Mark Capriotti and Mark Corpus founded ReAnimator Coffee in 2010, roasting their first batches in a basement in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood. Three years of refining their craft led to the opening of their first retail location in 2013, and the roastery has since expanded to five locations across the city. They roast on a 12 kilogram Probat Probatone, favoring lighter profiles that emphasize floral notes, clean acidity, and clarity of origin. Sourcing is relationship driven: they work directly with importers and producers, paying well above Fair Trade minimums for their green coffee even without holding formal certifications. The roastery earned a 2021 Coffee Design Award from the Specialty Coffee Association for its packaging, an extension of the same attention to intentionality that guides every roast.
