ROASTERY
Locally roasting since 2009
Roasting coffee isn’t something we learned from a textbook. It’s something we learned by doing it — batch after batch — paying attention to what worked and what didn’t.
At Koco Java, we roast in small batches because it lets us stay involved in the process. We’re not trying to push out as much coffee as possible. We’d rather take our time, make adjustments, and stop a roast when it tastes right instead of when a timer says it’s done.
Being in a small town like Salisbury, NC shapes how we do things. We’re close to our customers, and we drink the same coffee we sell every day. If something isn’t right, we notice. If something’s great, it stays. That feedback loop matters to us.
We focus on coffee that’s balanced, easy to enjoy, and consistent. Nothing overly roasted, nothing overly fussy. Just coffee that smells good when you brew it and tastes the way coffee should when you take that first sip.
When you order coffee from us, it’s not coming from a massive warehouse or sitting around for months. It’s roasted here, with intention, by people who care how it ends up tasting in your cup.
That’s really it. No gimmicks. Just good coffee, roasted carefully, in a small town that still believes doing things the right way matters.
