Swift River Coffee Roasters was established in 2010 by Walt and Linda Manchester as an expansion of their passion for quality coffee. Their journey in the coffee industry began in 1995 with their first business, Catered Café, where they used locally, small-batch roasted coffee. In 2003, they gave coffee a starring role in their new business, The Good Life Market, before branching out to create Swift River Coffee Roasters. Operating from their facility in Raymond, Maine, Swift River is dedicated to small-batch roasting for optimum freshness and quality. Their master roaster, Ian Ballingall, began as a barista at The Good Life Market and developed his passion for coffee into a career in roasting and blending. The company takes pride in sourcing top-quality beans from around the world and creating imaginative blends. Swift River Coffee Roasters offers a diverse selection of coffee products, including single-origin varieties from Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Java Estate, Peru, and Sumatra. They also produce signature blends such as Annie's Blend, French Roast, Riverbend Blend, Signature Roast, and Sunrise Blend, among others. Their product line extends to flavored coffees like Chocolate Almond, French Vanilla, Hazelnut, and seasonal specialties, as well as water-processed decaf options. The company approaches coffee with the same attention to detail, individuality, and customer service that built the foundation of The Good Life Market. Their commitment to quality has fostered a growing customer base through word of mouth, which they consider the best testament to their approach. Swift River Coffee Roasters continues to focus on constantly sourcing, roasting, and delivering delicious coffee with a dedication to craft and excellence.
