Introducing Big Guns Coffee: Where high-octane coffee meets heart and soul
Added on 22 April 2025

Where It All Started
Who is Big Guns Coffee?
Big Guns Coffee is the brainchild of daughter and father duo Charli & T. Shane Johnson.
T.Shane Johnson is a Marine Corps Veteran, serial entrepreneur, motivational speaker, madman, author, world record athlete, and philanthropist. He has always been an innovator, willing to take the risks and lay the groundwork for a new venture knowing it will not be perfect initially.
Four years ago, Charli, a budding entrepreneur pitched to her father the idea to, “create a coffee brand that reflects their fast-living, risk-taking attitude”. T.Shane was on board and Big Guns Coffee was born. That business plan contained another big, bold idea – What if we could grow coffee hydroponically?
Big Guns Coffee provides a caffeine hit with unique flavors. The team spends Sundays in the
garage blending, roasting and crafting fresh, high-quality coffee from a selection of 38 blends
sourced globally. And they also grow their own coffee – hydroponically.
