So, how to begin? I love coffee, my wife loves coffee, and for many years we have preferred to drink it hot and black. We are far from being kids any more so the need for sugar and milk/cream to mask the sometimes burnt or bitter taste no longer fits with our health and longevity goals, In the past, we drank coffee for the delightful effects of caffeine and we still do! However, about five years ago we discovered the world of specialty coffee and that was a revelation. We now drink coffee for the taste, the taste shaped by growing region, bean variety, soil, altitude, and a competent roaster. The main issue with seeking out such delicious coffees is affordability. Today, you can order all kinds of exotic specialty coffees from many fine roasters throughout the world and we still do. We just didn't want to go broke! What we needed was to find a local coffee roaster who could supply us with diverse, high quality coffee beans at a reasonable cost. We have found that roaster and it is King David Coffee Roasters located in Nashua, NH. We buy only whole bean, light roasted coffee from King David. Our favorites so far are: Organic Fair Trade Peru, Costa Rica Tarrazu, Ethiopian Harrah, and Tanzania Peaberry. We drink those coffees on a daily basis, but do stray every now and then and buy pricier coffees from other quality roasters. We do like our coffee! Since discovering King David we have been quite pleased with the quality of their beans and their value pricing. King David also stocks several dark roasted coffees. We don't drink dark roast, we don't like dark roast, we don't buy dark roast, so we withhold judgement on those coffees. King David does offer an espresso blend which we haven't tried, but our friend who we referred to King David bought their espresso blend and reported it made a very delicious espresso. King David is located upstairs in an older industrial/mill building on Bridge Street in Nashua. If you have the opportunity to visit them, you should - the atmospherics are quite charming, heavy beams, high ceilings, heavy doors, it's all there. The King David space is quite large and the center of attention is their Diedrich coffee roaster. You'll also be greeted by the owner/operator/roaster Carolyn Whitehouse. Whenever I drop in to pick up my beans she is there, and always busy with roasting, packaging, sales, etc. Sometimes there is a second person helping with production tasks but Carolyn is the entrepreneur carrying the heavy daily responsibilities. If you're lucky, you'll be there during a roasting session - ah, the Smokey coffee aromas are so wonderful. If you're very, very lucky, you'll be there during a maple coffee or maple popcorn production run. What a sweet and wonderful aroma! On those days, Carolyn hands you your bag of beans and that aroma is carried out of the building with that bag. It stays with you in your vehicle, gently fading away during your drive home! Of course, you could always skip the visit to King David, order your beans online through their website and avoid the entire sensory experience. Your beans will be delivered to your house via express mail - efficient but not nearly so memorable! King David offers frequent discounts on their offerings. You can check out their offerings through their website www.kingdavidcoffee.com They also have a Facebook page. We take advantage of King David's sales, buying several pounds each time with free shipping. We vacuum pack the beans in individual doses, and keep them in the freezer. This works out very well for us, as we are never out of fresh beans. If you are an avid coffee drinker you really should check out King David Coffee Roasters. Find them on their website, order a bag (ground or whole bean, your choice). Give them a try. These are good people, providing a great product at a fair price. If you love coffee as much as we do - you can't go wrong! read more

Love King David coffee! Freshly ground and great service! I was able to stop by and purchase the coffee at the roasters location. 5 star read more

I acquired a complimentary lb of medium roast coffee from the YouTuber, Carolyn's RV Life. She had King David Coffee Roasters send me the coffee. She has endorsed their coffee and know I certainly would like to as well. I NEVER drink a second cup of coffee back to back in the mornings. But, as I tried this coffee for my first time, I had to go back for a second cup. The coffee has no bitter flavor. It is smooth, creamy and tasty. I am going to check in to signing up for a monthly delivery because the coffee is so good. I highly recommend this to my friends, family and anyone who reads this review. I usually have a cup of coffee in the evenings I am looking forward to my next cup of hot java. Job well done. Support small businesses! read more

Outstanding! Freshest single origin coffee at the best price around. Wonderful people!

