the story of

Appalachian Mountain Coffee

The Appalachian Mountain Coffee story begins with a young man named Merle, the master roaster, who enjoys challenges and things that require attention to detail. He was fascinated looking through Coffee Roasting catalogues and thought- how could I roast coffee without electricity? A book description caught his attention where it mentioned roasting coffee with anything from popcorn poppers to commercial roasters. He then purchased the book, Home Coffee Roasting- Romance & Revival by Kenneth Davids.

Merle began experimenting with popcorn poppers, cookie sheets and the kitchen oven. Once the volume of smoke was too much for the kitchen he moved the roasting into his Dad’s old woodworking shop still using cookie sheets, popcorn poppers, and battery fans for cooling the beans. Grinding was done with a hand crank grain grinder. There were a lot of challenges to obtaining an even roast on a cookie sheet.

8 Years Later...

After receiving state inspection, Merle upgraded to a stainless steel drum for roasting and a stainless steel cooler. An air-powered grinder replaced the hand-crank grinder. The skill and art is in the roasting itself, that is, to reach the desired roast level and stop right there. At Appalachian Mountain Coffee, this is done by listening to the crack of the beans in the roaster, watching the volume of smoke, and cooling the beans immediately. No computerized equipment – no electricity.

Today, 8+ years later, Appalachian Mountain Coffee is a 5-star rated family business nestled among the south-eastern hills of Snyder County, PA. Their dedication and passion for quality has resulted in a unique coffee experience with many loyal customers. They operate entirely off-grid.

We invite you to try this unique hand-roasted specialty coffee- and share it with family and friends.
