Worcester's coffee story

Good As Gold began in 1969 with a father and two sons putting drip brewers and pre-measured coffee packs into workplaces. In 1973, back from six months in the Middle East and Europe, son Dan opened Old World Coffees and Teas to show customers the Chemex and the moka pot. The company moved to Green Street in 1983.

Over in Northborough, the Armeno Cereal Company milled wheat for bulgur and couscous from 1908. Paul Kalenian, whose family ran the mill, started roasting coffee in the building in 1994 and sold the business six years later to two longtime employees, Chuck Coffman and John Parks. The Diedrich drum roasters sit near a Carter disk separator left from the cereal days.

How we chose these roasters

Every roaster here roasts in Massachusetts and was operating when we read its own site, on the date its card shows (the list itself was last checked 2026-09-27). Facts come from each roaster's own pages, written in our words; we take nothing from reviews and show no ratings. No roaster pays to be listed, and a listing does not mean the roaster is part of the club. Run a roaster here and something is off? Email coffee@baystatecoffeeclub.com and we correct or remove the page.
