I'm Ryan Post. I grew up in southeast Wisconsin, playing high school football and not thinking twice about coffee.

Back then, it wasn't something I cared about... it was just there. That changed when life got real.

I had a child early and needed to step up and provide for my family. That led me into the coffee industry, working in wholesale sales for one of the largest coffee manufacturers in the country. I was selling coffee to restaurants, hospitals, and hotels... learning the business side, but never actually roasting.

At the time, coffee was still just a job. Then one small moment changed everything.

A coworker mentioned you could roast coffee in a cast iron skillet, so I tried it. Yeah... it wasn't very good! Scorched, inconsistent... but even that first batch tasted cleaner than a lot of what you find on store shelves.

That stuck with me. So I kept going.

What started on a stovetop turned into a propane grill with a wire mesh drum... spun with a drill. It wasn't pretty, but it worked. Over time, I upgraded the setup, dialed things in, and got closer to something I actually wanted to drink.

Then something unexpected happened... other people wanted it too.

Friends & family enjoyed it, and kept coming back. That's when it clicked. If people liked the same coffee I liked, maybe this was more than just a hobby.

That idea became Nuclear Coffee. It exists for one reason: to prove coffee doesn't have to be boring, burnt, or forgettable.

The name comes from years of gaming and a love for post-apocalyptic worlds, but it also fits. Walk into most stores, and coffee feels like a wasteland... over-roasted and forgettable.

Nuclear Coffee is my way of pushing back against that.

For me, coffee is like music. Some days you want something smooth and easy like Jazz. Other days, something bright or bold like . But no matter what, it should be clean, intentional, and enjoyable.

That's what I aim for with every roast.

At my core, I'm just someone who likes to build things people enjoy. I'm a creative person, a lifelong gamer, a Packer fan, and someone who probably stays a little too busy, but everything I do comes back to the same goal:

Provide for my family, and create something meaningful.

Success to me isn't just growth. It's seeing people come together over a good cup of coffee. Because at the end of the day, that's what Nuclear Coffee is about.

Not just better coffee... but better moments.
