Founded in 2011 by Marta and Kevin Sprague, Noble Coyote Coffee Roasters began as a presence at local farmers markets before establishing a coffee lab in the Expo Park neighborhood of Dallas. The company emphasizes ethical trade and sustainability, aiming to act as a positive intermediary by supporting importers and farmers who prioritize fair compensation and investment in agricultural communities. The roasting process is led by co-owner Kevin Sprague, who approaches coffee production as a blend of scientific consistency and artistic intuition, drawing on his background as a musician to manage the timing and rhythm of the roast. Beyond roasting, the business is deeply involved in the local community through partnerships with organizations like Cafe Momentum and Meat Fight. They also prioritize consumer accessibility through their award-winning Brew Better Coffee education series, which is designed to help home brewers improve their coffee experience. The roastery maintains a physical location in Dallas where they serve drinks and engage directly with their customers.
