For over a century, Paul deLima Coffee has roasted and packaged coffee in central New York for its own retail line and for businesses seeking private-label production. At its Cicero roasting plant, built in 1990, trained cuppers evaluate coffee from origin through finished package, combining sensory judgment with detailed testing for consistent results. The company also operates a Liverpool headquarters and distribution campus, created after acquiring and reviving the former Crouse Hinds facilities in 2005.

• Unique Coffee RoastersStarting in a one-car garage, Unique Coffee Roasters now brings more than 25 years of roasting experience to freshly roasted coffee for New York customers. The Staten Island roaster selects 100% Arabica beans from growing regions around the world and uses closed-cylinder roasting, keeping flames off the beans while drawing out their individual character. Its coffee is available as whole bean, ground, and subscription offerings, including compatible pods.STATEN ISLAND, NY
• Finger Lakes Coffee RoastersSince opening beside the Erie Canal in Bushnell’s Basin in 1996, Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters has turned carefully selected Arabica beans into craft-roasted coffee at its Victor, New York, facility. Owners and roastmasters Bob Cowdery and Larry Werges built the company around small-batch roasting, continual sample roasting and cupping, and freshness—an approach that has made its Canandaigua Blend and more than 100 other coffees familiar across the Finger Lakes and Western New York. The roastery is certified organic by NOFA-NY and offers Fair Trade Organic coffees while composting coffee grounds and reusing roasting chaff locally.VICTOR, NY
