Responsibly harvested coffee and tea. Craft roasted coffee beans. Small batch coffee roaster based out of Mooresville, North Carolina that focuses on prime super hard beans. We receive our beans from many different origins. Focus on the right roast of the right bean with proper storage before and after roasting. We also sell high quality teas, coffee gadgets, and merchandise. Pour-over coffee only - no specialty drinks (latte, cappuccino).

I have trouble finding a coffee I like. I bought a few different ones that I thought I might like. I was successful. However, I wish they would offer a more reasonably priced sampler pack. If so I would be more willing to explore and possibly stumble on others I like.

This is definitely more of an industrial facility, don't expect a cafe or something even remotely resembling one. It's a little out of the way, but if you want to buy some freshly roasted beans right from the source, you can't beat this place. My beans were literally roasted yesterday according to the bag.
The retail counter only allows 1 person in at a time, and rightfully so; it's tiny. I knew what I wanted, requesting the euro espresso beans. I was cheerfully greeted, made my purchase, and recieved my bag o beans and was on my way.

Thank you for the feed back. We are a focused wholesaler and the industrial facility reflects that. Sorry if that surprised you. Our goal is to provide an very high grade product at a value price point. Hope to see you again soon to try our 21 single origin and 8 blends.

Awesome coffee! One-Eyed Jack and Prospector's Gold are fantastic!!! Both can be consumed without creamers or sweeteners.

We appreciate the kind words. Black Powder seeks the best green beans to roast with our proprietary heat profile to gain natural sweetness without a harsh bite.
Eric E.Capistrano Beach, CA014Nov 11, 2021Great Espresso roast. I like the regular and the LKN espresso. Always fresh and free delivery over $40. What's not to like?

Thank you for your review. We strive to make our Espresso (and every blend) to be consistent. With changing farms to the best annually (plus environmental changes) the task is challenging to retain consistency. We appreciate the kind words.

Great coffee at reasonable prices! Shop local, support small businesses! Check out their most popular flavors online and if you live nearby, stop in their store and grab a bag to start the day off right with a good cup of Joe!

Abby C.New Bedford, MA1083327Jun 30, 2020Ordered whole bean coffee so I could make it at home. I'm obsessed with their Michigan Black Cherry coffee. So smooth and amazing flavor.

Thank you. When our friends from Michigan asked us to make this, we were skeptical but soon found great delight in this flavor. Of course we tweaked it to make it creamier but that is what we do! Glad you share our passion for great coffee.
Ron S.Mooresville, NC1253342316Mar 17, 2017Great coffee. My wife still prefers a national brand but I can never go back.
Will grind to your need or preference. My only complaint is that it is starting to get crowded as others discover Black Powder.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0- T V.Denver, NC113930Aug 14, 2019
This place is a true hidden gem. The customer area is tiny, so unless you're taking a tour you will be in and out very quickly. They have grown a bit to have many different flavors, maybe too many?
One of the best perks, no pun intended, is that they can make/sell you a cup of coffee as well (this is not a coffee house with seating and dozens of choices). It's typically a nice pour over and one of the best around in my opinion.
Only reason for not giving 5 starts is that the (same) woman running the counter is always miserable and not personable at all. Would be nice to get a snails and better details about the different blends, a coffee story if you will.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you for the feedback. As a focused wholesale shop, our retail coffee area is small. Luckily we are able to keep the inventory turns very high with such a large selection. Wish we could reduce but so customer focused... In an effort to educate more, we are adding farm stories and catalog of cupping notes to enhance the experience at the retail bean area. Tough to balance experience in a small focused wholesale environment but we continually improve our processes based on feedback.
Nancee A.Miami, FL0241Sep 8, 2017Found this place on Google Maps and Yelp... Visiting from out of town... I husband is an extreme coffee snob and And this cute tucked away spot is AMAZING! Huge variety to choose from tons of beans you can take with you and the Young lady working the counter was very professional super sweet and very knowledgeable! The cold brew is on point and the selection great! Will be back!
