Loving the Specialty Coffee Industry - Roasting coffee makes me happy!

About My Company:

LaGrange Coffee Roasters - we are a grass roots operation - word of mouth marketing until we have a good following locally. www.smellthesmoke.net At LaGrange Coffee Roasters, we make every effort to educate coffee lovers about truly fresh specialty coffee. We, along with many other small coffee roasters want to help put the "special" back in specialty coffee.

It's different for everyone. Everyone has a different idea about what coffee "should" be, or how coffee "should" taste. To each his own! You like coffee with cream, I like espresso - both are happy!!!
