Haciendo Coffee Roasters (Taylor, TX)
Haciendo Coffee Roasters
Family-owned, Latin-inspired air roaster based in Taylor, Texas (approx. 30 miles northeast of Austin). Participates in the San Antonio Coffee Festival as an “official roaster.” Note: their SA Coffee Festival page lists their location as “San Antonio, Texas” — the discrepancy is unresolved; primary sources consistently say Taylor, TX.
Founding year and founder names are not published on the site as of 2026-05-21.
Roasting method
Air roasted (fluid bed roasting) using equipment from Coffee Crafters. The company positions this as a differentiator — fluid bed roasting circulates hot air to roast the beans without drum contact, producing a lighter, cleaner cup profile.
Lead roaster: Billy Wiginton

- Sustainability — environmentally friendly farming, fair producer wages, minimized carbon footprint
- Direct Trade — direct relationships with producers to ensure fair prices
- Brewing Mastery — diverse techniques (pour-over, AeroPress, siphon)
- Artisanal Craftsmanship — treating coffee as a craft product
- Education — tastings and workshops for community learning
