From Our Partners: Success Stories
“The roasters at Pool Six are so consistent with their quality, availability and timeliness of deliveries. The responsiveness to any problems I may have helps my business succeed.”
— Owner, Mugby Junction Coffee
“I have been working with Carew from the ground up of my coffee shop and I would recommend his roasts to anyone! I get compliments all the time and have converted people to his coffee that have been long time ‘Folgers’ consumers. Working with Pool Six Roasters has been so amazing! They are very helpful from describing what roasts they have available all the way to setting up a slick easy way to pay and receive the delicious beans.”
— Danette, Owner, She Brews Coffee
“I run quite a ‘Bizzy’ drive thru coffee shop in the town of New Richmond WI! When I started my endeavor on opening my coffee shop, I was looking for the perfect roast that I wanted to bring into my store. I stopped at Mugby Junction in Winona MN for a quick pick me up and my first sip I knew it was the best tasting coffee I’ve ever had! I reached out to Carew and he was instantly excited to help me and roast my beans! He drove the 2 hours to meet me and the rest is history. 3 years later I still receive freshly roasted beans delivered right to the shop weekly, on time, every time. Carew not only roasts my beans, he is also my mentor, he helped me through my first 2 weeks while I opened, taking many phone calls from me and giving great advice. Again, 3 years later, I can rely on amazing tasty coffee and a great friend. Pool Six Coffee Roasters is the bee’s knees and will forever be my go to roaster!”
— Erin, Owner, Bizzy Bean
