Our Story
Our story is rather simple: it started with the love of coffee. After spending 30 years in Information Technology, initially as a Junior Programmer rising to an Executive, coffee was a staple, an essential part of the IT toolbox. Its complexity became evident as I traveled between states and abroad; it simply did not taste the same, and European coffee topped the charts. Intrigued by the differences, I began researching the many diverse varietals of coffee beans in my spare time. After retiring from the IT world in 2015, I was up for a new challenge: how about turning my passion for coffee into a business? I started by blending a variety of beans with various roasting techniques to come up with several blends, then sought out a roaster to produce my recipes to my standards, and here we are today. Guilford Roasting Company is named for the shoreline town in Connecticut where I have lived and raised my family the past 26 years. I certainly hope you enjoy my blends of coffee as much as I enjoyed creating them.
