Savoring the Slow Brew: A Local Love Story with KS Coffee
Waitsfield, Vermont

FREE COFFEE TASTING WITH KAREN THIS SATURDAY, 8-11:30AM!

There’s a quiet kind of magic that happens when passion meets purpose — and you’ll find it in every bag of KS Coffee.

Tucked in the scenic Mad River Valley, KS Coffee is more than just a small-batch roastery. It’s the heartfelt creation of Karen, a one-woman show who believes coffee should be approachable, comforting, and full of joy. For her, roasting coffee isn’t just about flavor — it’s about connection. It’s about creating something beautiful from the inside out and offering it up as a small daily ritual that makes life a little sweeter.

Roasted with Care, Right Here in Waitsfield

Every bean at KS Coffee is roasted right here in Waitsfield, Vermont. Karen’s operation is small on purpose — she hand-selects her beans, roasts in micro batches, and always keeps quality front and center. That means no mass production, no shortcuts, and no pretentious jargon — just really good coffee from someone who cares.

Whether you prefer a mellow medium roast, a rich dark roast, or something in between, each variety is roasted to bring out the best in every bean. Her roasts are balanced and flavorful, smooth and satisfying — the kind of coffee that makes you pause and enjoy the moment.

From Ritual to Relationship

What sets KS Coffee apart is Karen herself. She's not just a roaster — she’s a community-builder. Her warmth, thoughtfulness, and creativity come through in everything she does, from the hand-stamped labels on each bag to her joyful, down-to-earth presence at local markets and pop-ups.

KS Coffee isn’t about being fancy — it’s about being real. Karen’s mission is to make great coffee accessible and inviting, without ego or overwhelm. She’s here for the curious sipper and the devoted daily drinker alike, creating space for everyone to enjoy the ritual of a good cup.
