Gracefully Coffee Roasters is a family-owned, Maryland-based specialty coffee company founded by Julie and Derek Freidell, who transitioned from home-roasting in Miami to establishing their professional facility in 2017. The brand is defined by a commitment to 100% specialty-grade Arabica coffee, utilizing precision small-batch roasting techniques to highlight the natural flavor profiles of their beans without the use of added flavorings. Operating out of Windsor Mill, the roastery serves both retail customers and wholesale partners, maintaining a reputation for high standards in cleanliness, quality, and customer service. The founders, with Derek holding an SCA roasting certification, focus on direct-sourcing relationships to ensure the integrity of their cup, positioning the company as a dedicated micro-roastery within the local community.
