Speeder and Earl's

Speeder & Earl’s began in 1993 as a family venture in Burlington’s South End. Over two decades later, the family-run business has grown. Despite expansion, the first-generation founders still operate the larger roastery. They maintain a cafe on Pine Street, open seven days a week.

Their commitment lies in roasting quality coffee. They offer a variety of single-origin, unique blends, fair trade, organic, and flavored coffees. They also serve Swiss-water processed decaf. Coffee beans from all major regions are always in their stock. New beans that cup well are added frequently.

The freshness of coffee is their priority. Small-batch roasting ensures their coffee leaves the roastery within days, or even hours. With new shipping and wholesale options, their coffee reaches enthusiasts nationwide.

They take pride in community partnerships. Collaborations with local entities bring unique elements to their business. These partnerships define Speeder & Earl's.

Being part of the coffee industry excites them. They appreciate their role in continuing traditions while promoting innovative approaches. These methods protect both natural and cultural elements of the coffee world.

Their roasting aims to express the unique qualities of each regional coffee. Variations in rainfall, soil chemistry, and exposure affect coffee growth. Additionally, regional cultivation, harvesting, and processing techniques differ. They aim to capture these differences in their roast, from Colombian Supremo’s tartness to Bali Kintamani’s fruity sweetness.

Close observation and control during their small-batch process yield superior coffee. This artisanal approach turns coffee production into a craft. They believe in maintaining freshness with their retail valve bags. This allows their coffee to reach a broader audience. They work diligently with their partners to ensure a fresh, flavorful cup at their locations.

Enjoying Speeder & Earl's coffee, they hope, evokes a sense of the incredible world of coffee. The success of their business stems from the relationships they've formed along the coffee journey. From growers to customers, every contribution is valued. They are grateful for the intricate web that brings a cup of their coffee into your hands.
