Greetings and thanks for dropping by our site! My name is Michael Baccellieri, and I am the owner of Longbottom Coffee & Tea. I want to welcome you and introduce you to our company and its mission.

Longbottom is one of the pioneer West Coast specialty roasters. We've been roasting quality high grown mild coffees for over 25 years now - blending, packaging, freshness-dating and shipping it to your individual order since the first day we opened in 1981.

A lot of people ask me what the secret to our great coffee is. It's not rocket science - it's actually very simple. First, we start with the finest high grown milds available. Second, we roast these to their unique taste profile temperatures. Third we preserve freshness by delivering to you within hours after roasting.

These three factors are essential to great coffee, but there is one more key ingredient and it doesn't come in a bag or get poured in your cup. The facts are you can get decent specialty coffee just about anywhere in the US today. Almost any successful roaster can combine these things and probably get a decent cup of coffee, but it's not great coffee. To get that, you need one more key ingredient and it's the most important. Want to know the secret?

It's SERVICE and it's what we do best here at Longbottom. If a roaster ships you the finest coffee available today, but doesn't help you grow your business, they've achieved nothing.

If you'd like to learn more about our service philosophy, or our stance on the environment, social responsibility, organics, or estate coffees and the fourth wave, you can read more on our company page.
