About Us

Coffee for the Restless

Dead Tired Coffee Co. is a family-owned Michigan coffee company making specialty-grade coffee for people who understand what it means to be genuinely, deeply tired.

We started Dead Tired because coffee was already part of how we survived busy mornings, late nights, long workdays, parenting, and everything life manages to pile in between. We wanted to create something that felt like us: great coffee, dark humor, memorable skeleton artwork, and a brand that does not pretend everyone wakes up refreshed and ready to seize the day.

Specialty-Grade Coffee, Roasted for Your Order

Our specialty-grade coffee is roasted to order by our roasting partner and shipped directly to you, rather than sitting for months on a grocery-store shelf.

The collection includes smooth everyday blends, dark roasts, flavored coffees, high-caffeine options, decaf, seasonal releases, and a few blends that are difficult to neatly categorize—which is honestly very on-brand for us.

Coffee ships free within the United States, because finding coffee you love should not come with a surprise shipping charge at checkout.

Yes, We’re the Coffee with the Skeletons

Every Dead Tired blend has its own name, artwork, and personality. Skeleton cowboys, haunted houses, restless souls, and other members of the permanently exhausted show up throughout the collection.

The skeletons may be what helps you remember us, but the specialty-grade coffee is what we hope brings you back.

We care about creating coffee that tastes good before you cover it with syrups, sweeteners, or creamer. Add whatever makes your cup enjoyable—we are not here to police anybody’s morning—but a good cup should have a solid foundation.

More Than a Coffee Bag

Dead Tired Coffee Co. grew from a small family idea into a community of night owls, parents, shift workers, makers, dreamers, and tired people trying their best.

We make coffee for real life: rushed mornings, quiet sunrises, midnight projects, long drives, and the days when simply getting out of bed deserves recognition.

You May Have Seen Us Around

You might have found Dead Tired Coffee Co. at a local vendor event, through one of our coffee memes, or somewhere in the endless scroll of social media.

We show up online as much for the humor and community as the coffee itself. The skeletons, tired-person jokes, product launches, behind-the-scenes chaos, and occasional vendor-table appearance are all part of the same small family business.

However you found us, we’re glad you did.

So whether you found us by name or searched for “that coffee with the skeletons,” welcome. You found the right place.

Fresh roasted. Shipped free. Made for the restless.
