WHO I AM AND HOW I OPERATE:
I've been an avid home coffee roaster since 2004, always searching for high-quality, socially-responsible, and environmentally-sustainable green coffee beans. When I find them, I love to share them. I buy only current crop year, and move it from warehouse to my house to your house as fast as possible. I keep prices as low as I can. I'm retired, and this is something I do for the joy of it. Prompt and personal customer service is my commitment. I'll try to answer any questions, and give advice to start-up roasters. Just ask.
I stock coffee grown on farms that pay fair wages, practice sustainable agricultural, and improve their community. I've traveled to coffee-producing regions, and seen how people live. Growing coffee can and should improve people's lives and respect God's creation. Through my importers, I can document where the coffee comes from, and how that farm operates. I provide that information on every coffee page.
Customers often ask which coffee origins are my favorites. I'm hesitant to say. Coffee is a matter of personal taste, and what appeals to me may not appeal to you, and vice versa. Furthermore, coffee origins can vary widely from one season to the next, within the same country, region, or even on a particular estate or co-op. Every bag of coffee I buy has unique characteristics that may not be fully replicated again, due to variability of weather, processing, shipping conditions, and countless other factors. When I buy coffee, I seek out the origins that are most interesting to me at that time, and which come with high recommendations from my importers and their professional cuppers. Yet, part of the joy of roasting coffee is never knowing exactly what pleasant surprise awaits you when you take your first sip of a new batch.

Here's what some of my customers have to say about what I offer...
Phil, I just have to say, the quality of your service is surpassed only by the quality of your coffee! Superb! Thanks again for doing what you do! —Mary Anna
I'm enjoying all the great coffees every morning and have been buying from you for a long time now. I appreciate everything you do for us home roasters! Keep those amazing coffees coming! —Rick
Hello Phil, I want you to know that I love your coffee. It truly is the best. I would not and will not purchase from anyone else. Your research and info on the farmers is impressive. When I am away from home or traveling I am forced to buy roasted coffee of the shelves. I stopped by a chain coffee place on a recent drive and actually dumped the coffee it tasted so bad. I am so happy I can purchase green coffee in bulk from you and always am satisfied. As far as I am concerned your coffee sets the standard. --Robert
Always a pleasure! Your service and product are awesome! --Scott
Thank you Phil! We roast your beans and give them out as Christmas gifts. Then we tell folks how we roast them and where we buy our green beans from. Our friends and family LOVE your beans and our coffee! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! --Jamie & Matt
Thanks so much for providing this amazing coffee source to our area! I have so enjoyed the journey of learning to roast and supporting meaningful coops in the process. --Melanie
Thank you for doing a wonderful coffee business. It is great to do business with you and I very much appreciate the quality and pricing of your coffee beans, along with the quick service. --Gail
I think this is the best Kenya I have had in years. It makes stellar drip brew and an amazingly smooth espresso. Good stuff! --David
Your coffee rocks! The Kenya is amazing. I’ve had Ethiopian coffee in the past and it was great too! --Steven
Thank you for the wonderfully consistent and amazingly delicious beans! --Lois
