144 Roastery is a small-batch independent coffee roaster in College Park, Maryland, roasting fresh single-origin coffees and espresso blends just outside Washington, DC.
144 Roastery is a one-person, small-batch operation run to a simple rule: life is too short to drink bad coffee. Coffee is roasted fresh (and only when ordered) in small batches on a roaster affectionately named Melvin, with a focus on freshness and constant learning. Based inside the Beltway near College Park, it ships fresh to the DC region and beyond.
An all-Arabica espresso blend built to mimic classic Italian street-corner espresso: robust, balanced acidity, smooth finish. Good with milk.
