Monmouth Coffee Project

The Monmouth Coffee Project is a wholesale coffee roasting company operating in the Nutrition Lab (CSB 201) within the Center for Science and Business on the Monmouth College Campus. The business is inspected by the Illinois State Health Department and operates using a set of “standard operating procedures” (SOPs). This interdisciplinary project is run by students and managed by chemistry professor Brad Sturgeon. Although students are not paid for their work, they will be exposed to all aspects of running a small entrepreneurial business and course credit can be earned. Those interested in working on the project are encouraged to contact Professor Sturgeon.
