One day, while hanging out at the coolest coffee shop in our little town, I had a conversation with a barista who spoke passionately about the origins of their coffee and the intricacies of roasting. I realized that coffee wasn’t just a drink; it was a story waiting to be told, from the coffee farmers to the mugs we hold in our hands. So what did I do? I bought a coffee roaster and a variety of green beans, and with each batch I experimented with different flavor profiles. Refining my skills fueled an insatiable curiosity.

There’s a profound beauty in transforming raw green beans into flavorful roasts. Each batch was an adventure, an opportunity, to intersect tradition with innovation; thus, Altered Grounds Coffee Roasters was born.
