Ceramic was founded by Murtaza Aziz, a coffee roaster and enthusiast with 8 years of roasting experience. Murtaza grew up in Chicago but spent his formative years in Austin, TX. He is a second generation Pakistani-American and has laid down roots in Chicago. You can usually find him biking around the city, playing guitar (badly), or trekking on a trail. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why Ceramic?

Ceramic cups, in our humble opinion, are the best vessels for drinking coffee. They allow you to slow down and enjoy the fruits of other’s labor. The coffee that you drink touches so many hands before it lands in your cup. We believe that, when possible, coffee should be enjoyed in a ceramic cup to truly honor the hard work of the growers, processors, buyers, roasters, and baristas.
