Meet the founders
Charli’s vision. Built together.
Young entrepreneur Charli Johnson and her dad, Marine Corps veteran T. Shane Johnson, are building Big Guns Coffee around family, curiosity, and a new approach to growing coffee.
Their original indoor hydroponic pilot in Tryon, North Carolina helped shape a bigger agricultural vision. Our everyday online coffees are separately sourced from coffee-growing regions around the world.
Our hydroponic farming work combines living coffee trees with precise indoor controls. The original pilot is the foundation of our next chapter.
98% less water
Our reported water savings versus traditional tillable-land cultivation come from an ebb-and-flow system that recirculates water.
Roots meet technology
Coffee trees grow without soil in a controlled indoor environment, with carefully managed light, irrigation, and nutrients.
Built with scientific input
Developed with a consulting NASA scientist, Appalachian State University, and Isothermal Community College.
Our everyday online blends are sourced from coffee-growing regions around the world and roasted to order. Our indoor hydroponic farm is pioneering a separate chapter in American coffee agriculture.
The roots of our next chapter
A Daughter’s Dream. An American Coffee Breakthrough.
Meet T. Shane and Charli Johnson, and see the original indoor hydroponic pilot that helped shape our vision for growing, roasting and serving coffee differently.
Inside our original indoor hydroponic coffee pilot—the foundation for our next chapter.
We match your answers to the brewing formats and descriptions of six coffees in our collection. Decaf comes first, then brewer compatibility, then flavor. This is a starting point for your taste—not a prediction of caffeine strength.
Good questions. Clear answers.
