Vortex Roasters

Wonderful coffee! We have been purchasing from this company for a couple years and though we may buy others, we always come back for specific coffees and to try their newer (to us) single origin offerings. We primarily brew daily pour overs but have also found their espressos work great through a Wacaco mini since we don't have an proper espresso machine currently.

Picked up a bag of their Mexican Chiapas at a cafe on the way home from a beach trip in Roseboro, NC (?) and was pleasantly surprised. Nice flavor, fresh (less than 2 weeks past roast), brewed as pour-over. Very good to excellent coffee.

We were lucky enough to live near this roaster for a few years. We'd order online, and before long Mark would drop the coffee right on our porch—sometimes with a handwritten note of thanks. That kind of personal touch is rare these days, and it didn't go unnoticed. What really won us over, though, was the coffee itself. So many roasters scorch their beans, but not Vortex. Every cup we've brewed over the years has been smooth, rich, and full of character. Our favorite is the Sumatra Mandheling—it’s deep, bold, and anything but flat. We moved to Florida a year ago and tried to find something comparable, but nothing measured up. So now we order straight from Vortex and have it shipped. Once you’ve had coffee this good, there’s no going back. We’re Vortex fans for life!

Yuck! Talk about flat coffee!!! I've tried several of their coffees and while it's better than Folgers it's definitely not something I want in my cup. I had Vortex coffee at another place in town, it was horrible. So, I tried it straight from the source and I swear it was somehow worse. Any roaster selling blended coffee in big bags for cheap prices is obviously aiming for a certain market. Several other shops in Pittsboro serving up MUCH better coffee. I will not be back

I have been drinking whole bean coffee since 1998 switching up my suppliers pretty frequently. But since trying Vortex Roasters coffee in the Fall of 2020, I have exclusively been purchasing about 6 to 8 bags every 6-ish weeks. Shipment is very fast. My favorite has been the Butterfly Effect (formerly known as S.I.P) but every roast I have tried has been super smooth and flavorful. I have extended my daily coffee drinking into the afternoons and I always can't wait until tomorrow morning to get that first cup!
