About Coffee

There is a lot to know about coffee. GPC roasters and baristas are self professed coffee geeks, and are constantly seeking out new information on the subject. The more we learn, the more we know that we have only scratched the surface. While we could never hope to provide a definitive source for information on coffee, we hope this section of the website will give you some background information and, most importantly, whet your appetite to learn more.

Here you will find a brief history of coffee and learn about how it is grown and roasted. You will also learn how to store and brew your coffee once it is in your possession (to find some excellent coffee, be sure to check out our online store.)
