An Italian and an American walk into another coffee roaster—and more espresso happens☕️
For our second local roaster collaboration, we headed to Lucas Roasting Company in Wolfboro, NH. Sebastiano & Kristen had the pleasure of chatting with the Lucas family, and learned about the origin/story of their business and coffee!
With nearly 2 decades in business, they initially started in Virginia, but moved to NH in 2016 to continue on in the Lakes Region. Lucas Roasters is the definition of a family-run business; managed entirely by Troy Lucas, his wife Jennica, and their two sons. One of their most notable accomplishments was winning the Viewers Best Choice for coffee in the entire state of New Hampshire 5 times over the last few years. Working with in an 800 square foot space—they supply over 40 wholesale accounts with their blend of Guatemalan, Colombian, & Brazilian roasted coffee beans.
With an at home set up featuring a Rocket R58, we put the espresso blend to the test—the lattes we sipped on (and accidentally spilled) truly reflected the quality of their award winning coffee from Lucas Roasting Company!
As Espresso Coffee Shop begins its next chapter here in the USA, we’re excited to connect the espresso equipment and culture we know and love with the incredible coffee community here🇺🇸
Ciao USA, & cheers to Lucas Coffee Roasters!
