Matt Yarmey started Pure Intentions Coffee in 2011 on a 1/2 lb home roaster in an apartment in Charlotte, North Carolina. After quickly developing a passion for coffee roasting, his enthusiasm for learning pushed Matt to discover his own definition of specialty coffee. Matt found that Charlotte was a changing landscape of old-school coffee drinkers wanting better quality, and newer coffee drinkers seeking easier access to local products created with a craft or specialty focus.
Pure Intentions Coffee began with an idea that everyone deserves a personal experience with great coffee. From the beginning, our portfolio of coffees has been curated to span the spectrum of coffee flavors and consumer experiences:
Current Offerings
- We carry year-round blends that are easy to brew and have very consistent flavor profiles for large-volume or multi-location restaurants and markets looking to please a wide variety of coffee drinkers.
Limited Releases
- We spend a great deal of energy sourcing our Limited Release offerings - interesting, quickly rotating offerings on the cusp of new flavors in coffee; new processing methods; and developing coffee regions that any experienced barista would love to experiment with.
In the beginning, Matt's purest intention was to find a way to meld art, science, and community into a way of life. Pure Intentions Coffee now embodies that ideal by creating coffee and conversations for enthusiasts of all types and preferences; connecting and sharing experiences to grow as a globally sustainable community.
