We’re incredibly honored to share that Makeworth Coffee has been nominated as a Top 8 Finalist for the Sprudge Notable Roaster of the Year Award. For us, this recognition represents far more than a title. It is a meaningful affirmation of the values, people, and partnerships that define everything we do.

Sprudge’s Notable Roaster of the Year Award celebrates coffee roasters who demonstrate excellence, integrity, and impact across the specialty coffee industry. To be named among the top eight roasters is both humbling and energizing. It tells us that the intentional choices we make every day, from sourcing to roasting to service, are being felt beyond our walls.

At Makeworth, our approach to coffee has always been long-term and relationship-driven. This nomination reflects the collective effort of our entire supply chain. It starts with the producers and farming families we partner with, whose skill, innovation, and stewardship of the land make exceptional coffee possible. Their commitment to quality and sustainability is the foundation of everything we roast.

It continues through our importing and logistics partners, who help ensure transparency, equity, and consistency, and into our roastery team, who approach each coffee with precision, care, and deep respect for its origin. Every roast profile, quality check, and bag packed is done with the goal of honoring the work that came before it.

Finally, this recognition belongs to our community, including our wholesale partners, café collaborators, and customers who choose Makeworth Coffee and believe in what we’re building. Your trust pushes us to keep raising the bar.

Being named a Top 8 Finalist for Sprudge Notable Roaster of the Year reinforces our confidence in the path we’re on. We’re grateful, proud, and more committed than ever to producing coffee that is thoughtful, transparent, and truly excellent at every step, from farm to cup.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
