Finally, a Fresh Coffee Subscription That Puts You in Control

Tired of coffee subscriptions that send you whatever they have left over? You’re not alone. Over 98% of coffee subscription services operate on a “Roaster’s Choice” model—meaning you don’t get to pick what you receive, and worse, the coffee may not even be freshly roasted.

At Toomer’s Coffee Roasters, we do things differently.

Then we roast your coffee just before shipping it directly to your door, the way you want it.

Give us a shot!

Are you looking for a great coffee shop in the Auburn and Opelika area to call home? Well give us a shot! (pun intended 🙂 ) We are located at 1619 Thomason Drive, Opelika, AL (Google Maps link) and open Monday thru Friday from 7 am until 4 pm.

A Short History

Toomer’s Coffee Shop has been a retail presence in the Auburn and Opelika specialty coffee market since 2004 when they opened their first coffee shop in downtown Opelika.

Since 2004 we have continued to grow and expand year over year into markets outside of Alabama.  Our coffees have been sold to clients in all fifty states plus Puerto Rico, Guam, Germany and to our troops and others serving in overseas.

Sandy is co-owner along with his wife Trish. He is also Roastmaster and in that role since 2006.

In 2013 we sold our original retail shop [contents] and temporarily licensed the right to use our name until 2016 when that license agreement expired.  Simultaneously beginning in 2013 on we focused on growing our wholesale audience and brands nationwide and in 2018 we purchased our own building in Opelika for our wholesale roasting operations with plans to re-open our retail coffee shop presence in that location eventually.

So here we are in the Fall of 2019 and that hope and dream is now a reality

We are now open Monday thru Friday 7 AM until 4 PM.  We are also planning an official Grand Opening and official Ribbon Cutting sometime in November.

Where do coffee beans come from?

toomers_coffee_roasters_coffee_cherry

First, there are two types of coffee beans

Coffee beans come from two basic versions of coffee plants: either the Robusta ( aka Coffea robusta, or Coffea canephora) or Arabica (aka Coffea arabica) version.

At Toomer’s Coffee Roasters we do not roast or sell Robusta beans. I once asked our coffee broker how much Robusta they sell and she said less that 5% of their total volume is Robusta. While it is higher in caffeine content (the main reason I guess a dubious roaster might add it..to jack up the “vibrancy” of their blends), the overall taste issues and roasting peculiarities she said make it a less than desirable option.

Arabica beans on the other hand, while lower in caffeine content have a number of factors that make them the number #1 preference amongst 99% of roasters today, taste being the main factor.  But we will cover that in a later articel specifically on Arabica beans.

They start life as a fruit

Coffee beans start out “Cherries” (Click to enlarge)

Arabica beans are grown on low (3-6 feet) shrubby plants that bear white blossoms that produce the coffee fruit called “cherries” (about the size and color of cranberries).

These coffee cherries are clustered along the limbs of the plant ( See image).  The cherries are harvested from approximately October through January each year.  Since the coffee cherries do not ripen together, several pickings of the the same plant may be required until all of the cherries have been harvested at the peak of ripenness.

This is the first step in the chain of factors that seperates fair coffee from truly exceptional coffee: only picking the red cherries.  Mixing in under-ripe/ greenish cherries with red cherries will result in bitter coffee no matter how well it is roasted.

In our next article we will talk about the regions beans are grown in and how that affects flavor.

Why not try some of our Micro-Roasted coffees from around the world. These Specialty House Blends are legacy blends in our line up for 14 years. Order 5 bags and shipping is free anywhere in the Continental US too!
