History
Menelaos, George and Megaklis started New England Coffee in a building at the corner of Milk and Broad Streets in Boston, where hand-roasted coffee was delivered by horse and wagon. The first truck was purchased in 1918, when other family members started to join the business.
New England Coffee Company Headquarters
In 1966, after outgrowing several homes in succession, New England Coffee finally settled into their present location at 100 Charles Street in Malden, Massachusetts. Today, New England Coffee occupies five buildings and has hugely expanded their manufacturing and packaging capabilities.
Coffee BagsWhile they have grown into a much larger coffee roasting operation since their founding, their philosophy still remains the same – to buy and sell premium coffee and provide quality service. New England Coffee only uses 100% Arabica beans in all of their products. New England Coffee offers coffee blends, flavored coffees, full-bodied dark roasts and blends from locations such as Colombia, Sumatra and Costa Rica. Among the most pervasive varieties are Decaffeinated Colombian and Colombian Supremo which have both been reviewed by Consumer Reports.[4]
