People driving through East Montpelier are now experiencing the fresh new smell coming out from behind a farmhouse at 2817 US Rte 2. This is how we make our coffee taste so fresh!  Beans are fresh roasted daily.

We roast our own coffee in order to serve our customers the best, and freshest, cup of coffee possible. Our Diedrich roaster is "fired up" several times each week to roast the finest quality arabica beans. Our beans are obtained only through the most reliable coffee brokers.

Why do we roast our coffee so often? After it's roasted, coffee begins a slow deterioration caused by contact with air and moisture. This is why coffee is best when purchased as you need it and stored in a cool, dry place.

When coffee beans are roasted they undergo a chemical change that brings out distinct characteristics that every coffee has. As beans are roasted the level of acidity (that "zing" specific to many good coffees) and body emerge. The longer the roast, the more oils come to the surface, displaying a dark and shinier bean. Just look at the difference between a Full City Roast and a batch of beans roasted to a French Roast.
