Radio Roasters Coffee

Established in 2014 by former NPR producer Chip Grabow, Radio Roasters Coffee operates as an ongoing experiment in sourcing and roasting coffee. The company aims to provide a variety of flavor profiles, ranging from bright, crisp, and balanced coffees to smooth, chocolatey options and adventurous selections featuring notes of tropical fruits, berries, or stone fruit. Radio Roasters maintains relationships with various importers, producers, and cooperatives to connect with specific growers and smallholder farms across origins including Ethiopia, Kenya, Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico. By sharing these coffees with their community, the roaster seeks to broaden the understanding of the effort required to produce high-quality coffee. The business operates out of Decatur, Georgia, where they maintain a consistent roast schedule throughout the week. Their approach is characterized by a commitment to quality and a desire to raise awareness of better coffee, drawing inspiration from the eclectic nature of independent radio broadcasting.
