About Penstock Coffee Roasters

Penstock is a gateway for stories—where ideas and experiences are freely exchanged and where building community truly connects us. We strive to know the people who grow and process our coffee, and we want you to know them too. You are both equal parts of a story that started with a desire to make a better cup of coffee. It begins with supporting and serving the coffee-producing community more than fairly, and continues by bringing people together. Quality, craft, and transparency are important. Where your coffee comes from and who you share it with—are everything. FROM OQ COFFEE TO PENSTOCK COFFEE ROASTERS For those who knew us as OQ Coffee Co., we appreciate your dedication over the past 7+ years. And we want you to know that we haven’t gone anywhere. WE STILL BELIEVE IN STARTING A CONVERSATION. WE JUST WANT TO INCLUDE MORE PEOPLE. We're a community with roots in so many places that we felt that our name should reflect not only our New Brunswick/Highland Park community, but also our relationships around the world. We've always believed in connecting our local community to our global community—our neighbors to the coffee farmers — and we still do. PS — Thank you for joining us on this journey. We couldn't do it without you. To learn more about the backstory of OQ, check out this short video from our friend at Headlamp Productions for a glimpse of how we started! “JUST BECAUSE A ROAD IS WINDING, DOESN’T MEAN IT’S NOT THE BEST WAY TO GET FROM HERE TO THERE.” — PenstockRead their story
