Our Story,

​Northwestern Coffee Mills was founded in 1875 and has prevailed for over 140 years. Harry DeMorest bought the company in Milwaukee WI, when he was 24 years old. He later moved the company to Madeline Island one of the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior, and then back to the mainland. Harry roasted coffee 53 years until his passing. 

Although the company has changed hands a few times since the first days in Milwaukee the tradition and quality lives on.  Here at Northwestern Coffee Mills it truly is More Than a Cup Of Coffee....Its a Way of Life!
