Kicking Horse Coffee

Kicking Horse Coffee was founded over 25 years ago in a garage nestled in the Canadian Rocky Mountains near Invermere, Canada. What began as a small-scale roasting operation has grown into a significantly larger enterprise, though the company emphasizes that its core identity remains unchanged—the Rockies still sit outside the door, and the team continues to prioritize what they describe as "100% kick-ass" beans. The brand has expanded its crew considerably and has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Canada. Kicking Horse offers a range of roast profiles—light, medium, dark, and decaf—suited to various brewing methods including drip, French press, espresso, moka pot, and cold brew. The company also holds a commitment to Fairtrade and sustainability practices. Their name draws from a local legend about a Rocky Mountain explorer who was supposedly revived by a strong cup of coffee after being kicked by a horse.
