This week we interview owner and head roaster of Rubel Roasting, PJ Rubel. 

Rubel roasting was started as a fun side project for Regionals athlete PJ Rubel. A multi time Regionals competitor, PJ took his love and dedication for fitness and applied that same work ethic to Rubel Roasting. A “more is not better” approach, PJ personally roasts each and every batch of Rubel Coffee himself in his 2 bedroom apartment in San Jose.

This is what makes Rubel Roasting unique. They only roast their beans AFTER you place the order!!! This is un heard of, in the Coffee industry. In a “more is better” world, PJ stands out in his passion to deliver the freshest cup of coffee you’ve ever had, every morning.

And now Coast Range Podcast has partnered with Rubel Roasting and is offering 10% off your order when you use the code: Coast Range at check out.

If you’re a little nervous about switching beans just yet, send PJ an email and he’ll send you some free samples.

We truly enjoyed our time with PJ and loved watching the delicate process with witch he makes every batch of coffee. Thank you again to Rubel Roasting and PJ for allowing us to spend the day with you!
