Our Story

 

The Mountain Mudd Espresso® drive-thru specialty coffee brand and craze began March 17, 2004 in Billings, Montana.  From the beginning, Mountain Mudd’s espresso – modeled after intense, delicious espresso served in Naples, Italy – has been consistently roasted, full flavored and fresh.  It is served at fun and approachable drive-thru kiosks that fit perfectly with consumers’ desire for ultra-convenient, premium coffee on the go!

Over the years the brand has grown in popularity, attracting loyal customers and progressive entrepreneurs all around the globe.  In 2006, CHS (a Fortune 200 company) acquired Mountain Mudd to form Partnered Beverages LLC and expand the brand. Partnered Beverages LLC was then sold to Café International, headquartered out of Boise, Idaho in September, 2011. (click here for press release)
