Colorado Springs' coffee story

Old Colorado City is where much of the city's roasting took root. High Rise Coffee Roasters has roasted in the shopping district there since 1995. Switchback moved out of its founders' garage into warehouse space in Old Colorado City in October 2011, then into a storefront in July 2012.

Colorado Coffee Merchants started small in April 2004: one 8 lb fluid-bed air roaster and three bags of green coffee.

The city's weekly paper kept score. Switchback won bronze, then silver, then gold from the Colorado Springs Independent over its first three years, the gold arriving by 2013.

Loyal came out of the cafes themselves. Six Colorado Springs baristas started meeting in 2015 as a kind of think tank about their careers and the coffee trade, and they chose to build here instead of moving to a bigger coffee city. The six still split the company by strength, from Bevan Cammell as head roaster to Seth Fuller on education.

The US Census Bureau's July 2025 estimate counts 494,743 people in Colorado Springs. Loyal's founders describe staying as watering the grass at their feet, and that is what buying from a roaster here does: the money pays roasters and baristas in Ivywild and Old Colorado City. The longer case is on why local roasters matter.

How we chose these roasters

Every roaster here roasts in Colorado and was operating when we read its own site, on the date its card shows (the list itself was last checked 2026-09-27). Facts come from each roaster's own pages, written in our words; we take nothing from reviews and show no ratings. No roaster pays to be listed, and a listing does not mean the roaster is part of the club. Run a roaster here and something is off? Email coffee@fourteenercoffeeclub.com and we correct or remove the page.
