Grow your business with in‑house roasting.

Steve Holt has pushed the boundaries of exceptional coffee for over a decade as a partner at Ninety Plus Coffee, a collection of coffee farms in Panama and Ethiopia that grow some of the world’s most prized coffees. When he left the company in 2018 to launch Unravel Coffee—a coffee shop and eventual roaster—he knew he wanted to do things differently.
“I didn’t want to have to find and pay for a separate location for roasting or go through that massive learning curve of roasting on a gas roaster. You have to be in front of those roasters the entire time and pay for extra staff to roast. I wanted a roaster at our shop location that our staff could roast on.”

Creating a Sustainable Future for the Coffee Industry.

Sustainably Source and Roast Incredible Coffee.

Impact at Bellwether.

The coffee industry creates significant carbon emissions, disproportionately affecting farmers through climate change. We must advocate for the widespread adoption of electric and distributed roasting to reduce our carbon footprint.
Current coffee prices don't provide a living income to most of the world’s farmers, causing instability and enduring poverty. We must pay coffee farmers equitable prices that support a living income, and invest in farm communities where we source coffee.
