About
Gnosis Coffee Roasters is a one-person roastery in central Pennsylvania run by founder Jed Epler, roasting small batches of specialty coffee on a Typhoon fluid bed air roaster rather than the usual drum. The lineup stays deliberately small: mostly single origins, a couple of blends, roasted fresh to order and shipped free over $40.
Our Story
Jed Epler got into specialty coffee in 2010, hired to launch and manage a new coffee house in central Pennsylvania with, by his own account, plenty to learn. He trained at a barista school in Portland, Oregon, and it was a first sip of an Ethiopian coffee there that changed his mind about what black coffee could taste like. After a few years running the coffee house and a year out in California, he came back to Lewisburg, where he grew up, and went to work for a local roasting company, eventually becoming its head roaster. In early 2022 he left to found Gnosis and focus on roasting. The mission is to showcase what is already in the bean rather than roast over it, which is also why he roasts on a Typhoon fluid bed air roaster: 100% convection heat gives a more even roast, and brighter, more pronounced flavors, than the conduction and convection mix of a drum.
