Meet the Soul Caffeine Roastery Team: Behind the Beans and the Bar

Have you ever wondered who's behind the magic at Soul Caffeine, crafting those perfect brews that brighten your day? Let's pull back the curtain and introduce you to the passionate team behind the beans at the Roastery. 

Taylor: Roaster and Barista

Taylor is a multifaceted talent at Soul Caffeine, seamlessly blending her roles as a roaster and barista. Her journey in the coffee world is as rich and complex as the coffee she creates.

With experience as the former head roaster at Roseline Coffee, Taylor brings a wealth of knowledge to our team. Her expertise shines through in every batch of beans she roasts and every cup she serves at our Dauphin Street location.

But there's more to Taylor than just coffee. She's also a dedicated student at USA, pursuing a future in social work. This blend of passion for coffee and community perfectly embodies the Soul Caffeine spirit.

Eric: The Coffee Nerd

Meet Eric, our owner and head roaster, whose enthusiasm for coffee is truly contagious. Eric's not just a coffee lover; he's a self-proclaimed coffee nerd with an insatiable appetite for knowledge about all things coffee.

Eric's passion lies in discovering unique beans and experimenting with exciting taste profiles. His adventurous spirit keeps our coffee offerings fresh and exciting, always pushing the boundaries of what coffee can be.

But Eric's life isn't all about coffee. He's a family man, a leader in Scouting America, and an avid Auburn Football fan. This blend of interests adds depth to his character and influences the warm, community-focused atmosphere at Soul Caffeine.

Passion for Unique Coffee Beans

At Soul Caffeine, we're always on the hunt for extraordinary coffee beans that tell a story and delight the senses. Our commitment to quality and uniqueness sets us apart.

Exploring Coffee Profiles

Coffee profiles are like fingerprints - each one unique and telling. At Soul Caffeine, we dive deep into the world of flavor notes, aromas, and textures that make each coffee special.

Our team, led by Eric, is constantly exploring new coffee profiles. We consider factors like origin, altitude, processing method, and roast level to create a diverse palette of flavors.

From bright and fruity Ethiopian beans to rich and chocolatey Brazilian varieties, we aim to offer a range that caters to every coffee lover's palate. This exploration isn't just about variety - it's about showcasing the incredible diversity of coffee.

Crafting the Perfect Roast

Roasting is where science meets art in the coffee world. Our team at Soul Caffeine approaches each roast with precision and passion, aiming to bring out the best in every bean.

The roasting process involves careful temperature control and timing. We monitor the beans closely, listening for the 'first crack' and watching for color changes that indicate the development of flavors.

Our goal is to highlight each bean's unique characteristics. Sometimes this means a light roast to preserve delicate floral notes, other times a darker roast to enhance body and sweetness. It's a delicate balance, and we're always refining our craft.

Behind the Beans and Bar

Step into our world and discover the magic that happens both in our roastery and at our coffee bar. It's where passion meets precision, and where every cup tells a story.

Every week we roast fresh beans for our wonderful customers. Whether you drink coffee in one of our cafes or you have our beans shipped to you, we hope you love our coffee.
