Why Rooster Brother


We cup all green coffee before we buy it. Our sample roaster and brewing lab allow us to evaluate green coffee thoroughly.


Each roast is carefully matched to the specific variety of coffee. There is only one “dark” roast, the rest are different levels of what is commonly referred to as “Full City”.


All mail order coffee is roasted specifically for your order, packed in heat-sealed foil valve bags and shipped, in the same day.


We actually answer the phone during business hours and enjoy serving you and answering your questions.


Only two people, Gene, and Ed, roast all the coffee in our Diedrich IR-12 roaster. We’ve been doing it since 1987.


We do not sell flavored coffee because we prefer the varietal character of each coffee. In addition, flavoring oils are very persistent and contaminate the grinder and containers.
