At Knoxville Coffee Company, we’re a specialty coffee roaster dedicated to bringing you some of the finest coffees from around the globe — thoughtfully sourced, skillfully roasted, and passionately shared.

Explore our World Reserve Series to discover how each origin shapes a coffee’s flavor — from the soil and climate to the altitude and farming practices. Then celebrate our hometown pride with the Knox Heritage Series, crafted in honor of Knoxville’s rich history, vibrant culture, and diverse communities.

We believe great coffee begins long before it reaches your cup. It starts on small farms in ideal growing regions, where beans are cultivated with care, harvested by hand, and processed with precision to highlight their natural complexity.

As a specialty roaster, we source only top-tier beans — the best of what’s grown worldwide — and build lasting, ethical relationships with the farmers who produce them. Back in Knoxville, we roast in small batches to bring out each coffee’s distinct character, from bright and fruity to smooth and chocolatey.

Whether you prefer a mellow morning pour-over or a bold espresso shot, we’re here to help you find your perfect roast. Choose whole bean for peak freshness, or let us grind it to match your favorite brew method — French press, drip, espresso, you name it.

At the heart of it all is our commitment to quality, sustainability, and community — honoring every step of the coffee’s journey, from farm to roastery to your kitchen. 

 

Locally Owned. Community Driven.

As a family-owned business just minutes from downtown Knoxville, we're deeply rooted in the local community. We’re proud to support a wide range of organizations throughout the city and surrounding areas—partnering on fundraisers, charitable events, and nonprofit initiatives.

Ethically Sourced. Sustainably Roasted.

We're proud to serve coffee that’s not only exceptional in quality but also responsibly sourced. Whenever possible, we purchase our beans directly from the farmers who grow them to ensure fairer wages and stronger support for their families and communities.

We collaborate closely with trusted suppliers and producers to maintain a high level of traceability across our supply chain. Our labels, Single Origin, Direct Trade, and Small Batch Roast, are more than just buzzwords. They’re your assurance of quality, transparency, and consistency in every cup.
