Coffee by Gillespie LLC

Great coffee motivates and inspires. Many favorite memories are shared over a cup. That's why we take our coffee seriously. Select the best raw coffee. Roast it artfully. Brew it for the best flavor. Coffee by Gillespie, the pride and passion of Christopher Gillespie, was founded to share his experience with delicious coffee with you. It all started when a new coffee roaster opened in Christopher's hometown during high school. His coffee journey began with the memory of smoke billowing onto Main Street every Tuesday, a haunting image. Fast-forward 15 years, and he tackled home roasting by hacking and burning through air poppers. Even though it was often frustrating and unreliable, he developed a refined palate for a perfect roast. Christopher purchased his first serious roaster, the Behmor 1600+, and his journey continued. He discovered the amazing range of flavors and aromas in beans from Sweet Maria's curated sample packs. Every bean is different, and Christopher developed roast profiles to best reveal the best of each coffee. After sharing his coffee with family and friends, they encouraged him to produce coffee commercially. Coffee by Gillespie was born. We strive to source the highest quality specialty coffee. Farmers are rewarded for quality, dedication, and sustainable farming practices. As a specialty coffee roaster, we pay above fair trade prices for the ingredients we source. We strive to create sustainability by supporting a farm's ability to invest in future crops and improve conditions for workers and their families. Nearly all our coffee is direct trade, single-origin, and often small-lot. Regardless of its certification, the coffee we select allows us to bring a genuinely unique experience to each cup we share. We have dedicated ourselves to perfecting roast profiles that maximize the natural essence of every bean. There is nothing automated or factory-like about our work. We use a fluid-bed, computer-controlled roaster for consistency and quality. It is and will always be a craftsman's venture. We roast on demand and ship within two business days of your order. Your coffee ships and arrives at your doorstep at the peak of its flavor. Simply measure, grind, and brew with your favorite device. Sip, savor, and enjoy great coffee! While we don't have a café, we'd love to be served in your shop, business, church, or school.
