Roasting coffee to taste as good as it smells
Where it started
Hello! My name is John Miller and I live in the beautiful (and small) town of Rosebud, Alberta.
​
My coffee journey started in 1985. I lived on a small island off the coast of British Columbia called Thetis Island. There was a coffee roaster on the island named "The Pot of Gold Coffee Roasting Company". They had a San Franciscan coffee roaster that had beautiful brass designs. This became my source for coffee (and chocolate covered beans)! And this was the beginning of my passion for coffee.
​
I first began roasting coffee in a frying pan and then a hot air popcorn popper. I soon graduated to a home made roaster made out of a stainless steel pot and burner. And finally bit the bullet and bought a 1 Kg coffee roaster - and the Rose Cottage Coffee Company was born.
​
My goal is simple - to roast coffee that tastes as good as it smells... so welcome to the Rose Cottage Coffee Company!
