The purpose of Arizona Coffee is to spread the word about great independent coffee shops in Arizona. The goal is to connect people with coffee houses across the great state of Arizona. I launched Arizona Coffee in March, 2005, and since then this website has played a small role in helping to develop the robust coffee culture we have in Arizona. This website is the most popular resource about coffee in Arizona and receives thousands of visits every month. Readers visit Arizona Coffee for the latest news about coffee and for our comprehensive list of coffee shops and coffee roasters in Arizona. If you only have a few minutes, check out those pages, and this list. About Chris Tingom I am a guy living in Scottsdale, AZ with my wife and 3 kids. I’m not a coffee professional by trade, but started this website because I wanted to find the best coffee in Arizona. Through this website, I meet so many amazing people in the coffee world and constantly learn about the art of great coffee. My typical coffee adventure includes a cappuccino or an iced toddy. Nearly every weekend I hop into the car and visit a new or favorite coffee shop with my family. I’m out and about driving all over the state of Arizona exploring great coffee, and sharing those visits with you here on Arizona Coffee. You can follow me on Twitter at @christingom and @arizonacoffee and “like” Arizona Coffee on Facebook. I post frequently on Instagram, too. My day job is building great websites. I help medium and large businesses design and develop awesome websites. If you’re interested in my work building websites, you can find me on LinkedIn, see recent work on Dribbble, or visit Tornado to learn more.
