Wicked Joe

Our mission is to roast and provide to our customers epic coffee, and to do it in a manner that is kind to both the earth and to the farmers who painstakingly grow our tasty beans. We only sell sustainable coffees that are Certified Fair Trade Organic, Bird Friendly, Shade Grown or by the Rainforest Alliance. What we really come to work for every day, though, is the sublime pleasure we get from a truly great cup of coffee. We’ve been roasting the world’s tastiest coffees for over 15 years, and we still can’t get enough of the good stuff! We may have learned and honed our craft on the west coast, but now we do all our roasting on the banks of the Androscoggin River in Brunswick, Maine where “vacationland” meets the stunning, island-studded Casco Bay, and we only use Maine Clean Power Plus Energy when we roast. Maybe that’s why our coffee tastes so clean, fresh, and delicious. At Wicked Joe our work begins when we select our green coffees. We choose our green beans based on quality (taste) alone. Coffee roasting is part art and part science. Each of our coffees is unique and our goal is to bring out the qualities that make each bean special. The differences are sometimes striking, sometimes subtle, yet always marvelous. To do this, we keep a separate roast profile (exact criteria for the time, temperature, and airflow changes to occur at different points during a roast) for each individual coffee. We then cup and taste every batch of beans we roast to ensure quality. Wicked Joe roasts all of our coffees on unconventional air convection roasters. As a result, Wicked Joe has a delightfully sweet aroma and a distinct, clean taste that is true to its exotic origin. Our single origin exotics, blends, decafs, and flavors are all exceptional. We bust our butts putting out the tastiest coffees around so you can sit back on yours and enjoy them. So kick back, relax and savor your Wicked good cup of Joe. Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death and sweet as love. -Turkish Proverb/Wicked Joe Philosophy
