We are Matt and Jill McLaughlin…both born and raised in the Illinois Valley, with the gorgeous Starved Rock State Park as our neighbor. We have been blessed with five beautiful children…Anna, Will, Julia, Evan and Kyle, who are our world. As you can imagine, our everyday lives are anything but ordinary. We want our lives and the lives of those around us to be EXTRAORDINARY! As busy parents, coffee has been a lifeline for us…a definite necessity in our day. Not long ago, we stumbled upon artisan coffee and it was like nothing we had ever tasted…coffee went from a daily necessity to a daily EXPERIENCE for us. We can never go back to “ordinary” coffee again. We had a strong desire to share this experience with others. We roast only the highest quality, Arabica beans on the market. We source from producers who are well paid and highly respected for their talents. Here at Starved Rock Coffee Company, we believe that an extraordinary day can start with an exceptional cup of coffee. A cup of coffee that you can feel good about drinking…one that warms your soul, awakens your senses, and is carefully and thoughtfully crafted. We are so thrilled and honored to share this experience with you!

☕🏆 We’re thinking about heading back to Golden Bean Americas!

Golden Bean is one of the most prestigious coffee roasting competitions around, and the last time Starved Rock Coffee Company entered, our French Canyon brought home a medal! 🥇☕️

Now we’re ready to give it another shot — but we need YOUR help choosing what coffee to enter!

If you could pick one Starved Rock Coffee to represent us at Golden Bean, which one would it be?

👇 Drop your choice in the comments. Maybe your favorite will be the one we send to the judges!

Coffee drinkers, we’ve got a question for you…

What time do you cut yourself off from coffee for the day?

Are you done after your morning cup?
No coffee after 2 PM?
Or are you one of those people who can drink a cup at 9 PM and go straight to bed? 😂

We want to know — what’s your coffee cutoff time? 👇☕️

French Canyon ☕️🥾

Have you ever hiked at Starved Rock State Park and made your way down to French Canyon?

One of our favorite things about Starved Rock is how many stories, trails, and canyons are right in our own backyard. In fact, many of our Starved Rock Coffee blends are inspired by the incredible places that make this area so special.

So tell us… have you hiked French Canyon? What’s your favorite canyon or trail at Starved Rock?

And if you’re heading out for a hike today, grab a cup of coffee first. ☕️🌲

How crazy is it to think about how far we’ve come?! ☕️

When we first opened, we were just excited to roast small batches of coffee to fill our retail bag orders.

Fast forward to today… some days we’re rocking out 1,000+ pounds of coffee—still roasted in small batches, just a LOT more of them! 🔥☕️

And every bag gets packed up with love by our one and only Jill. ❤️

She doesn’t just pack the orders—she also writes every single handwritten note that goes out the door. That personal touch is a huge part of who we are.

From small batches to 1,000-pound days… we’re incredibly grateful for every order, every customer, and everyone who has helped us get here.

Small family-owned roaster. Big dreams. Big coffee. ❤️☕️

Mexico Chiapas - Easily our most popular single origin. If you’ve tried it, you know why!

🌟 We roast it a little on the lighter side to highlight the caramely sweetness and balanced acidity.

✅ With notes of milk chocolate, almond, and caramel, this is an absolute must to have in your daily line up!

Every great coffee starts with curiosity.

This is where a lot of our coffees begin. We use our IKAWA sample roaster to evaluate coffees from around the world before committing to full production. It lets us dial in roast profiles, compare origins, and make sure every coffee that earns the Starved Rock Coffee Company name meets our standards.

It’s a small roaster with a big job—and one of the most important tools in our pursuit of exceptional coffee.

Award-winning coffee doesn’t happen by accident. It starts here. ☕🏆
