ABOUT ME

Behind Our Name: Rippin Coffee Roasters

The name Rippin Coffee Roasters represents the fusion of two passions: automotive racing and specialty coffee roasting. As a part-time race car driver and a self-proclaimed coffee snob, I’ve always sought the thrill of high-performance—both on the track and in the cup.

Hi, I’m Christopher Shahin, the Founder and owner/operator of Rippin Coffee Roasters. My journey into coffee roasting started while I was working as a union Stone Worker/Iron Worker with Local 197 in NYC. By day, I was building and crafting; by weekend, I was wrenching on my race car and taking it to the track. Like my father, I always drank my coffee black, believing all coffee was the same—until one day, on vacation, I had a pour-over at a roastery in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ.

That moment changed everything.

The cup was unlike anything I had ever tasted, and I became obsessed. I could no longer drink anything else. I traveled across the country, chasing that same perfect cup, and it led me to explore the world of specialty coffee. I befriended the roastery owner, and under his mentorship, I dove deep into the art and science of roasting.

In September of 2023, I took the leap and launched Rippin Coffee Roasters. I emptied my savings account, invested in a coffee roaster, and with the support of friends and family, we built out a dedicated space for our roasting operation. From there, my dream came to life.

Our mission at Rippin Coffee Roasters is simple: we want to share the best coffee in the world with you. Every order is roasted fresh to order, ensuring that you get the best cup of coffee—whether you're brewing at home or serving it in your coffee shop (yes, we wholesale!). We offer fast shipping and FREE local deliveries to make your experience as easy as possible.

I’ve never found anything I love as much as racing and driving my car, but crafting the perfect cup of coffee comes pretty close. Every batch of coffee I roast gets my full dedication—just like when I’m behind the wheel of my race car. When you order from us, you're getting my absolute best.

I’ve been roasting coffee since 2018, and over the years, I’ve learned to master the craft. We source only the finest coffee beans from around the world and deliver them right to your door with just a click of a button. Rippin Coffee Roasters is more than a business—it's my passion, my love, and my promise to you.
