Big Kick Coffee Roasters

Big Kick Coffee Roasters is a Charleston, South Carolina roaster that fire-roasts small batches in 100-year-old classic 25 lb roasters. Its roasters work by feel and taste, judging roast color and flavor rather than relying on a computer.

The business draws on more than 30 years of industry experience and began with a chocolatier making chocolate-covered espresso beans. It buys green coffee directly from two family farmers. Single-origin, dark and espresso coffees are sold online.
