"The company name reveals a sweet habit of Wayne's, which was to gift the cast and crew of every movie he made with mugs. These mugs had golden handles and were stamped with the name of the movie plus a personal inscription. Today, these rarities fetch tens of thousands of dollars at auction, but you can participate in Wayne's coffee ritual with Gold Handle Coffee."
"Gold Handle Coffee once had a coffee shop in Fort Worth, Texas, but sadly, it's now closed. However, you can still shop the brand online. There are light, medium, and dark roasts for $16 each, an organic medium roast, an espresso roast, and a decaf roast at $18 each. Each bag offers whole beans, weighing in at 12 ounces."
"Utilizing 100% Arabica beans, Gold Handle is headlined by Tim Coonan, a former executive chef who also has own popular coffee shop chain in Chicago, Big Shoulders. So, you know you're getting good coffee, coffee that Wayne himself would have considered worthy of filling his prized mugs."
