Launched in March of 2022, Mbingo Mountain Coffee, situated in Waterville, Maine, represents the pinnacle of micro roasting companies. The inception of this enterprise can be traced back to the visionary efforts of an African immigrant, who, with a background in coffee and cocoa farming, ventured into the world of electrical engineering before deciding to merge his newfound community in the United States with the rich agricultural traditions of his African heritage through the establishment of the roastery.

At Mbingo Mountain Coffee (MMC), our core mission revolves around delivering coffee of the highest quality, sourced ethically, and roasted to perfection. The foundation of MMC is built upon a profound respect for the rich heritage and unwavering dedication to quality that small-batch coffee roasting embodies. The founder’s African roots and the venerable coffee farming traditions of his lineage have inspired the creation of a brand that transcends the mere offering of exceptional coffee. MMC aspires to forge a bridge between global coffee aficionados and the dedicated farmers in Africa, fostering a community bonded by mutual respect and a shared love for coffee.

MMC’s commitment to direct sourcing and meticulous cultivation practices ensures that each cup of coffee mirrors the meticulous care, expertise, and passion invested in its production. Our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of quality and engaging with the community positions Mbingo Mountain Coffee as a distinguished entity in the specialty coffee industry, celebrated for its dedication to excellence and community connectivity.
