Zeke’s Coffee is a family-owned and operated company founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 2005. We began selling in the Washington-metro area in 2008, and opened our DC roastery November 2013.
Roasting
At Zeke’s, we use an environmentally friendly Loring coffee roaster, which uses 80% less energy than your typical roaster. This type of roasters uses hot air to roast coffee beans more quickly and uniformly than a conventional drum roaster. We roast to temperature, giving us a more consistent product. Chaff escapes the roast chamber easily, leading to cleaner tasting coffee with more distinct regional flavors.
We roast in small batches. It guarantees freshness. Our roaster holds 25 pounds of coffee, compared to the 150 pounds that a standard roaster holds. Because of this, we put more time, more labor, and a little more of ourselves into each bean. You can taste the difference.
