Discover Excellence at Black Powder Coffee

Welcome to Black Powder Coffee, the hidden gem nestled in Mooresville, North Carolina, where visitors encounter a perfect blend of passion, history, and innovation that redefine the coffee experience.

The Origin Story: A Taste of Gold Rush Legacy

Derived from the first U.S. gold rush in Reed Creek, Black Powder’s name symbolizes a period of hard but rewarding work—a spirit infused into every aspect of their craft. The masterful roast profiles and carefully selected beans deliver a coffee that’s not merely a drink but a journey through history, offering a sweet and creamy finish.

Crafting Perfection: From Bean to Cup

Embarking on a journey after discovering a lack of desired quality in the local market, Black Powder opened its doors in 2014, sharing their passion in a small industrial space. Only the finest SHB (super hard beans) from high-elevation farms earn a place in their roasts, guaranteeing each cup is an exquisite experience. Their meticulous roasting process extracts the maximum flavor from every single-origin bean, resulting in blends that resemble an artist’s masterpiece.

Innovation in Every Sip: Cold Brew Revolution

Disappointed by iced coffees elsewhere, Black Powder set out to redefine the standard. Their cold-brewed coffee concentrate, born from experimentation and dedication, promises a creamy, dry finish with a world-class taste. It’s not just a beverage; it’s a revelation.

Meet the Artisans: The Stahlman Family

Black Powder Coffee isn’t just a business; it’s a family legacy led by Melissa Stahlman, CEO & President, and Dave Stahlman, Roaster. Melissa, with a background in marketing and law, brings leadership, while Dave, with a corporate journey spanning the globe, oversees the art of roasting. As active members of the community, the Stahlmans contribute to local schools, Pride in Motion, and the Boy Scouts of America.
