About Dave's Coffee Roasters

I've always enjoyed good food, good drink and great coffee. As a self-proclaimed foodie and passionate home cook, I was naturally drawn into the world of specialty coffee. The abundance of coffees, grown around the world and roasted to varying degrees was intriguing. And like exceptional wines, I learned that altitude, climates, drying methods and harvest seasons all played an important role in the flavor profiles of different coffees. I started a small cafe in the back room of a historic 1740 farmhouse in Charlestown Rhode Island in 1998. For several years, I purchased roasted coffees from various small batch roasters across the country to serve at our cafe. During this time, I continued educating myself about coffee growing regions, the roasting process and refining my pallet to distinguish subtle notes in flavor profiles. Then in 2009 a new chapter in the Dave’s Coffee story began when I started roasting our own coffee. This new endeavor opened up limitless possibilities of sourcing coffees from around the world and roasting them exactly as we thought they should be to bring out the best flavor and characteristics. Although Dave’s Coffee has grown over the years, we take pride in the fact that our focus remains on the coffee growers and on our small batch roasting style. All Dave’s coffees are roasted weekly to order and shipped fresh.Read their story
