About My Company:
Ancora Coffee Roasters is a Small Batch Artisan Roaster in America's favorite isthmus...Madison, Wisconsin! George and Sue Krug started Ancora in 1993 after falling in love with specialty coffee and the industry during their years in Seattle. They started their dream business in eclectic Madison where Sue went to college and grew up on a nearby farm. Ancora was launched with George roasting in the cafe and Sue behind the bar. Today Ancora has 3 coffeehouses in Madison including the original King Street cafe downtown--which is now home to a Clover! We also wholesale our beans to independent coffeehouses and restaurants around the country.

    People in Whitewater like their mochas and caramel lattes but I am surprised that many of our customers love to taste the different coffees and then request thier favorites...since we brew by the cup. Favorites are Nicaragua, Sumatra, and Peaberry. When is the tasting with Ryan?

    Clover night sounds like lots of fun. I will have to check the calender. I did swing by a few weeks ago and try out an outstanding cup of Sumatra.

    Well, congrats to him and his wife! He was our rep when I was at the Daily Grind in Cambridge and I was hoping to reconnect with him for some feedback about a new venture I may be entering into. Is he in the office next week?

    No, I've never been, but I've heard great things. I know someone who used to live there and tattooed. She now owns a tattoo shop in Ithaca...
