When we started to approach coffee and the impact that it can have with others, we kept coming back to the fact that we so often share a cup of coffee with someone. Whether you need to share something difficult or something joyful, conversation and coffee go hand in hand. Sipping a warm cup of coffee is an easy way to digress when you’re still figuring out the right words to say. Chatting becomes easier when we have a warm cup to hold, and it even makes self reflection more enjoyable. This is why we chose the name- Anechó.
Anechó comes from Ephesians 4:2 in which it states: “with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.” Anechó: Forbear, Forbearance [Verb] anecho “to hold up” (ana, “up,” echo, “to have or hold”), is used in the Middle Voice in the NT, signifying “to bear with, endure;” it is rendered “forbearing (one another)” in Ephesians 4:2. Bearing with and upholding one another as we share a cup of coffee is our focus, because caffeine and community is better together.
