Owner of Copper Kettle Coffee Company in Deming, New Mexico

Amanda Sanders turned her love of coffee into her livelihood with a little help from a $17,500 DreamSpring startup loan. Percolating in a beautifully restored historic building in downtown Deming, Copper Kettle Coffee Company offers gourmet espresso, fresh-baked breakfast items, and homemade small-batch ice cream. “You couldn’t ask for a better coffee shop,” says one online review. With free WiFi and cozy seating, the Copper Kettle is a bright spot for anyone looking for a caffeine and comfort fix in Deming.
