During the summer and on college breaks they’d meet up, work on and talk about Lance’s latest inventions. Lance was a railroad engineer turned inventor. He invented the baseball bat carousel, later modified to display pool cues and fishing poles and the machine that makes the slotted walls for retail displays.

Over the years, it got Bill to thinking about what he could invent. It came to him one morning.

Making the day’s first cup of coffee, he spilled water all over the place, which is very frustrating at 5:30am in the morning. After much thought and a few wet towels he asked himself, “What could make life easier and better?” The solution came to him.

Since Lance was a proven inventor, Bill told him about idea for making the first truly built-in the wall coffee system.

In response, Lance gave him an enthusiastic two thumbs up, a lot of encouragement and planned to work on the Brew Express full-time with Bill to bring this revolutionary product to the market.

Lance passed on before the concept of the Brew Express became reality.

The company’s name honors Lance’s life and contribution by combining his first name and Bill’s middle name into Lance-Larkin.

Brew Express

Brew Express is Lance-Larkin's patented new invention, born out of Bill Spencer's channeled frustration into building a better coffeemaker. His vision was coffee made simple: installed in the wall and plumbed in, with internal timer and fully programmable.

Brew Express is the first of a line of appliances planned to simplify your life. Bookmark this site and visit us periodically to witness the birth of other revolutionary inventions.
