Summary
Forty Weight Coffee Roasters
is the product of many years spent daydreaming over hot cups of coffee
in breakfast spots and cafes around the world. Owner/Operator Andrew
Ballard built Forty Weight on his passion/skill for sourcing, roasting
and drinking the finest coffees on earth. The genesis of Forty Weight
Coffee Roasters was long and hard, but it led us to be the strong
uncompromising company that we are today. Forty Weight Coffee Roasters
is on the front lines of third wave coffee; educating, inspiring -
leading the movement to evolve our industry.
We focus the majority of our
purchasing resources on coffees produced by small family farms, where
owners/workers reap the financial benefits of the specialty-coffee-boom
that is occurring worldwide. We have incredible access to the most
ridiculous coffees on the market; we don’t take this privilege lightly.
Once our beans are sourced/purchased, we treat them to small batch
roasting (1-10 lbs), and offer them to our customers at peak freshness
for a reasonable price. We are able to do this thanks in part to our
small size, and to the gracious support we receive from our friends,
family, and coffee lovers like you.
