Meet Clout Coffee: From Carole's 2018 Vision to Hermann's Women-Owned Legacy

We're captivated to introduce Clout Coffee, where in May 2018, three passions converged: a love for coffee, bourbon, and community, giving birth to what is now Clout Coffee. Female-founded by Carole Sprunk who envisioned a brand rooted in her passions, aiming to empower and inspire others in their daily lives through coffee—a universal experience that connects us with family and friends and accompanies us in our solitary moments as we begin our days. Beginning with single origin Colombian Arabica beans aged for eight or more weeks in freshly dumped spirit barrels that are rolled to ensure even exposure to wet barrel staves to infuse the essence of premium spirits, then roasted in small batches according to their Clout roasting profile where any alcohol burns off at high temperatures but bold flavors and aromas of the spirits remain. In October 2023, two couples came together to bring Clout Coffee to Hermann, Missouri—Alicia Jett (CEO & CHRO) and Brian Jett (CFO) continuing the brand's legacy, deepening Clout's connection to local craft culture, remaining true to its origins as a female-founded and women-owned company with artisan coffee beans available in local retailers, tasting rooms, and online for delivery straight to your door.

About Our Barrel Aged Coffee Beans

We begin with single origin Colombian Arabica beans. The green beans are aged for eight or more weeks in freshly dumped spirit barrels. The barrels are rolled to ensure even exposure to the wet barrel staves to infuse the essence of the premium spirits.

Cracked Open, Roasted in Small Batches

Once the beans have aged properly, the barrels are cracked open to reveal the green beans. We then roast the coffee beans in small batches according to our Clout roasting profile. Any alcohol that may have been absorbed during the barrel aging process has burned off at the high temperatures, but the bold flavors and aromas of the spirits remain, giving our coffee a bold flavor you're sure to love!

Colombian Beans from Huila Mill

Beans from the Colombian region are purchased from a variety of small producers near the Huila Mill. This El Camino Real blend is typically 90% Supremo, 10% Excelso but can vary depending on harvest season and market conditions. These beans typically have an elevation of 1100 - 1800 MASL with aromas of bakers chocolate, black walnut, stone fruit, and lemon with flavors of cocoa, bruleed fruit, and citrus.

Espresso Roast from Cerrado Mineiro, Brazil

Our espresso roast is a blend that includes beans from the Cerrado Mineiro region of Brazil. These beans have an elevation of 1050 - 1130 MASL with aromas of brownies, caramel, marshmallows, and juicy body with flavors of toasted oats, lemon tea, and Hostess cupcake.

Female Founded, Women Owned

In May 2018, three passions converged: a love for coffee, bourbon, and community, giving birth to what is now Clout Coffee. Founder Carole Sprunk envisioned a brand rooted in her passions, aiming to empower and inspire others in their daily lives. Coffee, a universal experience, connects us with family and friends and accompanies us in our solitary moments as we begin our days.
