From Judo Champion to Coffee Life: How the AI Coffee Bean Sorter Machine Became a Turning Point

Life is like a cup of coffee—its bitterness and sweetness intertwine to create true flavor. Kevin Huang, once a national judo athlete, was left paralyzed from the waist down after an accident. Instead of giving up, he carried the spirit of an athlete into the specialty coffee world, founding his own brand, Coffee Life. Today, he shares hope and persistence through every cup of good coffee.

From Athlete to Coffee Artisan

Kevin started from scratch, learning the basics of hand sorting and gradually mastering the coffee sorting process and coffee roasting process. He understood that a single damaged coffee bean—whether insect damaged, fungus coffee bean, or broken coffee bean—could ruin an entire cup. To offer customers healthy coffee and only good beans, he insisted on rigorous bean sorting.

“Every coffee bean should make the customer feel it’s worth it. If I wouldn’t be satisfied myself, I won’t sell it.” — Kevin Huang

The Change Brought by the AI Coffee Bean Sorter

In the early days, Kevin and his family spent countless hours on hand sorting. With the arrival of the AI coffee bean sorter and intelligent coffee sorting technology, efficiency improved dramatically. From traditional coffee sorting machines to advanced coffee color sorting machines, technology helped him save nearly half the time and focus on product development and customer service.

  • Quickly remove defective beans such as insect damaged, fungus, or broken beans
  • Time saving and labor saving compared to manual sorting
  • Ensure consistency that meets SCA coffee grading standards

Why does Kevin insist on “never selling what he wouldn’t drink”?

For Kevin, coffee is more than a drink—it’s a promise to his customers. Before shipping, he always asks himself: “If this coffee came to me, would I be satisfied?” This principle ensures every cup from Coffee Life represents coffee quality and trust.

How tough was hand sorting coffee beans?

Before using machines, Kevin and his family spent hours to sort coffee beans manually—first at the green bean sorting stage, and again after roasting. The process was exhausting and time-consuming, making him deeply aware of the hard work behind every bag of specialty coffee.

How did the AI coffee bean sorter machine transform Kevin’s work?

When the coffee sorter machine was introduced, Kevin realized he could save at least half the time. The machine pre-sorted the coffee green beans, leaving him to only check the roasted beans. This freed up time to reach new customers and expand Coffee Life online, giving his brand room to grow.

The Persistence and Future of Coffee Life

For Kevin, giving up was harder than moving forward. He hopes to bring people not only the best coffee flavor but also inspiration. From hand sorting to AI green coffee bean sorting machines, from a demo coffee roasting machine at home to intelligent sorting solutions like CS One and CS Lite, his journey proves: “If you don’t give up, you will find your unique flavor.”

Every cup of Coffee Life represents both the determination of an athlete and the dedication of a coffee craftsman. With the help of AI green coffee bean sorters and color sorting technology, Kevin’s story continues to grow, roasting “Coffee Life” into chapters of resilience and hope.
