Hamilton siblings start “Killer Coffee” brand

Brother and sister, Micah and Finn Puklowski are starting their own brand of fair trade organic coffee beans, called “Killer Coffee,” to sell at their imported sweet shop opening in Frankton next month.

A Wintec media arts graduate has developed her own Waikato coffee brand with a bit of dramatic flair.

Micah Puklowski, who completed a Masters of Arts in screenwriting last year, has dubbed it the Killer Coffee Company, with the slogan “You can sleep when you’re dead”.

She and her brother Finn came up with the idea to go along with the imported sweets shop they plan to open next month in Frankton.

“We love coffee,” Micah explains, “and it goes well with chocolate.”

In keeping with the theme, she and her brother plan to sell chocolate bullets and hand grenades as part of the marketing for Killer Coffee.

Micah personally designed the branding.

The beans themselves are Fair Trade, organic, and processed by an artisan coffee roaster in Hamilton. You can find them online here , or at United Sweets of New Zealand, 202 Commerce St, Frankton.
