Blue Tiger Coffee Service
Blue Tiger Coffee is an office coffee company located in Seattle WA. that supplies offices with coffee and related break room supplies in the Seattle Metropolitan area (Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Renton, Kent, Everett, etc). They generally supply all the brewing equipment and maintain/clean it every 2 weeks at no charge to their customers as long as their customers continue to purchase the products through them.

Blue Tiger operates differently form typical office coffee services in that they promote and offer local third wave roasters coffees to offices. The roasters they exclusively offer to offices are Stumptown, Caffe Vita, Zoka, Victrola & Caffe Umbria. The biggest difference would be that Blue Tiger doesn't store or warehouse the coffee. They believe the coffee should be consumed within 2 weeks of roasting so they visit their customers every two weeks to take stock of what is needed and then have their roasters roast and package the coffee the next day so they can pick it up on the following day & deliver it directly from the roaster to their customers. In addition Blue Tiger supplies all their customers with a portion control grinder that will grind the exact amount of coffee needed per pot and automatically shut off so the coffee is fresh ground just prior to each brew. Blue Tiger believes the coffee in offices should be the same quality found in high end coffee shops and they can facilitate that by having the coffee fresh roasted to order and adhering to the roasters strict brewing guidelines.

Blue Tiger was started in 2007 by two 3rd generation office coffee brothers (Michael Klassen & Brandon Klassen) as well as their father who has held or managed several coffee services in 30 years of being in the office coffee industry. --Mklass (talk) 21:01, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
