JACKSON COFFEE CO., Merchants of Fine Coffees and Teas
The JACKSON COFFEE CO. was started in response to the need for a local roaster of exceptional quality coffees. Located in historic Jackson, Michigan, we focus on freshness, beef quality, and openness with our customers.
We operate with this goal in mind: To provide the highest quality coffees available. With our experience and passion for coffee, we offer unparalleled customer support and service.
We are dedicated to providing freshly roasted coffee, freshly brewed coffee, and great tasting bakery products in a real coffee house atmosphere. We accomplish this by roasting coffee, fresh daily, in our store. Each day, our coffee is roasted in-house with beans of the highest quality from the finest coffee-producing regions around the world. Freshness is one of our main focuses when roasting such specialty varieties of coffee.
We use a traditional European-style drum roaster. This method ensures that each batch of coffee that we roast is roasted to perfection. Because of our attention to detail, and careful roasting techniques, we can take great pride in the art of roasting each batch that bears our name consistently. This is why we are happy to invite you to come in and discover what we mean when we say "fresher is better".
The JACKSON COFFEE CO. is committed to bringing you the finest coffees. What does this mean? This means that we do not sell the same roasted coffees found getting stale on shelves at gourmet shops, delis, and supermarkets. We buy our coffees green (unroasted), from coffee brokers across the country in order to bring you a large variety of the finest coffees at affordable prices.
Also, we do something that very few coffee shops do. We carefully roast our coffees in our own store, in very small batches each and every day. We do this in order to bring you a variety of coffees that are always fresh. Did you know that, with each day that passes after the beans are roasted, coffee is losing its flavor? Age makes all the difference in the quality of the coffee that you are paying for! A happy consequence of roasting our own coffee is that our prices are as good as our coffee.
We are fanatics about the high quality standard of our coffee. We cup coffees that are truly the best, and we choose very carefully from among these. Price is never a factor in assessing quality, and we only buy the best.
Part of our fanaticism stems from being truthful about our coffees - we have no "secret" blend. We are confident that our quality, freshness, and the way we carefully roast each batch of coffee to perfection cannot be duplicated by others - so we have no reason to keep any secrets. You should know exactly what you are paying for.
At the JACKSON COFFEE CO., we have gone to great effort and expense in order to bring you what we believe are the finest beans available. When you enjoy our coffee, we think you will appreciate our commitment.
