Silver Bean Coffee
While recovering from her 2007 knee injury, Bahrke and her fiancée Matt Happe founded a coffee roasting company in Salt Lake City called Silver Bean Coffee. She offers a complete line of hand roasted earth friendly coffee. In addition to ski-themed coffee blends such as Last Chair Decaf, Powder Blend, and the Experts Only Blend, the company also sells coffees to support US ski team members and their charities. Over 20 US skiers including 2006 Olympic giant slalom gold medalist Julia Mancuso and 2009 Nordic combined world champion Bill Demong have their own coffees, and a portion of the proceeds goes to the athlete and their charity of choice. Silver Bean also sells Best Friend Blends; for every bag of these coffees, five dollars go to Bahrke's charity of choice, the Best Friends Animal Society.

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or coffee:
“Sing, siren, for thyself, and I will dote;
Spread o’er the silver waves thy golden hairs,
And as a bed I’ll take them, and there lie.”

“you who put gum in my coffee cup
and worms in my Jell-O, you who let me pretend
you were daddy of the poets, witchman, you stand
for all, for all the bad dead, a Salvation Army Band
who plays for no one. I am cement. The bird in me is blind
as I knife out your name and all your dead kind.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
