Hacienda La Minita is world renowned for being one of the finest cups of coffee. Don bought his first bag of La Minita from Bill McAlpin off the back of a rented box truck in 1981. Year after year, La Minita has upheld uncompromising standards of quality and consistency. The farm continues to set the standard for specialty coffee processing. In addition to continually improving the quality of the coffee, La Minita is focused on improving the lives of those who care for the farm.
La Minita is expertly roasted to be the most well balanced cup of coffee in the world. No matter what your particular tastes are, La Minita will leave you satisfied cup after cup.
The first Boston Stoker location opened in Englewood, OH in 1973, and the business soon expanded to include Fairborn and Centerville. The Deans began to serve gourmet coffee to cigar shop customers as a free service, to entice customers to hang out longer. The coffee was so popular that Boston Stoker soon began selling beans by the pound. In 1979, Boston Stoker started roasting coffee at the Fairborn location – in those days, just eleven pounds at a time.
Since then, Boston Stoker has become Dayton’s premiere coffee brand, with a full production schedule and a varied slate of fine coffees that are all carefully selected. We roast more than 150,000 pounds of coffee annually, right here in Dayton, Ohio. Our roasters take care to roast each varietal to its peak flavor, in small batches, and our daily roasting ensures the freshest product possible.
