Brand Story & Impact

More Than Coffee: The Story Behind Extra Shot Coffee Co.

At Extra Shot Coffee Co., every cup we serve tells a story—a story of heart, hope, and the belief that small actions can spark big change. Our name, Extra Shot, is inspired by Trisomy 21, the genetic condition that causes Down syndrome—a condition defined by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome. Just as an extra shot of espresso deepens the flavor and energy of coffee, we believe that diversity adds richness to the human experience.

That’s why our mission goes beyond crafting exceptional coffee. Every purchase supports advocacy, education, and inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome. We are passionate about empowering communities, creating opportunities, and brewing conversations that matter. So when you choose Extra Shot, you’re not just fueling your day—you’re fueling a purpose.
