Big Watt Beverage Co. is a beverage manufacturer that emerged from Five Watt Coffee in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It produces cold press coffee that remains shelf-stable for 12 months without preservatives, a result of in-house testing and feedback from Five Watt's customers. The product is packaged in a can for convenient, on-the-go consumption outside the cafe. Founded by Lee Carter, Jason Westplate, and Caleb Garn, veterans of the coffee and beverage industries, the company operates with a small team. Based in Minneapolis, it positions itself within the beverage manufacturing sector by offering a long-lasting cold press option that can be distributed beyond the cafe setting. Product development relies on iterative testing and input from customers to refine the offering.
