Middle Fork Roasters is owned, run, and operated by a close-knit group of friends and family dedicated to giving back. With each farmer's market we attend, event we support, and cup we fill, we are thrilled to create positive impact in our own backyard.

"This is one of our favorite seasonal coffees. I'm sure we make our mail carrier jealous when he delivers this package every fall. It tastes even better than it smells. It's autumn in a cup."
PRISCILLA 10/27/2026
★★★★★
"nutty taste, tried this coworkers and we all thought it was a very close taste to peanut butter. Very enjoyable!!"
SARAH 10/26/2026
★★★★★
"One of my favorite roasters so had to try, but I like their other blends more"
SARAH 10/26/2026
★★★★★
"My go to beans! this is one of our favorites - complex yet you don't get tired of it. I add it to every bean box order "
LEIGH 10/23/2026
★★★★★
"Medium mild, not on the very bold end of the spectrum. The taste and aroma are more subtle and take a few sips in to consider what you're tasting. But it settled well with me and I am enjoying it. It's a bit harder for me to describe this one but I'll say the herbal description another reviewer used feels accurate to me!"
LEIGH 10/09/2026
★★★★★
"I was hoping for a clear flavor after smelling the lovely chocolate brownie scented grounds! While certainly smooth it's lacking in taste."
ALEX 08/22/2026
★★★★★
"Very underwhelming. I was expecting (and looking for) a much more fruit-forward cup. This was very bland on my palate. Couldn't really tease out any fruit."
RALPH 07/03/2026
★★★★★
"Great coffee as usual, always a smooth light roast brewed with a chemex hand-blown carafe, makes mornings special. "
HOWARD 06/22/2026
★★★★★
"Great medium roast smack-dab somewhere between the first and second crack. No oil but rounded edges and slightly cracked at the ends. Love the hint of sweet imparted by the bourbon barrel but it doesn’t interfere with the natural flavors of the beans (which are decidedly “coffee” rather than berry). Yummy way to start the day :)"
DEANNA 05/12/2026

"This is one of my top favorite companies to get coffee from. It has a smooth taste and does not have a bitter aftertaste. It is really enjoyable."
