There’s odd side effects during these COVID times. Costco seems to be a bit cagey about who is the supplier for their various suppliers for the Kirkland in-house brand. A closet industry has popped on on the internet tracking down various possible Kirkland suppliers. We’re decaf drinkers in this house and, like many other people, are avoiding going into stores during these crazy COVID times. That includes our Costco Organic Decaf Colombian whole bean coffee.

Our last few orders have come from an unusual source. The first arrived from CW/PARIS Coffee, 1875 N Topping Ave, Kansas City, Missouri. The second came from GFE, 8800 NE Underground Drive, Kansas City, Missouri. With some names and some addresses, the Google was well enabled. Top on the list, Paris Brothers headquartered at 8800 NE Underground Drive, Kansas City, Missouri.

The 1875 N Topping Ave location is auspicious as it’s the location of a Parisi coffee shop

And there you have it. Paris Brothers tick a number of boxes and seem like a good candidate

• Coffee distributer who handles private-label sourcing
• Whole bean coffee distribution in 2 pound (32 oz) bags
• Both shipping locations line up with Paris Brothers associated businesses per the mighty Goog
