United States | Barnie's Coffee & Tea Company has announced the addition of a second coffee roasting production shift at its 12,000-square-foot plant in Orlando. Barnie's Coffee added the second shift to generate approximately 2,200 bags per day, which doubles the roasted coffee output significantly needed to meet the high demand for coffee.
"Even in an extremely competitive marketplace, demand for our coffee and tea products, especially our nationally famous Santa's White Christmas coffee, is strongly combined with the ability to maximise and internalise usage of our high-capacity Dietrich roasting equipment," stated the CEO of Barnie's Coffee, Ron Pecora.
In 2023 alone, more than 10 million cups of the company's Santa's White Christmas Coffee were consumed throughout the year. The total roasted coffee production in 2024 is projected to be more than 500,000 pounds.
Barnie's Coffee & Tea Company, founded in 1980, offers whole bean and ground coffee, plus flavoured single-serve cups. Next year, six new Limited Time Only flavours will be created and available to sip. Barnie's Coffee plans to bring customer favourites back from Barnie's vault, too.
In addition to its online store, the 43-year-old company offers products on other online platforms such as Amazon and in select grocery stores like Publix and Winn Dixie throughout the Southeast of the United States. Barnie's Coffee & Tea Company has a flagship cafe located in Winter Park, but has operated in collaboration with partnered cafés in the Orlando International Airport Terminal C, the Hitt Library at the University of Central Florida, Stetson University, Rollins College, Seminole County Schools, and the Orlando Science Centre.
