Chris and Pattie Nachtrieb began Chris'​ Coffee Service in 1975. Chris was delivering coffee "kits"​ from his red El Camino while Pattie was handling calls and paperwork throughout the day. As they continued to grow locally, they employed several off-duty Colonie Police Officers to help with the coffee deliveries. Fast-forward 41 years and 45 employees later, Chris'​ Coffee Service, Inc. is now nationally recognized as one of the largest importers of espresso machines in the country. Several of the machines we import were designed in collaboration with the manufacturer and Chris himself. Chris'​ Coffee Service is the exclusive importer of those machines and supplies more than 40 distributors through out the US and Canada. When Chris was having difficulty purchasing the quality of coffee he wanted to provide his customers he decided it was time to simply start roasting his own coffee. Fast-Forward again, Chris'​ Coffee Service is one of the largest coffee roasters in upstate N.Y., roasting more than 80,000 pounds per month. Premium gourmet coffees include, Fair Trade and USDA Certified Organic coffees as well.
