About Me
Hi my name is Nabil affectionately known as "Nibbs". I started Nibbs Coffee Company in order to share my love of specialty coffee with everyone.
Prior to starting Nibbs Coffee Company, I worked for various companies in the plastics manufacturing, trucking and warehousing industries. While this had been a successful career path, I longed to open my own business doing something I'm truly passionate about.
Where did this passion come from you might ask?
I can think of a few distinct time periods where I've collectively formed this passion:
Growing up, "coffee time" was the focal point of my grandmother's day where she sat with me and other family members and discussed various topics for the day. It could have been 6:00am or 9:00pm she didn't care. Just put the coffee on and we could sit and chat. I remember these times fondly and we typically made our coffee in the most basic coffee pot using ground canned coffee. She always made sure there were some homemade pastries to go with the coffee.
Fast forward to my college years, where I had the opportunity to study for a semester abroad in Rome, Italy. This European experience really transformed my knowledge of coffee. Suddenly, I was drinking Italian espresso on the way to and from school. Hopping on a plane to Northern Europe to drink filter coffee and down to Athens, Greece to sample Greek Coffee I remember drinking enough to make my eyes twitch, Wow! What an experience!
During one of my summer breaks, I decided to spend a few months in Saudi Arabia with my dad. There I was exposed to traditional Saudi green coffee and Turkish coffee but most of all the coffee culture. Sitting and chatting for hours drinking coffee and "enjoying the life".
Ultimately, coffee is not only a drink meant to be consumed alone. It's meant to be shared with family and friends.
My hope is to share my coffees with each and every one of you, even for that brief moment, where you can "enjoy the life".
Thank you - Nibbs
