Mold Free Coffee
Busting the Mold Myth: Bright and Early Coffee is Third-Party Certified Mold-Free (And Always Has Been)
Lately, you've probably seen brands popping up claiming their coffee is "mold-free" — along with some pretty bold insinuations that everyone else’s coffee is full of mold. It’s created a lot of buzz, confusion, and frankly, some fear-mongering in the coffee world.
Here at Bright and Early Coffee, we’ve been roasting coffee the right way for over 100 years. We’re not new to this. We’re the Original Texas Coffee Roaster, and in all that time, we’ve never once seen mold be an issue in our specialty-grade coffee — because quality green beans and expert roasting prevent that from the start.
But let’s talk facts — not hype.
To put all rumors and myths to rest, we recently had our coffee third-party tested for mold and mycotoxins. The results?
Undetectable.
That’s right — Bright and Early Coffee is officially certified mold-free.
What’s the Deal with the Mold Hype?
The truth is, mold spores are everywhere in nature. That’s why there are rigorous global standards in place to monitor quality in coffee farming, processing, storage, and roasting. When you source great beans and handle them properly — like we always have — mold contamination just isn’t a problem.
But some brands saw an opportunity to build a business on fear. They threw around scary words like “toxins” and slapped “mold-free” on their labels — then slapped a $28 price tag on a 12oz bag.
We’re going to say what everyone’s thinking:
That’s outrageous.
Specialty Coffee Without the Price Gimmicks
We don’t need to invent a new problem to sell coffee. We just roast it right — with over a century of experience behind us — and now, with third-party certification to back it up.
Bright and Early Coffee is mold-free. Always has been.
We just didn’t think we needed to shout it — until now.
So if you’re looking for mold-free, specialty-grade coffee without the sticker shock, we’ve got you. Whether it's our fan-favorite Texas Cinnamon, our rich Southern Pecan, or our smooth House Blend, you're getting expertly roasted, lab-tested, clean coffee — from a company that’s been doing it since your great-grandparents were brewing it on the stove.
Drink Coffee. Skip the Fear.
No need to pay a premium for what should already be standard.
No need to panic about your morning cup.
Just brew up a fresh pot of Bright and Early, and rest easy knowing we’ve got your back — and your beans are as clean and delicious as ever.
