More Than Just Local: Why We Partner with Current Coffee
At any event we cater, from a Milwaukee wedding to a Chicago corporate conference, the most important element is the coffee itself. You can have the most beautiful bar and the friendliest baristas, but the quality of the drink is what guests remember. That's why we've made a deliberate choice to exclusively partner with Current Coffee, a premier local roaster right here in Milwaukee.
This decision wasn't just about "shopping local"—it was about a commitment to unparalleled freshness and flavor.
Freshness You Can Taste
The biggest difference between specialty coffee and commodity coffee is freshness. Most coffee bags have a "best by" date, which can be up to a year after roasting. By that time, all the nuanced, vibrant flavors are long gone. Current Coffee, on the other hand, provides us with beans that are just *days* off-roast. This extreme freshness means the espresso we pull at your event is at its absolute peak, delivering the full, rich, and dynamic flavor profile the roaster intended.
A Partnership in Quality
We don't just buy beans from Current; we have a relationship with them. We trust their expertise in sourcing high-quality, ethical green coffee and their skill in roasting it to perfection. They are masters of their craft, and that mastery allows us to be masters of ours. This partnership ensures a consistent, delicious, and reliable product, so the latte we serve at your event is just as amazing as the one before it.
Supporting the Milwaukee Community
As a proud Milwaukee-based business, we believe in lifting up our community. Partnering with Current Coffee means we're investing back into the local economy. When you hire Ivory Grounds for your event, you're not just supporting one local business—you're supporting two. It's a small detail, but it's one that shows a shared commitment to the community we both serve.
Ultimately, this choice is for you and your guests. It ensures that every single cup we serve is a memorable, high-quality experience that reflects the care and excellence of your event.
