface with us. Thank you for sharing!

@ThreeKeysCoffee Found your coffee at Trader Joe’s in The Woodlands with a “local” tag. Led me to visit your shop downtown!

Who or what brought you to Three Keys? What about us made you interested enough to follow/purchase? We want to share the stories and content that most resonate with you. Coffee, music, awards…something else? 🤔 (actual co-founder asking btw 🙋🏽‍♀️, not a marketing bot)

Definitely gotta bring that flavor wheel back out. Folks done forgot lol

Y’all!! Go let my peoples know why TKC is THAT girl. Is it the style? The joyful spirit that you catch looking at the bag designs? The REIMAGINED FLAVOR WHEEL?

Top 2 finish out of 32 of the best coffee roasters in the country. Next stop: US Finals in Chicago!

"Each coffee has an inspired playlist that pairs with it," says Tio Fallen, MSE'07, who is combining engineering, music, and passion for roasting to make the perfect cup of coffee in downtown Houston. Tio and his wife, Kenzel Fallen, founded @ThreeKeysCoffee, which sells coffee beans and blends at retailers across the U.S. and has a cafe in Finn Hall in Houston. The duo started the business in 2019 and opened their stall in 2023. For the first few years, they were strictly roasting for retail, small businesses that carry their coffee, and their online store. "We built our following, our customers base, through the actual crafting and creating of coffee," Tio says. Tio's engineering degree from U-M helps him create the roasts that earned Three Keys Coffee the title of Best Coffee Roaster in Texas by Food and Wine. "I like to think about coffee roasting, in particular, as a combination of art and science," he says. Tio found U-M through the Summer Research Opportunity Program during his junior year of undergrad. He loved being on campus and pursued his master's in mechanical engineering in Ann Arbor. "It was a great, great experience. I love the University. Even though I didn't go for undergrad, that grad experience was very special and opened so many opportunities and pathways for me," he says. "That's why, with the shop, there's little homages to the Maize and Blue." Behind the counter, there's a winged football helmet, a U-M football book on display, and Three Keys Coffee merch in maize and blue. Plus, visitors can get a cinnamon Block M on their drink. "I put that helmet up specifically for this weekend as well as the Michigan football book. But everything else has been incorporated into our branding since day one."

🎼 The best part of waking up is a block M in your cup! #goblue #umalumni #bet #michiganvseverybody @threekeyscoffee

Michigan-Alum owned coffee bar, right on the train line to NRG (Central Station Main), at 712 Main St, open today until 4pm! #goblue #houstoncoffee #bestroasterintx #cfp #collegefootballchampionship

Welcome to Houston! The folks at @ThreeKeysCoffee are a great story!

@JudeCosta_ @shomaristone Haha we did get a few people flipping it upside down! I think that means the W will go to M? 🙃 #cfp #goblue

@shomaristone @ThreeKeysCoffee Are you sure it’s the Michigan M?

Good morning! You know I had to buy the M Block latte from @ThreeKeysCoffee 〽️ in downtown Houston. #GoBlue #CFBPlayoff

Such a pleasure to host you! Thank you for sharing! 〽️💙 Go blue!!

@TheGarrettOden @alexisgrant Thanks Garrett! Yes Three Keys Coffee is proud to be a majority woman-owned roastery and we have a Roaster’s choice subscription option that customizes biweekly or monthly selections based on your preferred brew method. Let me know if you have any questions! -Kenzel 🙂

@alexisgrant You might love Sueños! suenoscoffee.com Also suggest... @ThreeKeysCoffee (Houston) Sightseer Coffee (Austin) Mother Tongue (Oakland)

Anyone know of a coffee subscription (variety, so you get something different every month) from a company that's women-owned?
