Hudson Valley Coffee Roasters

Hudson Valley Coffee Roasters, Inc. began its life as a small coffee house. It was nestled halfway between NYC and New York State’s capitol, Albany, located on the west bank of the majestic Hudson River.

HVCR, started in a small storefront, with just a few tables, an espresso machine, and a 12 kilo Diedrich Coffee Roaster that produced unbelievable coffee. It did not take long, in this Hudson River community, for the word to spread about the best coffee in town and within two years HVCR had to move. We settled into a wonderful old factory building alive with dignity and natural beauty.

At that location, HVCR, maintained a very successful business; a charming coffeehouse with a homey, friendly atmosphere and an integral part of Newburgh’s renewal. For 15 years, Hudson Valley Coffee Roasters provided great food, delicious homemade desserts, and terrific coffees.

As new proprietors and devoted customers to HVCR, we know that small batch roasting is paramount to specialty grade coffee. The flavor, body, and aroma of small batch roasting are undeniably superior. We will continue this tradition and provide our customers with quality coffees supervised and roasted to perfection by our Roast master, Trish Tuber. And yes, HVCR still has one of the original 12 kilo Diedrich Roasters, the cornerstone of Nick and Angela’s success, and it continues to separate what we do from the rest of the pack.

What HVCR have learned is that as coffee roasters grow, most tend to upgrade their equipment in an effort to keep up with demand ( which is a natural reaction to success) and purchase larger roasters...   However, specialty grade coffees like and need to be handled in small batches with the constant supervision of an experienced Roastmaster. The flavor, body, and aroma of small batch roasting is undeniably superior. As the new owers of HVCR we will maintain the integrity of our coffee roasting process to bring you the best cup of coffee around.

Hudson Valley Coffee Roasters is in a unique position, being so close to major ports of entry in both New York City and New Jersey, at the same time. Coffee brokers keep their offices near storage warehouses. This allows them to personally drop in, visit their brokers and almost always “cup” coffee in their lab (cupping is a term used in the industry to evaluate various qualities of a particular coffee bean). We drive directly to the warehouse where we select, inspect, and load the coffees into our van. Not many Roasters are able to hand select and oversee their own inventory directly from the importers, and this ability is another reason why HVCR is able to create the best coffees in the world!
