Roasting Great Coffee in Support of Those in Need
The inspiration for Barb City Roasters came from a fantastic cup of coffee. When Jack Cress, CEO of Cresswood Machinery, was traveling in Tanzania, Africa he was given a cup of coffee, freshly brewed from beans harvested that very day and roasted just minutes before. It was the best cup of coffee he had ever had.
As Jack explained it, once he had tasted a cup that good, he couldn't settle for anything less. So he bought 10 pounds of green coffee beans and bought his first coffee roaster. He then went to a coffee roasting school in Idaho to hone his skills.
