It was 1888 when Richard Steven Gehlert started selling coffee in Detroit to local merchants, restaurants, and clubs.
1903 marked the opening of R.S. senior’s first roasting plant, at 408 West Jefferson in Detroit, Michigan’s growing merchant area along the Detroit River. The Gehlert Coffee Company, or at the time, more commonly known as “The House of Gehlert”, shipped its brew to customers in Michigan, Ohio, and New York.
In the early 1950’s the name was changed to its present-day Cadillac Coffee Company and today, Cadillac Coffee is headquartered in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Cadillac’s Indiana location is strategically centered to offer direct distribution to our customers in the Midwest through its in-house route delivery and service system.
Bean Selection
Just as there are a vast variety of grapes that are used to create a multitude of fine wines, coffee beans are also quite varied and come with their own particular characteristics. Some beans are very acidic while others have tremendous body. Many coffees have fruity flavors, such as lemon, wine-like or black currant. Other coffees have a chocolaty trait.
Cadillac Coffee has traveled the world studying the different regions where coffee beans are grown and discovered what each region has to offer. We’ve talked to farmers and learned where to acquire the best Brazilian, Colombian, African, and Central American beans. Because of our extensive knowledge, we can blend our beans to combine the best characteristics of each type of coffee, and thereby offer our customers a coffee that is uniquely rich, flavorful, and unlike any other.
