The Mean Bean Coffee Co. Brand
The Mean Bean logo and brand ideology is fast becoming regionally and nationally famous. Eoin takes the Brand, as seriously as he takes the coffee they blend. There is a strategic and carefully planned social media presence that reinforces the Mean Bean message of quality and community.
Eoin likes to engage with his Mean Bean clients through the social media channels to make sure that they share their online presence. Recently, Mean Bean sponsored Waterford City Rugby Club after a competition that reached almost 75K people. They have committed to continuing their support and involvement in Irish communities with the help of significant social media following and a growing customer and client base.
Eoin McGrath
Managing Director
Eoin McGrath established the Mean Bean company in 2013 after five years of coffee sales experience. His love for all things coffee led to him taking a almost a year to find the right beans and the right blends that would yield a product, whose quality could match Eoin’s passion. A former Waterford and Mount Sion hurler, Eoin is extremely well known in the south east and beyond and has shared his passion for coffee with a large amount of equally well known and reputable businesses. In today's competitive market, we have a saying here at Mean Bean Coffee Co, 'You are only as good as the last cup of coffee', that is why customer care is paramount to the success of our company.

We give customers the choice of both blends which is different to most cafes. Mean Bean Coffee is family to us but the level of service and knowledge they provide is everything a cafe looks for.
