Roast Magazine - May 2010Since 1987, we've been in the business of custom roasting. We pride ourselves on the fact that we roast only to order, that means you get your beans within hours of being roasted. Unlike most coffee that spends its best days expiring on a shelf, your coffee arrives at your door in its prime (before the staling process has even begun).

We don’t even use fancy packaging because it’s not necessary when it’s this fresh.

Our operation is low tech, processing all orders by hand from start to finish. There is no fancy computerized equipment roasting your coffee at the push of a button, just a guy who knows coffee, an antique roaster, and his skill using it. The result is a hand crafted, custom roasted pound of coffee unlike any you've tried before.

If you are not in full agreement after tasting a cup of our coffee, we will replace it with another selection, or refund your money, no problem.

Our reputation is our guarantee and only form of advertising.
