CaffeMarco » Pre-order & Current Product Information

In Central Kentucky, CaffeMarco is known like the city of Paris where it resides; small place, big name. Founded in 2006 after a career in the California wine industry, Mark Newberry was one of the earliest local entrepreneurs in a new age of coffee. As he remembered it, “I moved here and I just wanted to be able to get a good cup of coffee.”

Newberry’s concept was simple, source only from a few world regions and offer only a handful of profiles. The coffee, too, was no-frills. Always certified Fair-trade and USDA Organic, CaffeMarco grew by staying consistent in a wave of new coffee enterprises.

Rich, smokey, and bittersweet like dark chocolate, the company’s beans possess the classic “coffee” taste that needs not be improved, yet is often overlooked. The distinctive dark roasts developed over a decade ago remain the company’s bread and butter.

In 2021, Marco’s nephew, Arthur Newberry, moved to Paris to run the operation after previously working with Slow Food Cincinnati’s Snail of Approval winners Blue Oven Bakery and Farm Beach Bethel. “A good city has to have good coffee, and I was thrilled to step into my uncle’s shoes. His coffee has brought so many people joy.”

Inspired by the countries that grow and consume the beverage, the young owner’s hope is that customers may be introduced to more international coffee rituals as CaffeMarco grows and embraces the many cultures of the world.
