Lifeboost Coffee is an American coffee company based in Noblesville, Indiana.[3] Founded in 2015 by chiropractor Charles Livingston, the company markets low-acid, organically grown coffees; independent coverage has described the brand’s positioning around third-party purity testing and a health-oriented niche.[2][4]
History
[edit]Lifeboost Coffee was founded in 2015 by Livingston, who began selling low-acid beans online sourced from Central America.[2] In 2017, after its initial supplier paused production, the company expanded its sourcing to additional small farms across the region that met its criteria, allowing it to continue scaling.[2] By 2021, annual revenue reached about $24.4 million, up roughly 866% from 2019, according to the Indianapolis Business Journal.[1] The brand has appeared on the Inc. 5000 lists, including No. 29 in 2022, reflecting rapid growth among U.S. private companies.[3]
Products and sourcing
[edit]Lifeboost offers single-origin roasts sourced in Central America, with USDA organic and shade-grown practices at high elevation.[2] Batches are roasted in the United States, and independent coverage notes the brand promotes third-party testing for contaminants such as molds, mycotoxins, heavy metals, and pesticides.[4] Offerings include light, medium, dark, and decaf roasts, among other variations.[1]
Reception and recognition
[edit]In a 2025 editorial review, Reviewed.com described Lifeboost’s coffee as smooth and high-quality while noting that broad health claims about coffee purity and toxins are difficult to substantiate.[4] The company’s growth has been recognized by Inc. through multiple Inc. 5000 rankings, including its 2022 placement at No. 29.[3] Regionally, the Indianapolis Business Journal featured Lifeboost in its “Fast 25” list for fast-growing companies in 2022.[1]
