Herkimer Coffee: Beyond the Myths and Stickers

by Caitlin Collins

Herkimer's coffee headquarters in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood boasts more than a cute cafe with excellent coffee; you might hear the steady roar of machinery from around the corner, and should you peek your head around, you'll see a window looking through to the roasting room.

One of the Roasters in the roasting room might be Scott Richardson, Co-Owner of Herkimer, who has been working with coffee for 20 years now-- since 1993. Scott is a prime example of why Herkimer coffee is not only a fine supplier of coffee, but also a great company overall: he has passion about what he does.

Known for hand-delivering their coffee orders around the neighborhood, Herkimer's roasters are amazing resources for anything coffee-related, and they are eager to share their knowledge. Scott took some time one morning to offer some information on coffee production as a whole, and to dispel some of the most common myths in the field, and he did all of it while roasting two beautiful batches of coffee beans.
