Why I started Coffee 24
Hello, I'm Parteek — founder of Coffee24. I started this company right after graduating from the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba, with one simple goal: offices deserve better coffee and better service.

TL;DR: Parteek started Coffee24 in 2024 after graduating from the Asper School of Business, frustrated by burnt pod coffee and machines that sat broken for days. Coffee24 delivers barista-quality coffee with a 2-hour service response, because great coffee shouldn't stop over a machine issue.
Where it started
I graduated from the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba in 2024 with a simple observation: we live in a world where technology moves fast, yet most workplaces were still stuck with the same tired coffee setup — burnt pods, stale beans, and machines nobody wanted to deal with.
The problem with office coffee today
Walk into most Winnipeg offices and you'll find the same story. A pod machine that was exciting for the first month and forgotten after that. Coffee that tastes like it's been sitting for hours. And when something breaks? You're waiting two or three days for anyone to even look at it — while your team runs out for coffee instead, taking their focus and their time with them.
That gap is what got me started. I wanted to bring barista-quality coffee directly into offices, backed by service that actually shows up.
Building Coffee24: coffee that doesn't wait
At Coffee24, if something goes wrong, you're not stuck waiting days for a fix. We aim for a 2-hour service response, because great coffee shouldn't stop over a machine issue. That's the standard I wanted to build the company around from day one — fast, local, and reliable, the way office coffee service should have been all along.
More than coffee
For me, this business has always been about more than coffee. It's about making workplaces feel a little better, one cup at a time — whether that's a law firm on Portage Avenue or a manufacturing floor in the Inkster Industrial Park.
If your office is still dealing with burnt pods and slow repairs,
I'd love to show your team what Coffee24 can do.
