About Ancora Coffee: Ancora Coffee Roasters was inspired by George and Sue Krug's love of espresso and specialty coffees. After intensive training with a master roaster and coffee mentors in Seattle and completion of an extensive study of specialty coffee industry, the Krug's embarked on their dream business locating themselves in Madison, WI.
As its start, Ancora Coffee Roasters consisted of a single in-store roasting operation. The retail setting provided short-term operating cash flow for the company's two-fold growth objective:
To insure the Ancora Coffee Roasters brand become widely identified as the Midwest's premier regional specialty coffee roaster and purveyor.
To create a specialty coffee roasting wholesale division.
Over the past 18 years in business they have maintained a successful retail presence in Madison and built a wholesale business that extends across the United States. As a result, their mission to celebrate and share the enjoyment of coffee carries on for many.
