Our Story
OUR STORY
Overland Roast was born from my love for coffee, my partner’s encouragement, and a bit of unexpected time on my hands. After losing my job during the challenging times of the pandemic, I began roasting coffee on a popcorn popper, and as my skills grew, I wanted to share my passion with others.
OUR UNIQUE ROASTING PROCESS AND WHY IT MATTERS
We’ve come a long way from learning to roast coffee on an air popcorn popper. Today, we use a fluid bed roaster, which utilizes 100% hot, clean air to create a convection-based roasting process. As the beans are lifted and suspended in the air stream, they heat evenly, shedding unwanted particles like burnt chaff and broken fragments. This method preserves the beans' natural flavors and aromas, resulting in a bright, vibrant cup. With rapid heat transfer and precise control, we ensure each batch maintains the consistent quality that our customers love.
WHY WHOLE BEANS?
At Overland Roast, we believe that coffee should be savored at its freshest. That’s why we prefer to offer whole beans rather than pre-ground coffee. Once coffee is ground, it begins to lose its vibrant aroma and complex flavor as it oxidizes. Grinding your coffee right before brewing not only releases a burst of enticing aromas but also allows you to customize the grind size to suit your brewing method—whether you prefer a French press, drip coffee maker, or espresso machine. This simple step ensures that every cup captures the full potential of our carefully sourced single origin beans, delivering a richer, more nuanced flavor profile.
OUR COMMITMENT
We are passionate about bringing you the best coffee experience possible. We specialize in single origin coffee, carefully sourcing beans from unique regions known for their rich, distinct flavors. Each batch tells a story, allowing you to explore the world one cup at a time. Micro roasting ensures that every bean is roasted with the utmost care and attention. And because the fluid bed roaster is more environmentally friendly, it helps us stay true to our values of sustainability and innovation, ensuring that each cup of coffee you enjoy is as mindful as it is delicious.
ON DEMAND ROASTING
Freshness isn’t just a promise—it’s our practice. As a micro roaster, we roast each batch on demand, ensuring that the coffee arriving at your door is at the peak of its flavor and aroma. While we work diligently to process your order as quickly as possible, please note that sometimes it might take a couple of days to roast your coffee before it’s delivered or shipped (shipping time is additional).
We’re also all about customization. If you have a specific roast preference for your favorite single origin bean, just let us know. We’re always eager to tailor our process to your unique taste, delivering a cup that’s crafted just for you.
