About Door County Coffee

Door County Coffee was launched by Vicki Wilson over thirty years ago and remains a family affair to this day. Today you'll find 65 employees, including Vicki's sons, as well as employees who have been with the company for 29 or 30 years. They pride themselves on a family-first culture and that clearly shows.

"Our business is coffee and our passion is quality, both in our beans and the people who work here, and we hope you can see it in every bag you purchase and every interaction you have with our incredible team."

Coffee Beans

The standards are high at Door County Coffee, with only the top 2% of coffee beans grown in the world making the cut. They only roast Specialty Class 1 Arabica Beans and you'll taste that dedication to quality beans in every cup. Arabica Beans are most often considered superior, smoother, and sweeter taste, making them overall the most flavorful coffee beans because they are grown at higher altitudes of at least 2,500 feet or higher. The higher the elevation, the denser the beans, giving a fruitier, more floral and more articulate flavor. They also contain lower levels of caffeine which contributes to a smoother, more enjoyable cup. These beans are often hand-picked with great care by the farmers who grow and nurture them, making them void of defects and a very consistent and perfect bean.

Coffee Roasting, Flavoring, & Packaging

The roasting takes place in their 40,000 square foot building with superior roasting technology, producing a wonderfully even, perfect roast each and every time. Flavoring is applied in liquid form during a tumbling process while the beans are still warm to evenly flavor each and every bean.

Finally, the coffee is ground and packaged right away because they know that it immediately begins to lose flavor after roasting. Therefore, all Door County Coffees are packaged within days of roasting in an air-tight seal and the beans spend a very short time on the warehouse shelves as the whole facility usually only houses about a seven-day supply.
