Rick Appleton

Founder and Owner

Rick is a coffee roaster with an executive background in the pharmaceutical industry and a passion for science, jazz, and, of course, coffee.

With over 30 years of experience in operations, manufacturing, and health and safety, Rick brings a unique perspective to the coffee industry, which is now regulated by the FDA.

Originally from the UK, Rick was introduced to specialty coffee and fell in love with the unique flavors that can be highlighted through the roasting process.

He is a dedicated student, constantly learning and earning SCA certifications to master his craft. At Burwell Beans, Rick roasts to order and hand-sorts the beans to ensure the highest quality.

When he’s not working hard at the roastery, Rick enjoys finding balance through activities like playing the saxophone, reading and being a practical joker. He values building strong, cohesive relationships and creating a positive culture.

Rick’s roastery is a blend of his love for jazz and his commitment to maintaining the same high standards he held himself to in the pharmaceutical industry.

He wants his customers to have a welcoming and enjoyable experience, and to be surprised and delighted by the exceptional quality and service offered by Burwell Beans.

Come join our community and experience the difference that Rick’s energy, humor, and devotion make in the flavor of our coffee. Cheers!

Love this coffee roaster. Rick is a passionate and super-knowledgeable coffee entrepreneur. Just had two different double espressos. Yum. Tasted like I took a quick trip to Italy and a fun coffee bar there.
