Douglas Pinto and his wife Daria founded Steel Cup Coffee Roasters as a family business in New Kensington, Pennsylvania. The roastery sources exclusively Fair Trade and USDA Certified Organic coffees from ethical cooperatives around the world, and their facility holds Pennsylvania Certified Organic status. All coffee is roasted in small batches on a roaster imported from Türkiye and packaged to order, with eco friendly compostable bags and only USDA approved organic cleaning products used throughout the facility. Steel Cup is a roastery where the values are baked into the operation rather than bolted on.
