Independence Coffee Co.
in-de-'pen-den(t)s/n the quality or state of being independent:
FREEDOM
Independence is definately a state of mind! It means not being 'bound' by others' conventions and rules. We relish the opportunity to do things a little differently than other coffee roasters. We are glad you found us!
We hope that our website furnishes you with all of the information on us as well as our products and services that you'll need to help make your decision to let us roast the 'perfect' cup for you. It wasn't long ago that I, like some of you, just settled for a cup of coffee that was just enough to get me by, so to speak. The flavor, color and aroma was tolerable at best, but the caffeine content was high and got me 'jump-started' and through a hectic day. Since then I have fallen in love with every aspect of this commodity. I have a true passion for the trading and roasting processes and have spent a lot of time trying to achieve the ultimate roast for myself and others only to find that everyones' taste is different and that 'favorites' change with the seasons and one's current mood and state of mind. My experience with coffee has been one of total astonishment as well. After reading several books on the subject (we have added a couple of them in the resources section), I found that from its early beginnings, coffee has had a profound affect on the world. It has been used by leaders of both ancient and not so ancient times as both a 'sword' and a political 'demon' to accomplish goals and increase power. It has made many men and their countries very rich while devastating others' whole economies with its political and economical volatility.

Roaster
How WE ROAST
Independence roasts all of its selections in very small batches (usually 10 lbs. or less). This allows us more control of quality in the roasting process as well as ensuring total freshness. No coffee sits unused in our roastery! Our coffee is 'profile' roasted which is slower and more labor intensive than other processes. This ensures that each batch has consistent characteristics every time. We roast almost every day, depending on order flow.
