Curator's Notes
Ruby Coffee Roasters was founded in 2013 by husband and wife Jared and Deanna Linzmeier, who brought years of West Coast specialty coffee experience back to Jared's home state of Wisconsin. The name comes from Jared's grandmother Ruby, chosen to represent something special, colorful, and deeply personal. Their first roasting space was a spare room in Jared's childhood home on 20 rural acres in Portage County. Today, Ruby operates a full production facility in Nelsonville and a beloved cafe in nearby Stevens Point, with a team of dedicated coffee professionals, many of whom grew up in the area and were thrilled to see Ruby thrive. Good Food Award winners, Food & Wine's Best Roaster in Wisconsin for 2018 and 2019, and one of the most consistently celebrated micro-roasters in the country. In the cup, expect colorful, complex, and beautifully accessible coffees that celebrate the unique qualities of each origin and harvest.
Start Here: Creamery Blend, a full-bodied medium roast named as a love letter to Wisconsin's dairy country. Fresh figs, bing cherries, and a velvety dark chocolate base as rich as a mug of hot cocoa. Cozy, comforting, and completely delicious.
From the Roaster
With a background in many facets of specialty coffee on the West Coast (LA, Portland & Seattle), we launched our micro roasting business in 2013. Our first roasting space was in the garage of Jared's (founder) family home on 20 acres of rural property in unincorporated Portage County, Wisconsin. We found a niche with quality-driven cafes nationwide and saw a huge response shipping directly to home consumers (thank you!)
In 2015 we moved our operation to nearby Nelsonville, WI, where we found an old warehouse space that would accommodate our growth. We have since renovated the entire 4000+ square foot building and have devoted spaces for coffee storage, shipping, quality control, and roasting.
We are guided by the notion that responsible business can do good and create value for everyone involved, from the producers we work with to our dear and valuable supporters drinking our coffees at home or preparing them in their shops. We are driven to present our menu in a way that celebrates the producer while also making the coffees inviting and accessible for everyday drinking.
Each of our coffees is carefully and specifically chosen to represent a glimpse of microclimate, micro-region, and a vignette into a moment in time. We like our coffees with a little flair and we are proud to celebrate the broad range of beautiful, colorful flavor coffee can have. We focus on celebrating the unique and exciting qualities of each offering. Our coffees change seasonally based on the harvest cycle of the countries we work in.
