About Us


It Starts Here

We source only the finest, top 2% specialty grade Arabica green coffee, from around the world. Before we ever import our specialty coffee beans, they have passed the expert analysis and cupping palates of one of the world's best specialty coffee importers. The green coffee we source and purchase is far more expensive than lower grade coffee. Many large national brands, use a lower so-called "premium" grade coffee, a term common (a bit misleading) in the coffee industry. We simply avoid cheap, low grade coffees, which contributes to our highly rated and popular specialty coffee.

In Pursuit of Perfection

Not all coffee is created equal. We are first and foremost artisan craft roasters and strive for perfection in every hand-crafted artisan roast. While we may be very proud of our coffee, at the end of the day, it is the opinion of the consumer that actually matters most. In today's world, consumers vote with their online reviews. For instance, one of our wholesale coffee shop clients was voted by their own customers, in a CBS/WCCO TV online poll, as the "Best Coffee Shop" in the entire state. Our own trademarked Jo Coffee® brand has become one of Amazon's highest rated organic coffee brands nationwide, with over 10000+ Five Star coffee reviews. Consumers always respond to high quality.

How We Began

We do not even have a sales staff. We are truly blessed to have grown by quality, reputation, and word-of-mouth referrals. The founder's (Kevin Kapaun) passion for coffee started as a hobby, home roasting coffee for friends and family, but was headed for something a bit larger. He roasted some Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee for his friends, Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame bass player Larry Graham and his wife Tina, as an anniversary present. Larry said "creating coffee is your art" and encouraged Kevin to start a roastery. He was his first customer. Today, in addition to an artisan micro roastery, Specialty Java Inc. produces several in-house brands plus many private label coffee brands in multiple roasting plants.
