UMBC Alum Joseph Hyman Revolutionizes Coffee
Founder of MoJoe Brewing Co. is first mobile coffee brewer
If you go to UMBC, you know there are three rules to never
break:
1) Never leave your parking spot unless you absolutely HAVE
to because there is NO chance you'll find another.
2) You can't speak your native language anywhere on
campus to talk about people because someone will understand you.
3) Never set yourself up to be standing at the Starbucks
line between 10 am - 1 pm because there are 50 plus people trying to get a
coffee fix and you'll never make it to class on time.
Enter: Joseph Hyman, UMBC Mechanical Engineering major of
2011, and certified coffee fanatic.
Now, how exactly does one become a certified coffee
fanatic? You probably think that's just a flowery title to make this article
sound cool. No, Joseph Hyman is actually a certified coffee fanatic, so much so
that he and his team have created the next revolutionary coffee related
device, right next to the K-cup.
After a Kick-starter campaign with over 700 supporters and and $85,000 in Crowdfunding Pledges, Joseph has answered all of our hot-beverage prayers.
Meet MoJoe Brewing Co., one of the only companies that sell
a portable coffee mug and coffee maker in one. It gets better;
not only does this cup make coffee anywhere you go, it looks exactly like a
regular coffee mug, and it fits in your car's cup holder so it's not
inconvenient at all.
But wait, it gets even better. MoJoe's cup can be
charged in your car, an outlet, and even with a rechargeable battery! It's more
convenient than charging your phone. The cup is filled with any kind of water,
and will heat it up to more than 195 degrees Fahrenheit so your hot cup of
afternoon java isn't compromised just because you're busy.
MoJoe comes in 9 different color assortments for your
taste, and takes ground coffee as well
as coffee packets for convenience.
Joseph works with Ezekail Kolajo and Jingrui Wang, both UMBC
students/former students. With no business experience to work with, Joseph and
his team used the support and resources of the Alex Brown Center to guide his
way through the start up. In fact, you may even recognize him from our
Entrepreneurship Panel a year ago. He's been featured on Huffington Post,
Mashable, and the Baltimore Business Journal, and his product hasn't even
officially launched yet. After seeing this start up through, Joseph says,
"It makes the sleepless nights worth it".
We always knew UMBC alumni were
smart, but they just stole our hearts too.

Archives Gold #22: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
Albin O. Kuhn Bowling League Schedule
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a bowling schedule from the 1968 UMBC duckpin bowling league.
UMBC Faculty-Staff Bowling League Schedule, September 19, 1968. Collection 50, Series I: Faculty-Staff Bowling League 1968-1970, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
UMBC's first chancellor, Albin O. Kuhn, worked hard to be an active figure in the UMBC community. One way he did this was by participating in a UMBC duckpin bowling league in 1968. The league consisted of various members of the UMBC community including faculty, staff, and their spouses. Chancellor Kuhn and his wife, Libby, can be seen on the above 1968 bowling schedule, under Team 5 and Team 3 respectively.
To learn more visit our new exhibit in Special Collections Presidents, Past & Present: A Biographical Portrait which explores the lives and leadership of UMBC's five university presidents and chancellors!
