What collective coffee roasters does

Collective Coffee Roasters (CCR) is a privately held specialty coffee company headquartered at 405 Silver St., Elko, Nevada, founded in 2017 by Garret and Delynn Kamps, with Casey Parish as co-owner. The company operates a wholesale distributor and direct-to-consumer specialty coffee business, sourcing single-origin and blend coffees from named producers in Guatemala (Villatoro family/El Diamante, Guatemala Ella via Onyx Coffee Lab), Costa Rica (CoopeDota, La Pastora), Rwanda (Coocamu cooperative), Nicaragua (bridazul/Old World Coffee), Honduras, Colombia, and Brazil, and roasting on a Probat P12 drum roaster instrumented with thermocouples and roast-control software.

The product catalog comprises 10 coffee SKUs (six single-origins, three blends, one sample pack) priced $17–$27 per 12oz bag, plus a 12-SKU brewing equipment line reselling third-party brands including Fellow, Saint Anthony Industries, and Mahlkönig at $22–$599. Go-to-market runs through two primary channels: a Shopify-based D2C storefront with a recurring subscription tier (weekly/bi-weekly/monthly, free shipping on subscription) and a dedicated B2B wholesale portal serving restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, and coffee shops across Nevada and the broader Western US. The company also operates a physical retail location at its Elko headquarters. CCR is structured as a Nevada LLC with no institutional funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

The business model spans four revenue streams: one-time coffee product sales, recurring subscription deliveries, B2B wholesale distribution, and hardware resale of brewing equipment. Customer segments are split between individual home coffee enthusiasts served D2C and SMB wholesale partners in food and beverage; the company positions itself on direct-trade sourcing transparency, community-focused wholesale partnerships, and an educational content layer (Coffee Culture page, blog, social) intended to build brand in a small-market, low-competition geography.

Direct peers

• Onyx Coffee Lab: Specialty coffee roaster with a strong single-origin and competition-coffee focus, direct farmer relationships in Guatemala, and a D2C-plus-wholesale model. CCR explicitly cites Onyx as a core sourcing partner for its Guatemala Ella lot, making it the closest comparable in craft positioning.
• Verve Coffee Roasters: Specialty roaster combining D2C subscriptions, wholesale to cafes, and retail cafes on the West Coast. Comparable in scale-up trajectory from small roaster to multi-channel specialty brand.
• Heart Coffee Roasters: Portland-based specialty roaster focused on single-origin, light-roast profiles and direct farmer relationships. Comparable in craft positioning, single-origin menu, and small-batch wholesale distribution.
• Counter Culture Coffee: Specialty roaster known for sustainability, direct trade, and education-driven wholesale. Comparable in farmer relationship depth, single-origin focus, and wholesale-to-cafe GTM motion.
• Ritual Coffee Roasters: Bay Area specialty roaster with strong single-origin lineup, D2C, wholesale, and cafe operations. Comparable in craft positioning and multi-channel specialty distribution.
• Stumptown Coffee Roasters: Iconic specialty roaster combining D2C subscriptions, wholesale, branded cafes, and bottled cold brew. Comparable in product categories (single-origin, blends, subscriptions) and wholesale-plus-DTC model, though operating at much larger scale.
• Intelligentsia Coffee: Pioneering third-wave roaster with strong direct-trade program, single-origin focus, and wholesale-to-cafe distribution. Comparable in sourcing philosophy and specialty positioning.
• Blue Bottle Coffee: Specialty roaster with D2C subscriptions, wholesale accounts, and a national cafe footprint. Comparable across all major revenue streams (beans, subscriptions, wholesale) though at substantially larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• La Colombe Coffee Roasters: Multi-channel specialty roaster combining wholesale, branded cafes, and RTD draft latte beverages. Overlaps with CCR's bean and subscription business but operates at a much larger scale and across RTD categories CCR does not.
• Peet's Coffee: Large established coffee roaster with national grocery, foodservice, and D2C presence. Represents the scaled incumbent end of the specialty-adjacent wholesale bean market CCR competes in for grocery and cafe accounts.
