Coffee Talk
Welcome to the Old Crown Coffee Blog!
Hey there, coffee friends!
We’re thrilled to finally launch the Old Crown Coffee Roasters blog — a place where we can share our passion for great coffee, roasting stories, brewing tips, and everything in between.
Since 1999, we’ve been Fort Wayne’s go-to small-batch roaster, focused on bringing out the very best in every bean using nothing but heat, time, and a whole lot of love. No artificial flavors, ever — just the incredible natural flavors that coffee has to offer.
Why We Roast
We believe coffee is at its best when treated with care and respect. That’s why we roast in small batches, giving each origin and blend the attention it deserves. From bright, juicy light roasts to bold, smoky dark roasts (and everything in between), our goal is simple: deliver fresh, flavorful coffee that makes your daily cup something to look forward to.
What You’ll Find Here
In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be posting:
- Tasting notes and deep dives into our current blends (like The Big Squeezy, La Reina, dem gooood beans, and more)
- Brewing guides — pour over, espresso, cold brew, and beyond
- Stories from the roastery and behind-the-scenes looks
- Coffee education, fun facts, and our favorite recipes
Whether you’re a seasoned coffee nerd or just someone who enjoys a good cup in the morning, we hope this blog becomes a welcoming spot for conversation and discovery.
Thanks for being part of the Old Crown community.
Stay tuned — the first few posts are coming soon. In the meantime, grab a bag of your favorite blend (or start a subscription so you never run out), and keep doing what you do best: enjoying great coffee.
