Alterra Coffee Roasters

When a decent cup of coffee is hard to come by, interesting things can happen. Or at least they did back in 1993, when Ward Fowler, Lincoln Fowler, and Paul Miller were working nights while keeping their daytime businesses afloat.

A situation like that required strong coffee, and not just any coffee. These guys needed something burly enough to keep them well fueled for long nights and hard work.

Recognizing the need for strong, quality coffee in Milwaukee, they opened the doors to the first Alterra café in 1994.

Now with nine cafes in metro Milwaukee, Alterra provides high-quality coffee, tea, baked goods, brewing equipment and accessories to a range of coffee lovers.

The company roasts beans for over 400 wholesale customers as well as its own cafes, keeping the vintage Probat roasters that serve as a café backdrop running almost constantly.

Come in and watch the coffee-making process - from beans to brew - while sipping the results of relentless attention to strength, consistency, and quality.
