In-House Roaster Nuova Simonelli Diedrich
Pinetop

The Pinetop Coffee House & Roasting Company

Look, I have been reviewing coffee shops across Arizona for a while now. The Pinetop Coffee House and Roastery stopped me in my tracks for one reason. They roast their own beans on-site using a Diedrich roaster at 7,000 feet elevation. Pilots know that "density altitude" affects engine performance. Apparently it also affects coffee roasting! Mike (the owner) will tell you that roasting at this elevation brings out unique flavor characteristics in the beans. Mike and Linda run this operation in Pinetop-Lakeside. If you're lucky and come in on the right time, you may smell the roasting from the parking lot. That aroma alone tells you something different is happening here. The coffee is strong and dark. I ordered a latte and it tasted way darker than expected. They pull the shots on their Nuova Simonelli machine. The taste profile leans bold and robust. Not burnt, but not far from it either. Every drink comes with a chocolate covered espresso bean on top. Small touch but hey, it works. The menu covers all the classics. Lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, mochas, dirty chais. They offer almond, oat, coconut, and soy milk. The space feels clean and comfortable. Not trying to be trendy. Just functional seating and good Wi-Fi if you need to work. Now let me be honest about something. Mike is genuinely passionate about coffee. He knows his craft inside and out. But that passion sometimes comes with a side of impatience (especially near closing time or when the shop is slammed). While I didn't experience anything myself, I did my homework and scanned many customer reviews beforehand. There are quite a few that mention brusque or outright rude service. Some customers walked out. Others got lectured about their order modifications. If you show up twenty minutes before close, you might get attitude along with your americano. I am not saying this to be mean. I am saying this because you deserve to know what you might encounter. The service can be hit or miss depending on timing and staffing. The Pinetop Coffee House sells beans to take home. Multiple blends available. You can order online at their website if you want to keep drinking their coffee after you leave the White Mountains. This place has been serving Pinetop for years. They roast coffee fresh every day. No shortcuts. No corporate playbook. Just a veteran-owned operation that takes coffee seriously at high altitude. Check out Arizona coffee shops that you can't afford to miss.
