From the Streets of New York to Your Morning Cup
Michael Franzese lived a life most people only see in movies. In the 1980s he was one of the most powerful figures in organized crime: Fortune Magazine ranked him #18 on its list of the fifty most powerful Mafia bosses, the youngest man on that list.
Then he made a choice no one in his position had made before. He walked away. He is the only high-ranking official of a major crime family to leave without protective custody and survive. What brought him out was faith, family and a commitment to building something real.
Michael Franzese Specialty Coffee is the latest chapter in that story: coffee that is as bold and honest as the man behind it.
"I've been in rooms where trust meant everything. I bring that same standard to everything I put my name on." — Michael Franzese
