Metro Atlanta man takes coffee business on the road

With the pop of a tent, the shake of a drink, and the snap of a to-go cup lid, Mike Twigg is a man in business.

“People still want their coffee,” Twigg says.  “They always want their coffee.”

Twigg is the owner of MET BrewMasters, which is currently something of a cafe-on-wheels.  His specialty is Nitro Coffee, which is cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen.

"It's colorless, it's odorless, and it's tasteless,” he says of nitrogen.  “What it does do, it adds a slight hint of sweetness to the coffee. But what it also does, it gives you that visual aspect of the coffee, because the coffee's going to start cascading and create a head on the top.  Just like a Guinness." 

Twigg serves up his Nitro Coffee right from the back of his newly-purchased van.  But his business wasn’t always a mobile one; in fact, he says the idea didn’t pop up until the entire world shut down.

"What is used to be, I would brew the Nitro Coffee and supply the coffee and a Kegerator to corporate offices around Buckhead, Midtown, etc.,” he says.   "But, of course, since the pandemic came along, nobody's going in their offices.  So, it's like, how am I going to keep my business afloat?"

No, with his fully outfitted “coffee caravan,” Twigg takes his product straight to the people — visiting apartment complexes, neighborhoods, businesses, and fundraisers.  It may not be how he envisioned MET BrewMasters, but Twigg says as long as he’s spreading a little caffeinated joy right now, his cup is overflowing.

"It's great!  I mean, I've got the shade, the table so we can comply, obviously, keep the six foot distance...it's just an awesome unit to take out and about."
