Kauai Roastery is a family-owned and operated specialty coffee roastery located in Hanapepe on the sunny west side of Kauai, Hawaii. The company represents three generations of the Loero family's involvement in the coffee industry, with their original family brand dating back to circa 1935. Led by Richard Loero, who holds a Master of Science degree in Horticulture from the University of Hawaii and has managed coffee operations in Hawaii for over 25 years, the roastery brings deep expertise and agricultural knowledge to their craft. As artisan roasters, Kauai Roastery specializes in sustainably grown, expertly sourced coffee that is roasted to order in small batches using traditional micro roasting techniques. Their philosophy centers on allowing each coffee to deliver its unique taste profile by selecting beans based on origin character and roasting them to degrees that maintain and enhance their distinctive characteristics. They primarily roast within a City Roast (medium) to Full City (medium-dark) range to preserve the unique aromatics, acidity, body, and flavor of each variety. The roastery offers a diverse range of 100% Hawaiian Estate Grown Coffees, signature coffee blends, and carefully selected global estate coffees. Their expertise comes from managing the bean from tree to cup, with Richard Loero serving as past President and Director of the Hawaii Coffee Growers Association and currently working as an agricultural advisor for coffee and tropical crop growers both locally and globally. This deep understanding of sustainable agronomic practices and relationships with growers allows them to select vintage crops that deliver unique regional flavor profiles. Kauai Roastery's commitment to quality extends beyond their roasting process to their sourcing philosophy, focusing on farms that meet sustainable practices and delivering something special from farm to cup. Their small-batch, roast-to-order approach provides flexibility, creativity, and ensures maximum freshness for their discerning, quality-driven customers.
