"This award honors our hard-working staff and coffee producers, as well as all the customers who have supported us in our commitment to sustainability and our continuing search for the most beautiful coffees in the world,” said Amina Omari, Managing Director for Gimme! Coffee. "With 300,000 pounds of coffee roasted this year, we look forward to an even better year to come."
Each year Roast Magazine selects both a micro and macro "Roaster of the Year" that recognizes companies that roast coffees of superior quality, exemplify a dedication to sustainable practices and employee education, and demonstrate a commitment to the coffee industry. Other considerations include the company mission, innovations in roasting, marketing and business practices as well as the overall quality of the coffee. Gimme! Coffee was chosen among dozens of entrants from around the world in the Macro Roaster category. Olympia Coffee Roasting Company, of Olympia, Washington, was awarded the “Micro Roaster of the Year.”
Gimme! Coffee has garnered similar awards and accolades for its roasts in the past and continues to define new ways in which to perfect their products. Available by the cup at any of their retail locations, by the pound in-store or online, and wholesale for restaurants and businesses, Gimme! is committed to a higher quality product; while building and sustaining relationships with their sources.
