History

Established in 1990.

Coffee Connexion started brewing high quality coffee beans in July 1990 at their coffeehouse in Tahoe City, CA. Established by Jeff and Robin Dworkin, the new coffeehouse had one of the first espresso machines at the lake and served gourmet baked goods and sandwiches.

In 1996, after six years of buying various green beans from suppliers in Southern California, Jeff and Robin decided to buy their own roaster. Jeff travelled to Corvallis, Oregon in the fall of 1996 and bought their fluid bed roaster from Mike Sivetz of Sivetz Coffee Co. After learning the fine art of roasting from Gavina Bros. in Los Angeles, Jeff began purchasing green beans from Royal Coffee in Emeryville, CA.

Sadly, Jeff passed away in 2001 but Robin continues the legacy with the help of her two children, Jen and
