Buying beans in Rockford
- Why buy from a local roaster instead of the grocery store?
- Freshness. Coffee peaks in the first few weeks after roasting, and beans from a Rockford roastery are usually days old — supermarket bags are often months old. Look for a roast date on the bag; a local roaster will always have one.
- Can I visit these roasters in person?
- Most of the roasters listed above run a café or tasting bar at the roastery — check each listing for hours before a special trip, since roasting-only warehouses sometimes keep limited retail hours.
