Loading Better Beans…
Oakley Artisan Roasters was founded when fate and friendship brought together a group of experienced business people who shared a love for coffee and decided to launch a brand that stands out among the rest. The company is led by managing partners Tim Eckert and Joe Krimmer, along with Beth Thress, who bring diverse experience in coffee roasting, custom coffee production, formal education in custom roasting for flavor extraction, management of national chain coffee shops, and over 30 years in retail and wholesale distribution management and marketing. Based in Oakley, Cincinnati, the company operates from a nearly 8,000 square foot facility at 2901 Robertson Avenue, where all products are produced. As a small-batch, custom roaster, Oakley Artisan Roasters aims to produce something that's distinctly different, better, and more customer-centric than mass coffee producers. Their promise to customers is foundational: "When you order coffee from us, you will be drinking it literally a few days after it has come out of the roaster," says managing partner and roaster Tim Eckert. The company utilizes a 13-kilo US roaster with time-perfected recipes for their roasting process. They offer over 25 different varieties including 13 different beans and roasts sourced from regions across Africa, Central and South America, Mexico, and other coffee-growing regions. The company has recently begun relationships with farms in Honduras that deal in Fair Trade practices, providing economic stability to entire communities through models of sustainability, fair wages, and focus on growing and exporting high-quality coffee. Oakley Artisan Roasters specializes in wholesale distribution to restaurants, cafes, salons, boutiques, and offices, while also offering direct-to-consumer sales through their e-commerce platform. Their customer base has grown to extend coast to coast across the United States. Local retail partners include the Cincinnati Art Museum, Lehr's Prime Markets, and Country Fresh Markets. In addition to coffee roasting, the company provides co-packing services, helping other brands maintain their identity while utilizing Oakley's clean and orderly facility for packaging and production. They also offer in-house bottling services with in-line labeling and custom printed bottles. The company is known for its collaborative approach with clients, working from conception to completion and helping brands outline core values to create products that connect with consumers on an emotional level.
