About
In 1971, Tom Isaia purchased his first espresso machine, a Faema E-61, and opened the Blind Pig Café in Ann Arbor. Then, in 1975, he founded Coffee Express Co., where he began importing, selling, and servicing Rancilio brand espresso machines. As our business grew, we quickly became the preferred choice among coffee houses and retailers in the area.
By 1982, we started roasting operations on North Main St. in Ann Arbor, becoming Michigan's leading roaster of specialty and organic coffee. We focused exclusively on specialty coffee beans (most coffee roasters in those days provided general, institutional blends). Finally, in 1997, our roasting operations expanded, and we moved to Plymouth, where we are today.

Modern History
The world of specialty coffee today is much like it was in 1982. While there are now many more independent roasters than there were back then, the types of coffees remain familiar, including Colombia Supremo, Kenya AA, Yemen Mocha, and Italian Roast. When categorized by region, you can still find Guatemala Antigua, Sumatra Mandheling, and Costa Rica Tarrazu.
With the rise of skilled baristas and the increasing number of specialty coffee roasters worldwide, the market continues to expand and become more discerning. Additionally, the industry has become even more specialized through collaboration with small farms, exploration of new varietals, identification of processing methods, experimentation with roasting styles, and testing various percentages of solids in brewed coffee. The level of knowledge and interest in coffee is truly remarkable.
