Freshly roasted coffee being stirred on a cooling tray

Roasted by the harbor, poured all over Maine

Seventeen years of small batches on Commercial Street. We roast twice a week, taste every batch, and send it out while it still smells like the roastery.

Our roaster is older than most of our staff. It is slow, it is loud, and it gives the roast master time to listen for first crack. Every batch is logged by hand before it is cupped.
