Arbuckles' Coffee began in the post Civil War Era of the 19th Century. Two brothers, John and Charles Arbuckle, initiated a new concept in the coffee industry; selling roasted coffee in one pound packages. Until that time, coffee was sold green and had to be roasted in a skillet over a fire or in a wood stove. The Arbuckle Brothers were able to roast a coffee that was of consistently exceptional quality and the first to be packaged in one pound bags. Arbuckles' Ariosa Blend became so popular in the Old West that most cowboys didn't even know that there was any other. Arbuckles' Coffee was prominent in such infamous cow towns as Dodge City and Tombstone. The Arbuckle Brothers enjoyed immense success into the 20th Century. However, the company was broken up by the family in the late 1930's. In 1974, Pat and Denney Willis were concerned with the inconsistent quality of coffee they were forced to serve in their restaurants. Pat and Denney knew that they could promise a consistently good cup of coffee, better than the competition; just what the Arbuckle Brothers had promised and fulfilled over 100 years earlier. Arbuckles' Coffee was reborn. Arbuckles' Coffee has garnered many acclaims throughout the coffee industry for their commitment to providing the consumer with freshly roasted coffee. Arbuckle operates their roasting facility deep in the heart of the Old West in historic Tucson, Arizona. Arbuckles' has resurrected the Original Arbuckles Ariosa Blend. It is packaged whole bean or ground in 1LB bags with a Peppermint stick, just as the Arbuckle Brothers had done over a century ago. John Arbuckle's hand written notes, before 1914, show he was trying to create a roasting process that suspended the coffee bean in air to avoid scorching from the hot metal roasting drum. It was not until the mid 1970's that Michael Sivetz patented a workable hot air roaster. Arbuckle now uses the hot air roasting process to bring you the coffee that won the west!
