JAVA LOVE ROASTERS Suffern, White Lake \ javaloveroasters.com
What they’re pouring: More than 20 varieties of coffee, including both single origin and blends, all sourced from farms that focus on sustainable and fair-trade farming practices. Owners Jodie Dawson and Kristine-Ellis Petrik roast 22 pounds of coffee at a time by hand in their Suffern location, which Dawson says, “ensures accuracy and the best roasting flavor profile for each bean to bring out the best flavors.”
Brew this: Be sure to try their line of “Women Producer” beans, which are grown on farms owned or managed by women in Honduras, El Salvador, and Peru.
MONKEY JOE ROASTING COMPANY Kingston \ monkeyjoe.com
What they’re pouring: Owners Melissa Brown and Brittany Morton focus on single-origin roasts rather than blends and their process involves a fully manual Dietrich roaster, meaning that there is “nothing digital to guide our roasts, simply the skill, talent, and years of practice by our head roaster, Tom,” says Brown.
Brew this: Although this Kingston spot offers 25 roasts on average, customers often choose Mocha Java, Espresso Blend, or fan favorite Morning Howler Blend (which was created for the Radio Woodstock show “Acoustic Breakfast”).
