The Coffee Roaster
Celebrating 29 years of air roasting specialty coffee in Lincoln, Nebraska! He wanted to show Lincoln the way he believed coffee should taste.
In the early 1990's, Gary Karnes started developing his palette by searching the world for the best cup of coffee.

Did you know we now carry V60 pour overs? The V60's conical shape allows for deeper layering of coffee grounds, and its spiral ridges and lack of flow restriction allow the user to pour water quickly for a delicate body, or slowly for a heavier flavor. 😎

This mighty small glass carafe pairs perfectly with any single serve pour over. We‘re so excited to enjoy making coffee with this carafe on a chilly fall morning. 🍂

Whether you’re enjoying a cup at home or dialing in a pour-over on bar, this mighty carafe gets the job done and then some. Pair with Stagg [X] Dripper’s ratio aid and stop at the 300 ml dot to ace the coffee-to-water ratio, every time.

During our remodeling process we have had to let go of some beloved items that just didn't fit the space anymore. Over the years, many of you have commented on this antique seed cabinet. Changing Spaces SRS is selling it on their online auction this week so if you would like this little piece of history, now is your chance! If you click the link to see more photos, you will see that is comes with green coffee beans on the display end of the cabinet 😀

We like to compare our Brazilian coffee to a chocolate peanut butter cup. The cup is full bodied with rich notes of peanuts and cocoa. Satisfy your cravings with a scrumptious cup of Brazilian coffee! 😋

STOP! 🛑 We have officially moved our beans to our expanded retail space! When you stop by, use the door to your right to find us. If you go in the usual door, you will be met by an empty, loud and very dusty room. 😅
WE CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU TO SEE OUR NEW SPACE! 🥳 *peep Sam filling orders for the first time in the expanded area!*

If you have been in this week, you have seen that we are under construction and our retail side is a little bare! We are still open normal hours BUT if getting coffee is on your list this next week, we recommend placing an order for pick up or delivery due to the noise of construction and getting our bearings in the new space. We are offering FREE delivery as an incentive all next week!! We still deliver Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons.
Our remodel won’t be complete when we move to the middle space in the building but it’s a big step and we are excited for you all to see it!

Buying ✨small batch✨ roasted coffee is the way to go! 👍🏽
1️⃣ Smaller roasters allow for more technical control.
2️⃣ Your roasted beans are days old, not months old on the shelf!
3️⃣ Greater opportunity to bring out the intricate flavor notes in each coffee.
4️⃣ WAY harder to hide bean defects and bad batches (AKA you know you’re getting a great batch!)
Ditch the big name supermarket coffee and experience SMALL BATCH roasted coffee today!
