- Our Origin Story

Every company has an origin story. Ours began years ago. Doug and Kuulei always had a love for good, well-roasted coffee. In 2015, Doug began roasting his own beans in a Whirly-Pop popcorn maker on a Coleman stove. From the very first batch of beans, he was hooked!  About a year later, Kuulei bought Doug a small home roaster for Father’s Day, and over the next few years, it became his first best hobby, and the whole family fell in love with roasting.  

Then came 2020... the pandemic brought a new and uncertain landscape, but it also seemed like the perfect time to try something new. With the encouragement of their 3 older kids and much prayerful consideration, they stepped into a new venture and started Red Beard Roasting Company in January 2021. It’s been an incredible journey as a family, and we are proud of the product that we offer.

- Our Mission

Red Beard Roasting Company aims to enrich our local community through the flavors of global coffee. We do this by carefully roasting each batch of single-origin coffee to highlight the unique flavor notes from that region.  

- Our Vision

Bringing people together through great coffee is the heartbeat of our roastery. We have had the privilege to build strong relationships through this business, both locally and abroad. Because of this, 10% of all our proceeds go to a faith-based orphanage in the Philippines, to help address food insecurity, clothing, and housing needs for children who need it most.
