About True North Coffee Roasters
True North began in April 2001 when founders John and Maine Hofius left careers in software analysis to open a craft coffee roasting house. From the start their stated goal has been to provide craft-roasted coffee that is accessible, responsibly sourced, reasonably priced, and above all delicious. The owners sign off the story personally, highlighting a small-team, quality-first approach. On roasting: True North roasts seasonally and to order, emphasizing small-batch control. They describe roasting "in season" to ensure freshness, and roast in 21-pound batches to control time, cooling, temperature, and airflow—factors they cite as reasons for the coffee's sweetness and consistency.
