Wander Coffee is one of the beloved local roasters we follow in Colorado: an independent roaster based in Fort Collins, founded in 2016. Here is what their own pages and public sources say about them, in our words.

Their story

Kyle worked as a barista, manager and trainer, then held head roaster jobs at operations large and small before going out on his own. He moved home to the Rockies and opened the Fort Collins roastery in November 2016, taking a single online order on day one. Besides roasting, the family owned business handles maintenance and repairs for coffee machines.

New coffees are first roasted a handful at a time on a sample roaster, and the finished recipes are scaled up to 20 pound batches on the drum roaster. A thermal oxidizer on the roaster burns off about 95 percent of the smoke pollutants, and the company invites people to book a visit to see the setup. Working through its importers, the company says it pays growers more than the Fair Trade minimum.

What they roast

House blends include Twilight Blend, Wilder Blend, Night Sky Blend and Happy Trails' House Blend. Single origins on the list when we checked: Burundi Kayanza, Guatemala Huista and Crown Jewel Uganda Honey Rwenzori. Espresso: Espresso Blend. Decaf: Decaf Blend. Offerings change with the seasons, so this is what their own pages listed on 2026-09-28.

Why buying from Wander Coffee matters here

Its service team repairs, cleans and installs espresso machines, brewers and grinders for homes and businesses across northern Colorado and southern Wyoming. Sales of its Rinkside Roast help fund the Rocky Mountain Moose Hockey Club, and office clients can also order portion packs, cups and creamer.

Every bag bought from a Fort Collins roaster pays roasting and cafe wages in Colorado, and the coffee reaches you days after roasting instead of months. That is the reason the club exists. Why local roasters matter.
