GreenStreet Coffee Roasters launches
Philly's coffee-roasting community is small, no doubt, but it's growing. We recently told you about Fishtown's ReAnimator, and now there's a new microplayer on the way up north — Chris Molieri's GreenStreet Roasters, based at Broad and Girard. It's a brand-new operation and industry for Molieri, who developed a passion for roasting while working the financial services sector in Portland, Oregon; there, he put in a lot of time researching the bigger PDX players (Stumptown, Ristretto, etc.), eventually plunging into roasting thanks to some tutelage from the owner of Portland's Courier Coffee. Molieri, who started prepping green beans on a popcorn roaster before investing in a high-end Ambex setup, is starting off small, with a house blend and an espresso, but he plans on introducing single-bean varietals as well as a fair trade/organic blend in the near future. The roaster's also in talks with a number of cafés, restaurants and caterers to carry his products. "[I] am passionate about the specialty coffee world and optimistic about the growth of the specialty industry," says Molieri.
Great stuff bro! Great article and info. We really need a better coffee in Philly, at least I do.— Call4Change
