Every season your team will have expenses that are outside of the Core Fees (EX: travel, extra tournaments, new equipment, etc.). MU’s Coffee for Kicks (“CFK”) is always a hit. Most importantly, EVERY DOLLAR of profit goes directly back to your team.

Participating in this fundraiser is a great way to support your team without having to fork out more money. Who doesn’t like that idea?!? Whether you’re purchasing coffee for your house or gifting coffee, CFK is a great way to raise money for your team. Please ask your manager about what expenses might be coming as a team expense between now and the end of the season. During the Winter CFK event, MU will have minimum order requirements. 

The order window is now open through 8:00pm on Sunday, November 26.

Safari Pride Coffee is our coffee provider and is a local, family owned roaster with strong ties to Minneapolis United. Safari Pride Coffee was founded by Samuel Ngwa. His son, Fru Ngwa, also coached for MU.

Safari Pride Coffee is a gourmet coffee roaster located in North Minneapolis that provides a full range of single origin African coffees and blends. Located in the bean belt of Africa, this region around the equator provides the best climate for coffee cultivation with its warm and moist environment as well as its rich volcanic soils.  The goals of Safari Pride Coffee are the following:

• Introduce deliciously tasting African coffees to the American market while ensuring an adequate income to the farmer and ensuring that the coffees are cultivated using ethically sustainable practices.
• Diversify away from colonial practices of routinely undervaluing higher graded African coffees and selling them to European roasters at commercial grade coffee (commodity) prices, as well as to take more ownership of the coffee value chain from an African perspective (take coffee cherry from farm to cup).
• Make a positive impact in the communities where the coffee is cultivated and where it is consumed.

Safari Pride Coffee offerings are the following:

Sunrise Blend: Roast is light medium.  Medium Body.  Bright, smooth and fragrant acidity.  Richly sweet, fruity with notes of chocolate aroma.  Medium body, bright crips, vibrant with smooth notes of citrus and chocolate taste.

French Roast: Roast is Dark.  Full Body.  Light acidity. Complex, rich and superb aroma.  Full-bodied, pleasantly smooth, slightly acidic with smoky rich notes of chocolate

PREMIUM Cameroon Mt OKU: Roast is Medium.  Full Body.  Crisp acidity.  Richly sweet and savory aroma. Full-body, earthy, chocolate, toffee, caramel and sweet finish.

Coffee for Kicks Spring Event

Pricing: Safari Pride is a premium coffee so the pricing is a little higher than in previous CFK events.

Safari Pride roasts the beans in small batches while maintaining the characteristics of each bean and region, highlighting the natural sugars and flavors of the bean. The result of this process is a delightfully tasting cup of coffee with explosive aroma and complex flavor.
