Since 2004, Carrboro Coffee Roasters , with over 25 years of combined experience in roasting & the retail coffee industry, has been Chapel Hill/Carrboro's premiere small batch coffee roaster. Carrboro Coffee is a local business with a worldwide reach that focuses on, works within, and gives back to the community they live in, and the world at large. Along with that all important consideration of finding the best quality and tasting coffee in the world; they source thru Direct Relationships with the farmers, and offer Certified Organic & Fair Trade coffees. They are also careful to source coffee that is grown and processed humanely, and allows the farmers the means to live decently. Owner Scott Conary regularly travels to coffee growing countries around the world to establish and support their Direct Relationship model. At Carrboro Coffee Roasters, they are constantly working on finding the best roast profiles for each new coffee before selling them. Each roast is individually tailored to the specific needs of the coffee—they let the coffee tell them how to roast it, rather than impose a standard 'style' or roast degree. Every coffee is different and must be respected for its unique characteristics…at Carrboro Coffee Roasters, they feel this is their most important responsibility after farmer relationship building—to act on behalf of the coffee and ensure that all of its intrinsic glory can be realized in the cup.
