Miss Ellie's

For Miss Ellie (also known as Ellie Glidewell), coffee is the perfect way to pursue several of her passions while assuring that you get the smoothest cup of coffee available. When her step father, Bill McClure, wanted her to be part of his gourmet coffee business - Coffee.org - Miss Ellie said, "Sure, but I want to do it the right way, a way where the benefit gets spread around. Oh, and may I have my own line of coffee?"

Miss Ellie has her line of coffee, and the next thing she wanted was direct involvement in choosing the blends that would bear her name. As with everything she does, she is demanding and meticulous in the selection process, working closely with her roaster, traveling to out-of-the-way places, testing, tasting, sitting a spell and reflecting on it.

"In the morning you want a good cup of coffee to get you going and in a good mood to run out the door," she says. "The coffees I choose for Miss Ellie’s will definitely do that."
