Carib Bean Coffee Roasters
Carib Bean Coffee Roasters roasts in English Harbour, Saint Paul Parish.
Since 1997
Overview
Carib Bean Coffee Roasters has been operating from a hilltop on Horsford Hill above Falmouth Harbour since 1997, making it Antigua's only commercial specialty coffee roaster. The roastery runs a Sivetz fluid-bed roaster — known locally as 'The Bean Machine' — using pure convective heat transfer rather than the traditional drum, and roasts to order daily for restaurants, yachts, and retail across the island and neighboring Caribbean states.

Why it matters
Falmouth Harbour is one of the densest superyacht hubs in the Caribbean, and Carib Bean's hilltop roastery is the local specialty backbone of that economy — custom-blending and labelling for individual yachts and villas. As a Caribbean fluid-bed-roaster operator since 1997, it predates most other regional specialty operations by a decade or more.
