​Delicious coffee for your office:

         Every coffee beverage our machines make is done with espresso, which is coffee brewed by expressing or forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans Espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods, has a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and has foamy crema on top.  Most quality coffee drinks begin with espresso.

 Our coffee beans:
Veteran Roasters Coffee was established to accomplish the mission of ending homelessness and chronic unemployment in the veteran community.  We started a company that could provide growth, and most importantly, provide a skill and opportunity in the growing coffee industry.

The craft roasting community has grown dramatically in recent years, and when we connected with Joshua Millman and the Passion House Coffee Roasters team about partnering to hire and train veterans in the coffee industry the idea for Veteran Roasters Coffee took flight. Support from Passion House allows us to find and roast some of the best coffee beans from all around the world.

​At Veteran Roasters we pay a living wage, help our veteran employees with housing, child care, and daily living expenses so they can concentrate on bettering themselves and roasting great coffee. Every cup you brew helps a veteran, so drink it weak, strong, or somewhere in between, but drink lots!     www.veteranroasters.com
