Coffee in the high country

The mountain towns along I-70 and north into Grand County roast their own coffee, and Breckenridge has several roasters on the Roast Local directory. Color Coffee Roasters opened its flagship cafe in Eagle in 2016, and its name is short for Colorado. Steamboat Springs has its own page; this one covers the rest of the high country. Our club mails mountain towns coffee from a different Colorado roaster in each box.

The high country's coffee story

Color Coffee Roasters grew out of years of backyard tinkering. It began as a home roasting project, and its flagship cafe opened in Eagle in 2016.

The name does two jobs. Roasters describe coffee flavor in colors, such as red fruit or purple fruit, and Color is also short for Colorado.

Eagle sits at about 6,700 feet at the lower end of the Vail Valley, about 125 miles west of Denver, and Color's cafe in Eagle Ranch has become a community hub for the town. It bakes its own pastries and serves breakfast, lunch, craft beer and natural wine next to the roastery.

A roaster in a small mountain town stays open when the town buys its coffee. A bag bought from a roaster in Eagle or Breckenridge pays wages in that town. Our page on why local roasters matter goes further.

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.

Sources: each roaster's own pages, read on the dates shown. Facts are written in our words; we link none of them from here.
