Colorado Coffee Merchants

Colorado Coffee Merchants is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster and café founded in 2004 by owner Eric Umenhofer, located at 302 E. Fillmore St. in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The shop is known for its distinctive air-roasting (fluid bed roasting) method, which elevates beans on heated air rather than hot metal for a cleaner, more consistent roast, and roasts fresh beans every single day to preserve peak flavor. Committed to working with local businesses and serving the community, the shop has become a beloved neighborhood fixture, offering globally sourced coffee blends, breakfast, and popular Friday steak nights in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
