Craig King
Craig is the roaster and designer. He has more than ten years of experience as Head Roaster for one of South Carolina’s oldest and largest specialty coffee roasters, which provided coffee to the likes of the Biltmore Estate, Table 301, and dozens of regional coffee shops and restaurants. Craig trained at Diedrich in Sandpoint, ID and Probat in Memphis, TN. In his previous role, he roasted on a Diedrich CR-25, Probat two-barrel sample roaster, and Sonofresco roaster.
Craig is a classical trumpet player and graduate of Yale School of Music, where his coffee obsession really took hold with daily visits to Willoughby’s and Koffee in New Haven. He teaches at several universities and performs with orchestras and brass ensembles. He also has an eye for portraiture and on the side-side paints and draws portraits. And if you’d like to buy Craig a cup of coffee, please stream his album Blue Metropolis for a solid week!
