Swift River Coffee Roasters is a small, Maine-based coffee roastery known for its high-quality, fresh coffee beans and friendly service. The roastery offers a variety of blends, including a notable sunrise blend, and is especially praised for its light roast that preserves the natural flavor of the beans. Customers appreciate that the beans are genuinely fresh, making for excellent espresso and coffee drinks at home. Many find that their espresso, when made with Swift River beans and a good grinder and machine, surpasses the quality of cafe offerings in the state. The espresso beans are described as rich, robust, and full of flavor, capable of producing a rich crema and deep, saturated taste. The "River Rock Espresso" is a popular choice, especially for those new to extracting espresso at home, and the freshness of the beans significantly enhances the flavor.
The staff at Swift River are friendly and welcoming, with the head roaster, in particular, providing a warm and personal experience. One customer was surprised and pleased to be personally helped at the roastery, where they were shown the machinery and freshly ground their order. The roaster’s passion for quality and their process shines through, making customers feel valued and privileged.
Packaging has been noted as a potential area for improvement, with some finding the bags difficult to open and reseal due to strong adhesive. Despite this, the overall appreciation for the quality of the coffee remains high.
Overall, Swift River Coffee Roasters stands out as a proud Maine business that produces excellent coffee with a friendly, community-oriented spirit. Customers are encouraged to support this local roastery by visiting their website, finding their nearest retailer, and purchasing their coffee. The company’s focus on quality, freshness, and local roots makes it a favorite among coffee enthusiasts in Maine, offering a superior alternative to larger, less personal brands.
