Sean’s Pinched Beans is a small-batch coffee roasting company based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The business originated from the founder's early interest in pan-roasting coffee in a cast iron skillet, a technique he learned as a family tradition. Today, the company operates using commercial roasting equipment to produce small batches for direct-to-consumer sales and local partnerships. The roaster is documented for its active participation in regional coffee festivals and for conducting academic research on the history of chicory in coffee.
