Copper Cow Coffee is a California-based specialty coffee company reimagining traditional Vietnamese coffee for the American market. Founded by Vietnamese-American entrepreneur Debbie Wei Mullin, it sells single-serve pour-over pouches, flavored ground coffees, and latte kits paired with sweetened condensed milk creamers, all made with real ingredients and beans sourced from organic, sustainable Vietnamese farms where growers are paid roughly double the market rate. The women- and AAPI-owned brand has grown from a garage operation into a product sold in thousands of retail stores nationwide.
Debbie Wei Mullin is the founder and CEO of Copper Cow Coffee, a Los Angeles based Vietnamese coffee company she launched in 2016 out of her sister's garage. A UC Berkeley economist and MIT-trained urban planner who once managed supply chains at the World Bank, she turned her mother's Vietnamese heritage into a single-serve pour-over inspired by the traditional phin filter. The company has sold more than 20 million coffees, reached over 3,000 retail doors including Target, Whole Foods and Costco, and pays its Vietnamese farmers roughly twice the market rate. She pitched on Shark Tank Season 12 in 2021.

Jake Miller is the founder of Fellow, a San Francisco-based premium coffee gear company known for design-forward products like the Stagg EKG electric kettle, Ode Brew Grinder, and Carter Move Mug. He launched Fellow as a Stanford MBA class project in 2013, weathered 73 investor rejections and a failed first product, before building a nine-figure consumer brand sold in 45+ countries and backed by $42M in funding. Miller's mission is to transform everyday coffee routines into meaningful rituals by bridging the gap between specialty roasters and home baristas.
