Why we started Gigawatt
Twenty years a private investigator. Then he made his own coffee.
Eli spent over 20 years on the road and couldn’t find a good cup of coffee in a lot of the places he went. When he did, it was overpriced.
So in 2020, Eli and Jen started roasting better, affordable coffee themselves.

Just smooth, clean coffee in every cup.
100% Air-Roasted
Hot air suspends and roasts each bean evenly — no scorching, no burnt spots.
Clean & Aromatic
Air roasting brings out the bean's natural aromatics without smoky residue.
Full Flavor
Taste coffee the way it's meant to be — rich, nuanced, and never masked by bitterness.
Experience the air-roasted difference and taste coffee the way it's meant to be.
How Air Roasting Removes the Bitter Taste for a Smoother Cup
What is Chaff and How Does It Affect Your Coffee?
Chaff is the dry outer skin of the coffee bean that burns during traditional roasting, causing that bitter, harsh taste you’ve probably experienced with other coffees.
We remove the chaff using air roasting, so every cup you brew is smoother, cleaner, and full of rich, balanced flavor. Say goodbye to bitterness and enjoy coffee the way it’s meant to be—smooth, rich, and never bitter.
