Hi! I am Steve G., Founder, Owner, and current roaster of Boiled Owl Coffee.
It all began for me when I tasted some horrible coffee that many other seemed to be drinking with impunity. Disgusting I thought. This was in early 1992.
Then I tried some other coffees from other roasters and found a few that I really enjoyed. Since then I have been exploring coffees from around the world and roasters from around the US. Studying and learning, which I very much still am, I gravitated towards the ones that I really liked and thought were consistently flavorful. I learned how they were roasting their beans, and where they we're getting them from.
Initially my desire to roast coffee began in my back yard and on my front porch down here in Flossmoor, IL. I still roast from here as we await our initial store/shop. I read a few books, watched many videos of roasters, of different equipment, different beans, different methods and came to the conclusion that I could do this and I wanted to do this.
A special thanks to Debbie Starrett for the exquisite design of our renowned Boiled Owl Coffee Logo.
With much to learn and experience, I set out on a course to deliver the best tasting, highest quality small batch roast-to-order coffee we can make.
Boiled Owl is a wonderful work in progress. Hope you enjoy!.
