Hey, I'm Tom!

At Coffee Alive, my mission is simple: to help you experience the truest flavors in every cup of coffee. I believe coffee is more than just a drink; it’s a ritual, a moment of inspiration, and a way to connect with the subtle beauty of a well-crafted brew. Coffee Alive began as a passion project and evolved into an ongoing mission to bring out the best in every bean through tools that transform coffee and espresso flavor.

While Coffee Alive is focused on creating innovative coffee tools, it’s actually part of my main brand, Toms RiDICKulous Things. If you’ve found yourself wondering why your receipt says Toms RiDICKulous Things, that’s because I’m a one-man operation! I design, prototype, make, package, and ship products across three brands: Coffee Alive, Toms RiDICKulous Things (where I make humorous beer can chicken stands), and Initial Layer, a newer venture focused on 3D printing and machining.

Running these brands keeps me busy—and laughing! I handle every step myself, which means that whether you’re enjoying a perfectly brewed cup with Coffee Alive, starting conversations with a RiDICKulous beer can chicken stand, or diving into custom 3D-printed designs with Initial Layer, it all comes from the same dedication to quality and fun.

Thank you for supporting Coffee Alive and my other projects! I’m committed to making the tools you need to enjoy life’s best moments—whether it’s a backyard BBQ or a quiet morning with a strong espresso.

Here’s to coffee, humor, and the spirit of craftsmanship!

Cheers,

Tom
