Flight is my all time favorite. Their roasts are amazing, and they have a constant selection of single origin coffees that burst with flavor. Their mail order is fast and they have a location in Bedford.

Tandem Coffee in Maine is also a top notch roaster, and they do mail order as well

Cafe Monte Alto in Plymouth does some very nice roasts as well.

A&E does a great Ethiopian and I subscribe to their coffee club where they ship some to me every month. Big fan.

I have been to the Manchester location on Elm Street and you can buy a selection of beans there.

Their Tanzania and El Salvador are great light roasts as well. Really helpful and knowledgeable staff, too!

If I’m anywhere within a certain radius I make an excuse to go. Their great white shark chai with espresso cube, my god it was life changing. And I’m a typical Dunkin’s drinker

There's Port City Coffee Roasters in Portsmouth, haven't tried a light roast but their medium is one of my favorites, and there's New Hampshire Coffee Roasting Co in Dover. Not sure if either have Ethiopian, but I've bought great beans from both.

Wayfarer in Laconia might be worth looking into. They also host the New England Coffee Festival.

Thanks do they have a storefront? What’s this festival

1

PabloPantuflas t1_ja5yfpk wrote

They’ve got a storefront and a shop that sells things only made in NH.

Last May, they hosted a coffee festival that brought vendors and people involved in all facets of the industry. Filled downtown. It was pretty cool.

They have a rotation, but it's always fantastic! They are very knowledgeable and explain the flavors and notes. I get an education whenever I ask questions.

I have to disagree with this as someone who is very familiar with some of the company. Those I have dealt with are shady people to say the least and in my experience, they put out an inferior product and count on being “local” to make sales.

If you're near the seacoast, Horseshoe Cafe in Newmarket has probably the best in the whole state, but the lineup varies. Nori is an expert coffee roaster and his wife Sarah is an accomplished and delightful baker! Their shop has been listed by Food & Wine as the best in NH for at least 2 years now.

Was going to say this place. They roast almost daily it seems and sell out so freshness is easily confirmed. Friendly bunch, but everything there is pricey.

Tucks after dark. It's a dark roast, so good. I believe they also sell beans online. We usually just stock up when we go up north.

Granite Ledge Coffee from Canterbury is my absolute favorite. I usually buy it at Concord farmers market, but it’s available at the Concord Co-Op and other small independent grocers. They also do free shipping. I’ve never had fresher coffee, it’s usually been roasted in the past couple days once I buy a bag. You can tell because how much it blooms when you add hot water. They offer several single origin roasts as well as blends, at different roast levels depending on your preference.

Breaking New Grounds in Durham’s Brazilian Daterra is the best roasted coffee I’ve found in this area.

wiredentropy OP t1_ja5wgx1 wrote

Is it a light roast?

1

katspresso t1_ja5xsru wrote

Fairly light, yes. I wouldn’t call it Starbucks-level blond, but it’s light enough that the beans aren’t oily. It’s similar to Ethiopian in roast level.

1

omgdrones t1_ja4huzu wrote

I'm light roasting 5lbs of Ethiopian as we speak. Can't legally sell it yet, though, as I'm still awaiting my homestead license :)

PS Ethiopian light roast is a spectacular choice!

briseis1318 t1_ja4ic0m wrote

Hometown in Manchester is my favorite. They have more medium and dark roasts, but their Crossroads is a blended light roast. Not necessarily Ethiopian. Definitely worth checking out!

tureus t1_ja4z8go wrote

>Hometown

I love this place. They even do free local delivery (no status on deliveries but they show up in a few days!). And once in a while they have an indoor flea market type setup with local artisan sellers. Great part of the community.

Witching Hour Provisions in Hopkinton is fab. I haven’t had their Ethiopian blend but it’s light roast and limited edition.

Also, I know someone else mentioned them but Flight is also very good.

Coco's coffee in East Kingston! I have been swearing by them for the past year now, many options for single origin coffee sold streetside (edit: literally a tiny honor system stand, they also sell mugs and dry rubs!) off 107/108.

Also sold online, for a small premium: https://www.cocoscoffeenh.com/

Have you considered investing the roughly $200 and roasting your own? That’s what we did and will never look back!

How? My understanding was the equipment can cost thousands? Where do you get fresh green beans in New England?

1

Snidgetless t1_ja6kq8o wrote

No way, not even close. Search Amazon for a roaster that goes over a gas burner (some need a portable grill, I use my gas stove) and we buy 5 lbs at a time of green beans on Amazon.
