Our first blog post!!

☕ A Little Hello From Mike — Our Very First Blog Post

Hey there — I’m Mike King, owner of Rogue Island Coffee.

Figured it was about time I sat down (with a fresh cup, of course) and wrote our very first blog post.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re already a part of our little coffee crew. Maybe you’ve ordered a bag, followed us on Instagram, or bumped into me somewhere on Aquidneck Island. Either way, I’m really glad you’re here.

So, why Rogue Island Coffee?

I started Rogue Island Coffee because I love good coffee — and I love where I live.

I wanted to bring fresh, small-batch roasted coffee to our community without the big markups or stale, mass-produced stuff you find in stores. We roast right here on the island and ship it directly to your door, so you always get coffee that’s actually fresh (trust me, it makes a world of difference).

I like to think it’s coffee that’s honest, local, and made for everyday folks who just want a great cup to start their day.

What you’ll find here

I’m kicking off this blog to give you a peek behind the scenes — a place where we can share more than just what’s in your mug. Expect:

Stories from around the island that inspire what we do

Tips on brewing the perfect cup at home

Maybe a few goofy moments (because it’s just me, my roaster, and a bunch of beans trying to keep up)

Mostly, I want this to feel like a chat between friends.

Thanks for being here

Seriously. Thanks for supporting a small, local business and letting me be a part of your mornings. Whether you’re grabbing a bag for yourself, brewing a pot for your family, or telling your buddies about “this local coffee guy named Mike,” it means more than you know.

If you ever want to swap stories, have questions about your coffee, or just want to say hi — reach out anytime. I’d love that.

Here’s to many more mornings together.
