THE ALASKA ROASTING COFFEE CO.

BORN IN ALASKA. BUILT ON A PASSION FOR EXCEPTIONAL COFFEE.

The Vision of Michael Gesser — Founder & Master Roaster

Great coffee has always been more than a beverage to Michael Gesser. It's a lifelong passion shaped by travel, discovery, and an uncompromising pursuit of quality.

Long before founding Alaska Coffee Roasting Company in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1993, Michael traveled the world exploring coffee-producing regions, spending years in Kenya and building personal relationships with coffee growers. These experiences gave him a deep appreciation for the origins of exceptional coffee and the craftsmanship required to bring out its unique character.

His philosophy was simple: great coffee begins with exceptional beans, but it takes knowledge, precision, and dedication to reveal their full potential.

Rather than following mass-production methods, Michael focused on carefully selected single-estate coffees, precise roasting techniques, and tasting every batch to ensure the highest standards of quality.

His commitment to freshness and consistency led him to embrace fluid-bed roasting technology, allowing precise control over the roasting process while preserving the distinctive aromas and flavors of each coffee.

Over three decades later, that same philosophy continues to define Alaska Coffee Roasting Company.

A LEGACY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP. A NEW CHAPTER IN COLD BREW.

Alaska Cold Brew is a natural evolution of that passion.

We've taken decades of experience in selecting, roasting, and preparing specialty coffee and applied that knowledge to a new approach to cold brew.

Freshly roasted, carefully brewed in small batches, and enhanced with wild-harvested Alaskan chaga mushrooms, our cold brew reflects the same dedication to quality, freshness, and attention to detail that has guided us since the beginning.

The coffee always comes first. The chaga adds another distinctive dimension to the experience.

From the first bean to the final pouch, every detail matters.
