Abracadabra Coffee Co

Abracadabra Coffee Co. is a self-described 'micro micro roaster' operating out of Woodstock, Vermont. Co-owner Clint Hunt came to roasting through years of barista work in Columbus, Ohio before relocating to Vermont with the original intent of running a goat cheese farm. Recognizing a gap in the local specialty coffee market — Hunt noted he'd have to drive at least 30 miles for good coffee — the pair pivoted to roasting, though they still maintain the goats. The operation is notably small-scale: as profiled by the YouTube channel Unpacking Coffee, the early business was run by two people handling roasting, branding, and even hand-stamping or drawing on their packaging, while also selling at Vermont farmers markets.

The roaster's philosophy is stated plainly in their own words, captured on camera by the channel American Coffee Trip: 'seasonally sourced slammin' single origin coffees since day one — we select only the tastiest, nuanced, out of this world coffees and do our best to represent them and not f*** 'em up.' Single-origin is not a marketing angle here but an apparent operational commitment; no blends appear in the available sourcing. Wholesale offerings include bulk coffee, retail bags, cold brew cans, and nitro cold brew on draft, and they provide coffee program consulting, staff training, and menu development to trade accounts.

A concrete example of their sourcing appears in American Coffee Trip's brew video: an El Salvador SL28 with black honey processing, carrying tasting notes of black currant, brown butter, chocolate, and raspberry. Brewed as a cezve (Turkish coffee), the reviewer found the cup 'very sweet and very fruity,' with raspberry particularly prominent and brown butter emerging on the finish — describing it as a coffee with real depth that rewards different brewing methods differently. The café itself operates out of a vintage 1964 Shasta trailer, open seven days a week, and offers a full coffee menu with seasonally rotating signature drinks, house-made syrups, liège waffles, donuts, and canelés.
