History
In early 2014, Jeff and Steve officially formed Tinker Coffee Co. and found a building to house their operations in the historic Herron-Morton Place district of Indianapolis. They purchased a 1991 Probat L-12 and began roasting specialty coffee. After months of learning, trial and error, and tinkering (pun very intentional), they began producing and selling coffee that met their high standards. By 2018, it was time to find a bigger space. Tinker Coffee's new home is at 1125 West 16th, a building that gives the company the room to continue to grow and the room for the state of the art Loring S35 Kestrel roaster. To the guys, being part of an industry that reaches out to nearly every corner of the globe and brings back a product that contributes to the advancement of developing nations and local economies is an incredible and unique opportunity. They love nothing more than sharing their passion for coffee with their customers, and hope you enjoy their roasts and much as they do.
