About

Superior Coffee Roasting Company has been roasting on the shores of Lake Superior in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan since 2012, serving the Upper Peninsula and beyond. Founder Ron Kurnik built the company around single origins, house blends and all-natural flavored coffees, roasted retail and wholesale out of the Ashmun Street roasting shop. Coffee and water run together here: 100% of the net proceeds from the Freshwater Fusion Blend go to the Lake Superior Watershed Conservancy.

Our Story

Roasted on the shores of Lake Superior. Incorporated in 2012 on the shores of the world's largest freshwater lake (by surface area), the coffee roasting business with its namesake set sail and began the journey of bringing fresh roasted coffee to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and beyond. Superior Coffee Roasting Co. continues to grow and succeed because of the great staff and coffee roasting professionals we have who know the art of creating an amazing, consistent, and flavorful product, combined with customer service that is, well, also superior. We offer a variety of services both retail and wholesale. Call us the Goldilocks company if you will: not so large that quality and attention to detail get overlooked, and not so small that we lack the capacity to fill orders quickly. We're just the right size. Meet the owner: it is hard to say if there was ever a single eureka moment that launched the business, but one thing is certain: Ron Kurnik loves coffee and loves to build a brand. With more than 20 years of business experience, what motivates him each day is creating a product people can thoroughly enjoy and be excited to share with others. "The coffee world is not a static one. We're always interested and keeping on top of what's developing and happening with coffee, and in the process bringing a great finished product to our customers." Ron has traveled around the globe gaining an appreciation for the industry, from small coffee farming in Northern Panama, to trade and transport logistics, and ultimately roasting and distributing the final product. Clean water. Great coffee. Coffee and water are deeply intertwined, from the water used to grow and process the beans, to the fact that a cup of coffee is also 99% water. We're committed to crafting exceptional coffee while supporting freshwater protection and conservation locally and around the world.
