ABOUT

Underwood Coffee is the culmination of years of experience working various roles in the specialty coffee industry. From begging for a barista position, working as Director of Education & Training, all the way to becoming the head roaster for an award winning coffee roasting company out of Minneapolis. As the owner and founder, I have always gone against the grain, working tirelessly in the pursuit of creating my ideal coffee company. Dreaming of one that I felt proud to share, and knowing that the only place I would want to start such an endeavor would be my hometown of Duluth, MN.

I love this community and the people it holds. We look forward to sharing the world of specialty coffee with you all, and sharing a piece of Duluth with the world.

OUR MISSION
We only source responsibly grown coffees from producers and importers we trust and respect. We then roast them with intention and care; showcasing them in a way that is approachable and inviting.

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
Basement punk shows, 90’s Hip-Hop, cheap beer, BBQ, skateboarding, old pick-up trucks and hard work. We let our freak flag fly and wear our underdog/DIY ethos on our sleeves. We like to use coffee as a way to express ourselves, and create new and meaningful relationships with our community and beyond.

SUSTAINABILITY
We only have one planet, and we strive to be thoughtful in our sourcing, packaging and distribution of our coffees.