Amazing service and its great to see that this place is still open through COVID. I've ordered from here several times and there has never been an issue. The first time I bought coffee as a gift and had it sent to the recipient. The owner read my notes and made me feel confident that it would arrive on time with no receipts. I tried the coffee and it is amazing! read more

I have been purchasing coffee from King David Coffee Roasters for about a year now and I can honestly say that his coffee is my "go to." I have branched out and tried other local roasters but I find myself always coming back here! The aroma of the beans is fantastic and the flavor of the coffee is bold, smooth and well balanced (Celebes Kalossi is my favorite). In addition to a great product, his prices are excellent, and the shipping prompt. I have had the pleasure of emailing and speaking to Mr. Brent via phone and he is a consummate professional, with a passion for his brand and product. All of this wrapped up into one solid reason I will be a return customer! Hoping to get up there and meet him in person one day! read more

Picked up samples today- freshly roasted Colombian and Tanzanian. Can't wait to brew in the morning. Sam the owner took time to show me his operation and discuss his roasting philosophy and style. We also geeked out on brewing, he has an interesting collection of pour overs and Capp machines. Please check out his website! read more

If you can find this place, in an industrial building off of Bridge Street, you'll find the trip worthwhile. The owner sold me probably the best decaffeinated coffee I've ever tasted. He has a wide range of regular coffees, which I'm sure are even better. Once you get inside, head up to the second floor. You can follow the concentration gradient of coffee aroma after you get up there. You'll find the prices very reasonable for the quality of coffee you get. read more

Can't go wrong with Sam at King David Coffee Roasters. His prices are, at a minimum, competitive, with other specialty roasters, if not cheaper. Sam sells a 16 ounce pound, not the 12 ounce "pound" many other roasters sell to try to make their prices look cheaper. Beyond the price, it's the freshness and the flavor of the coffee that sets KDCR apart from the competition. I'm fortunate enough to live locally, and when I pick up my coffee, often time it's been roasted THAT day. Do yourself a favor and order a bag of coffee from Sam at King David Coffee Roasters. Well, I'd recommend ordering at least two, because after your first cup of coffee, you'll kick yourself for only ordering one... read more

Delicious coffees hand roasted. Factory direct pricing. If you're a coffee lover YOU will not be disappointed

Not sure how this place slipped through the cracks. I recently visited King David through a recommendation of a co-worker. You can buy freshly roasted, single origin coffee beans for 1/2 the price of anywhere else. If you love coffee and care about the quality of your beans then this is the only place to go. Sam will tell you all about the beans and when they were roasted. He also gave me a sample of his amazing maple salted kettle corn. This isn't a sit down coffee shop with over priced lattes and free WiFi. You go here to purchase perfectly roasted beans (and kettle corn). It's definitely worth seeking this place out. read more

Great, freshly roasted coffee. Good prices and options. We recently got single serve packs with customized label for a gift bag we were giving away. Quick turnaround and everyone LOVED it! The owner, Sam, took the time to explain a number of options and pricing to us so we were very comfortable with what we purchased. We have had other relatives purchase various coffee products (beans, ground etc) from here and all have had GREAT things to say! read more

By far the best coffee we've ever had! We are spreading the word and you should too! Single origin coffee, freshly roasted, for an amazing price. Sam is passionate about each customer as he is about each bean! He took the time to share his passion and his process, even though it was the end of his day. We purchased Sumatra, Celebes, and Maple coffee. We have shared with family and are currently passing on Sam's information because this is what the world needs: Passionate people with a CLEAN product and CLEAN process. Thanks Sam, we will be reordering soon! Melissa G. read more

We were buying beans roasted in Italy online and then found Sam, just down the street. He is now our go to guy for our coffee fix. He even custom roasts our favorite bean for us to be less oily for our super automatic machine. Quality fresh coffee at a great price, and we are supporting a small family business ! read more

The coffee selections are as varied and tasteful as any roastery I've experienced in southern NH and Eastern MA. The real plus is the coffees are sold in 16 oz. packages at a wholesale price, presently under $10. My experience with other roasters has been a 12oz. pkg. for $14+ read more

I have ordered multiple types of fresh roasted coffee beans and a coffee bean grinder from Sam at King David Coffee and could not be happier with either. The coffee was delivered quickly and tasted great (I live all the way down in Florida and still go out of my way to order from Sam). Sam was knowledgeable and helpful on the phone prior to my order. I had some issues with my grinder (that were not caused by Sam), but he went above and beyond what was expected to make sure my issues were resolved. King David Coffee has my highest recommendation. read more

Sam at KDC has been my go to roaster for years. Many years ago I was on the verge of roasting my own beans since wherever I went over roasting was the in thing. He has a real grasp of proper roasting profiles for varietals IMHO, particularly those that shine with a light touch. So citrus notes are not lost. Even dark roast have not been killed and maintain smoothness and lack bitterness. Careful attention to detail. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed. read more
