Nick and Tara Greeley – the Craft of Roasting Coffee at Tinderbox

Meet Nick and Tara!  This great article is written and not video. But the story and these two awesome personalities, Nick and Tara of  Tinderbox Coffee Roasters,  are too wonderful not to share with you!   Thanks to writer By Chelsea Royer and the "Grays Harbor TALK" for this story:  In the Northwest, coffee is a culture unlike anywhere else in the US. I love the fact that even in a place as remote as Grays Harbor, I have access to the warmth of a hand-crafted espresso. Thanks to Nick and Tara Greeley, you can find a cozy nook and a cup of coffee as close to the ocean as Westport.

Though both in the medical field, the Greeley’s have had a twenty-year-long coffee journey that began with a stovetop espresso maker and continues as an obsession. For years they jotted down ideas, sampled espresso from different shops, and thought about what they would do if they ever had the opportunity to open a coffee house of their own. It was in the most unexpected fashion that their dreams were finally realized.

“I was working in the ER and ran into a mental health professional named, Ben. He had just come off a 24-hour shift and was looking pretty ragged, so I asked him, ‘Are you ready for your second career yet? Maybe you should try opening a coffee shop.’
