At Kaptein Coffee, our story is deeply intertwined with the sea and the commercial fishing industry. For our founder, Scott Sperbeck—a former Bering Sea king crab captain—this connection is profoundly personal. Scott has experienced the courage, sacrifice, and determination it takes to navigate life on the water, as well as the deep sorrow of losing loved ones to the unforgiving ocean.

The Seattle Fishermen’s Memorial is a vital organization dedicated to honoring the legacy of more than 675 fishermen and women who have lost their lives while pursuing their livelihoods. Beyond remembrance, the Memorial provides essential support to grieving families, fostering a sense of community, healing, and recognition for those whose lives have been deeply affected by the risks of the fishing industry.

Through ourSeas of Sacrifice coffee blend, Kaptein Coffee proudly supports the mission of the Seattle Fishermen’s Memorial. A portion of every purchase contributes directly to this meaningful cause, ensuring that the bravery and sacrifices of these individuals are never forgotten. By choosingSeas of Sacrifice, you’re helping to preserve their memory, support their families, and celebrate the enduring spirit of those who brave the seas.
