I'm Nathan Janusz—a Navy veteran, registered nurse, husband, and dad who's spent a lot of life showing up early, staying late, and carrying responsibility when nobody's clapping.

Bilge Brew is built for people who do the unglamorous work that keeps things running.

I care about quality because I've depended on it myself—on ships, in hospitals, and during shifts where bad coffee isn't just annoying, it's a liability.

If you value earned trust and doing things right even when no one's watching, you already understand why this brand exists.

The name comes from the bilge—the lowest part of the ship. It's not glamorous, but it matters. If you've served, you know that some of the most important work happens out of sight.

I care about quality because I've relied on it myself—on ships, in hospitals, and during long nights when weak coffee just doesn't cut it.

The name isn't a gimmick. It's a nod to the mindset: show up, do the work, and don't cut corners.

That's the spirit behind every bag we roast.

If you value quiet discipline, earned trust, and doing things right even when no one's watching, then you already understand who I am and why this brand exists.

Every coffee I offer is chosen for flavor, balance, and reliability. No shortcuts. No artificial nonsense. Just coffee that tastes the way it should.

If it's not something I'd drink personally, it doesn't make it to your cup.

That's not marketing—that's my standard.
