McLaughlin Coffee Company

Founded in 1983 by Mike McLaughlin, a Richmond schoolteacher, alongside Pete and Bob McLaughlin, this family owned roaster began with a repurposed peanut roaster holding just 10 pounds per batch. Based in Emeryville, California, McLaughlin has evolved into a multigenerational operation with Mike's son Mark rejoining the family business after a career in Silicon Valley tech. The company sources and roasts premium coffee beans with the same precision and care it has maintained since its founding, blending traditional values with modern specialty coffee standards.
