Coffee grinders We are the first and only coffee roaster in Kent. We are a small batch, artisan coffee roaster located in historic downtown Kent, Ohio. Our concept is simple. We seek out and start with only high quality Arabican green coffee beans and carefully roast them to perfection. We only source our coffee from people who are dedicated to taking an active role in all aspects of high quality coffee. By working closely with farmers and coffee cooperatives to improve techniques, share information and equipment, the quality of coffee becomes much better and benefits both the farmers and the coffee drinker. We seek out Fair Trade and organic coffees and carry them as much as possible. We are open six days a week and roast amazing coffees everyday.
