Our Story
Java Juice® was developed in Venice, California by master coffee roaster Richard Karno the founder of popular Los Angeles coffee houses, groundwork coffee llc. www.groundworkcoffee.com.

Java Juice

Originally, he created a coffee extract as an efficient way to make iced-blended mocha drinks. With Java Juice extract, the baristas didn't waste time or coffee pulling espresso shots and the Java Juice didn't melt the ice in the blended drinks. The result was a smoother creamier drink with more coffee flavor. Soon Java Juice became the standard at groundwork coffeehouses and customers began to buy it by the quart. Over time, the extract won a devoted following among surfers, body builders, cyclists, bartenders and chefs. Enthusiasm for Java Juice® on the road was so great, the next step was obvious:  The portable version.  The outdoor retail industry embraced it and we kept on going. Java Juice® was a product whose time had come. Java Juice® the industry leader organic in travel coffee.
