Anthony’s Small Batch Roasters takes pride in crafting dark roast coffees that are bold, smooth, and full of character. Roasted locally in York, Maine, each batch is carefully developed by our seasoned, in-house coffee roaster, Eric. A master at his craft, he’s able to bring out rich flavor profiles while maintaining the quality and freshness that coffee lovers expect from small-batch roasting – and from Anthony’s.
Our dark roast is curated for coffee drinkers who prefer a deeper, bolder flavor and for those who truly want to experience the one of a kind taste of an authentically roasted Southern Maine coffee. The beans are carefully heated, allowing each batch to develop a taste that dark roast enthusiasts, coffee connoisseurs and those who just want their caffeine fix can all appreciate. Dark roast coffee is known for its rich aroma, low acidity, and full-bodied finish. The flavor is often bold, smoky, slightly bittersweet, and when it comes to OUR coffee – unmistakable. Like the beautiful, but rocky and often chilly Southern Maine coast, this style of coffee offers a rugged character, comforting warmth, and a richness distinct to Anthony’s.

The Dark Roast Process:
Roasting coffee to a true dark roast profile requires precision and constant attention, which Anthony’s makes sure is present with each roast. The difference between a rich, flavorful dark roast and an over-roasted batch can be a matter of seconds, which we’ve worked tirelessly to perfect. Pulling the beans too early will not allow the deep, bold flavors dark roast drinkers expect to fully develop. Fortunately for us, a plethora of experience has taught Eric how to avoid this. That experience and attention to detail are what allow Anthony’s Small Batch Roasters to consistently deliver the bold, smooth, and comforting flavor that every coffee drinker can find something in.
