Featured Employer: Zeke’s Coffee of DC

April 27, 2015 By Cindy Molchany Leave a Comment

ZEKES logoFounder of Zeke’s Coffee, Thomas Rhodes, began as a coffee entrepreneur in 2005 when he sold his first pound of coffee at a Baltimore Farmer’s Market.

Today, Zeke’s coffee can still be found at regional farmer’s markets, but can also be found at a select number of retail outlets as well as at their own roastery/cafés. With three locations, Zeke’s Coffee DC is its newest location with the other two in Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

The Roasting Process

At Zeke’s, we use a fluid bed coffee roaster. Invented by Mike Sivetz, a physicist from Oregon in the 1970’s, fluid bed coffee roasters use hot air to create a fountain of coffee beans.This technique roasts more quickly and uniformly than a conventional drum roaster. We roast to temperature, giving us a more consistent product. Chaff escapes the roast chamber easily, leading to cleaner tasting coffee with more distinct regional flavors.

We roast in small batches. It guarantees freshness. It keeps us honest. Our roaster holds 12 pounds of coffee, compared to the 150 pounds that a standard roaster holds. Because of this, we put more time, more labor, and a little more of ourselves into each bean. You can taste the difference.
