The partners
behind the bean.

The Magic Bean isn't one company — it's an alliance. Each partner does what it does best, one shared membership connects them all, and 10% of every dollar gives back. We invest in local communities and students — not Google.

Why together beats alone

Every location that joins stops buying marketing alone and starts sharing it: one brand, one calendar, pooled dollars matched by Luxury Marine Life, and events — scheduled group events and local popups — that turn wasted ad spend into direct community giving through discounts, memberships, and Give-One gifts. The members belong to everyone; the app tracks every sale; and each partner simply does what it does best.

We are investing in the next generation and in those who serve us daily — veterans, firefighters, first responders, teachers, students. We've created the places to meet, network, and help each other. Healthy people, first.

Signed by Every Location

The Code of Ethics & Honest Standards

  1. The Freshness Pledge is absolute. No coffee older than 30 days from its roast date is ever brewed or sold. Ever.
  2. Honest numbers only. Every earnings, ROI, or projection figure we publish is labeled illustrative — never guaranteed.
  3. Real scarcity only. We never fabricate counters, countdowns, reviews, or testimonials. If a number is on this site, it's true.
  4. Health claims stay honest. Structure-function language only, always with the FDA disclaimer. Coffee supports your day; it doesn't cure anything.
  5. GARMN transparency. 10% of gross revenue routes to GARMN (EIN 33-2299699) with IRS-compliant receipts — and the nonprofit stays fully independent of the business.
  6. Full disclosure. Affiliates disclose their connection per FTC guidance. Partner costs are published in full — no hidden fees, no surprise terms.
  7. Member privacy. Member data exists to serve members. It is never sold.
  8. Fair use, fairly enforced. Daily cups are generous by design; we protect the program so it stays generous for everyone.
  9. Community first. We serve those who serve us daily — veterans, first responders, teachers — and the students coming up behind them.
  10. Quality over growth. A new location opens only when it can honor every promise on this page from day one.
