Pensacola Coffee Roasters

A great cup of coffee comes down to how the beans were roasted and when. It is important to brew or pull espresso within 5-7 days of roasting to get the best flavor from the bean.

Coffee lovers can pick from a variety of options at a locally owned and operated coffee shop called Constant Coffee & Tea in East Pensacola Heights, just off Scenic Highway. The menu includes seasonal favorites like smoked pumpkin spice, as well as traditional iced and hot beverages. There are also a few off the beaten path options, like the Canal Street au lait, which features actual chunks of pumpkin.

The coffee beans used are 100% artisan roasted and customers are offered signature private-label products, a service that is only available through micro-roasters. MacDaddy’s master roasters are meticulous about selecting the right beans for each batch, and they make sure to keep the beans as cool as possible during the roasting process to ensure that the full spectrum of flavors is preserved in each cup.

A former Sherwood Elementary art teacher, Summer Sevi stayed up late at night to watch the warmed beans as they changed from white to brown and the flavors emerged. She would manually adjust the machine until each 15-minute batch was just right.
