Our Coffee
Roasted on antique machines. Sourced through the Port of New Orleans.
Coast Roast Coffee was born in 2009 on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Every batch is drum-roasted on 1910s Royal No. 6 roasters. These are the kind of machines that demand patience and reward attention. Kevin sources all green beans through the Port of New Orleans, keeping the supply chain as local as the coffee is personal.
