ABOUT
Coffea magazine was initially launched in 2009 by Coffe’ Summers and relaunch in 2018. She hoped to give those highlighted their much earned fifteen minutes of fame. Most times those recognized are mainstreamed and we tend to constantly see the same people on every cover. With Coffea she wanted to catch those before the fame and before the main stage in hopes and helping them get their feet in the door. In addition with it being a variation of her name , Coffe' became fascinated to with origin of the word.
ORIGIN
