Established in 1979

We’re an old and new school, no nonsense coffee roaster that understands people like to drink their coffee many different ways. Roger Chbeir started the business by asking the question, “what kind of coffee do people like to drink?” Our business continues to be shaped by the answer to that question. Since 1979, we have been offering a variety of coffees ranging from light roasted single origins to thoughtfully crafted and darkly roasted blends. The business continues to operate as Roger’s two sons Sami and Tony maintain the tradition of freshly roasting and careful curation of green beans to ensure ours and our customers’ standards are met. Our coffees are always specialty graded, freshly roasted, and delicious! Our goal is to help you make the coffee that you like to drink, at home. We thank our customers for their loyalty and look forward to many more years of sharing and drinking delicious coffees with you. Cheers!

Our Team

Roger: The Legend

Roger is the reason we’re all here. He’s a living legend whose story cannot justifiably be fit on an internet webpage. You’ll have to visit our store in hopes of catching him and hearing the stories firsthand. While you’re here, you can take home some of the blend that carries his namesake, Roger’s Blend, originally blended by Roger himself.

Sami:

Green Coffee Sourcing

The youngest of three kids growing up in San Antonio, Sami watched as his father worked hard to bring specialty coffee to South Texas. He began roasting beside his brother and father in 1997. Sami, and the rest of the Chbeir kids, graduated from Churchill High School, where he met his wife Natalie. They have three kids whom they love to travel with. He’s a fair mountain biker, a lousy dancer and a lover of audio books.

Tony: Technician & Operations Manager

For a long time, Tony held the title of highest volume coffee roaster in San Antonio, seconded only by his brother Sami. These days, Tony handles service and delivery to wholesale clients, fathers two beautiful children, and up keeps the tradition of authentic business relationships. Find him at every restaurant in town, at the star-parties he hosts at the warehouse, and carefully tending to the coffee plants at Finca La What’s Brewing?

Brendon: Office & Warehouse Manager

Rumor has it that Brendon came with the warehouse when it was purchased. From there he worked his way through the ranks, starting with the Farmer’s Market all the way up to the top to working alongside Sami. He says he’s working on his Master’s in Psychology, but we don’t think he will ever leave us.

Jake: Production Roaster

Jake, or ``dude`` as he's better known, is an ex-barista, sculptor, and owner of a couch. If he’s not browsing Reddit or watching hockey videos, he's roasting your favorite blends and creating the best roasts in San Antonio.

Anthony: Logistics Leader & Jerky Provider

Is your coffee delivered in a box? Chances are this man made if for you. Every pound, every bean is carefully shipped by this man right here. Anthony loves to cook, the outdoors, and going to his ranch.

Natalie: Office Manager

Wife of Sami and mother of three. Natalie has been here since the beginning answering phone calls and generating invoices for our wholesale clients. If you call What’s Brewing, chances are she will be the one to pick up! When she is not here she loves to cruise!
