Wrecking Ball > murky coffee ??

Nick Cho, the founder of Murky Coffee, has moved to greater SF area and opened Wrecking Ball coffee roasters with Trish Rothgeb, one of the leading roasters in the States.

Nicholas Cho used to base on East Coast, D.C.  He brews coffee as the US leading barista of murky coffee, founded in 2002, and is gaining his recognition in specialty coffee industry since then.  SF is the heaven for the third wave but there are the impenetrable castle of leading coffee roasters such as Blue Bottle and FOURBARREL surrounded by highly competitive small-sized and newly-founded roasters/coffee shops.  Even with the high reputation in coffee industry, it seems that SF turns out severe market for the duo.

The last two years, Wrecking Ball was selling their small-batch-roasted beans online and seeping in SF coffee market.  There are now several cafe to serve coffee to go in East coast style, quick to go.  

It has been few years since the duo, Nick & Trish opens Wrecking Ball, but their business seems gradually growing.  It is highly possible to find Wrecking Ball sign in SF mixed in Blue Bottle sign which we find a lot in town.
