Coffee Subscriptions, Summer Flavors and More!

Dear Esteamed Family,

We are so excited to share the latest news with you from Esteamed Coffee! Summer brings with it time to slow down, unwind and even try some fun new flavors. Who knows? You might even get to exercise your green thumb like Jack (matcha not included).

As we continue to cook up some fun new programs and initiatives this year, we're so grateful for the support of our incredible community (especially people like you)!

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the Esteamed Express.

Grounds for Giving: A Fresh Take on Recurring Support

We know you love our coffee - you bought 557 bags of it last year alone! But did you know you can order freshly roasted Esteamed Coffee online, ground just the way you like it and shipped anywhere in the continental U.S.?

Recurring giving is vital to small nonprofits like ours. It brings stability to our team and helps us grow with purpose, planning ahead while staying true to our mission. What if you could have your (coffee) cake and eat it too? With a coffee subscription, you’re not just enjoying a delicious cup at home - you’re directly supporting meaningful employment for adults with intellectual, developmental, communication, and visual disabilities. It’s coffee with a cause, delivered straight to your door as often as you choose.

Sign up for a subscription today and start brewing change—one cup at a time.

Summer Flavors are Here!

As the days grow longer and the sun grows hotter, Esteamed Coffee is ready to brighten your day with an all-new seasonal menu full of summertime flavors. Our incredible staff is hard at work learning some new recipes and we can't wait to share them with you starting this week!

Will you sip a refreshing Espresso Tonic over ice with a splash of lemon, or maybe channel your inner beach bum with The Captain (a butter rum and banana latte)? Are you brave enough to try the spicy Bee Sting, with salted caramel and hot honey?

It's not just coffee drinks we're excited about! From our new "Pink Paradise" (strawberry banana coconut milk, pictured here with Serenity) to "Berry Tee Time," a raspberry iced tea lemonade, there's something for everyone on the seasonal menu.

Come check out the new drinks starting June 3rd, and let us know what you think!

Mission Moment

Compassionate Conversations

Last month, Esteamed Coffee hosted a free "Cops and Conversation" event to give adults with disabilities the opportunity to meet the local police department, ask questions, and learn about

interacting with officers. Part of our Life Skills Series, this night helped guests gain confidence while allowing Cary PD to meet members of the disability community.

A local parent put it best in an email leading up to the event: "Because [our son] is an autistic driver we worry about this all the time! Will he be able to stay calm in an accident or if he ever gets pulled over? Will an officer be understanding? We will rest a bit easier after tonight because [he] will have met an officer in a safe, relaxed environment! Appreciate all you do for our community!"

We are so grateful to the Cary Police Department, and to the Louise R. Lester Foundation for sponsoring such a critical event. Thank you!
