Excerpt From the Article
“Wonderstate Coffee—Roast’s 2025 Macro Roaster of the Year—is a celebration of duality. Even the name evokes two distinct meanings. Is it a nod to a physical state, the wonderful state of Wisconsin, where the company is located? Or is it an emotional state, the feeling of wonder we feel when we sip a truly exceptional cup of coffee, or when we realize the awesome potential coffee has for effecting positive change in the world? That duality is woven into nearly every aspect of the company’s operations.”
