About Us

 

We are Roebuck Coffee Roasters!

 

RCR was founded in 2023 by partners Eleni Lampropoulos and Rebecca Crysler-Millard.

We believe that great coffee starts with understanding its origins; our journey began with a desire to bring transparency, equality, and appreciation for the complexity of the agricultural process that fills every cup... and good coffee too. 

 

Our Values

Transparency: We aim for honesty and openness at every step of the coffee journey. From sourcing to roasting, we strive to provide clear information about our beans, their origins, and the people behind them.

 

Equality: We are committed to promoting fair practices that benefit everyone involved, from the farmers who develop the coffee plants to the person having their first (or eighth) cup of our coffee. We are a female, LGBTQ+ owned and operated business. We desire to create a more equitable coffee industry. 

 

Complexity in Agriculture: Coffee is more than just a beverage; it's the result of intricate agricultural processes that require skill, dedication, and respect for nature. No two crops will ever be the same, nor would we want them to be. The smallest change in any step along the way can have a massive impact on each harvest. We respect the ever changing environment, and embrace the changes that come with it. We strive to share this appreciation with every coffee lover.

 

Our Process

At RCR, we are constantly on the lookout for our next favourite coffee. We sample every green coffee we can, experimenting with our known favourites, and new origins along the way. 

Once we find a coffee we are excited to share, the next step is our roasting process, where science and intuition meet. With our ever growing network of coffee friends, and the team at KW Coffee Collective, we roast each batch individually to bring out the unique flavours and nuances of each coffee.

 

Our Commitment

As we and our impact on the world grow, we are dedicated to culturally and environmentally responsible practices. We will always be looking to minimize our environmental impact, and promoting the growth of local and indigenous communities from where we source our coffees.

 

 

Regardless of how you stumbled upon us, we welcome you to the Roebuck Family. We hope you enjoy our coffee, and look forward to sharing a cup with you soon.
