About Us

Our Story

How It All Began

Maui Oma Coffee Roasting Company was founded by David Gridley in 1993. Maui Oma was established to create individual coffee programs for restaurants and cafes throughout Hawaii with the emphasis being to create single origin varietals using 100% Hawaiian coffees as well as developing proprietary blends for Hawaii’s finest chefs.

In 2018, David retired and to this day, Maui Oma considers itself a small to medium size roasting company paying attention to quality and freshness in every step. With over 20 years of sourcing quality beans from around the world and in Hawaii we take great pride to ensure a great cup of coffee.

Our Difference

Freshness

All our coffee is roasted and blended to order. Coffee is never sitting around for months before you receive it.

Quality

Small Batch Roasting

To better control the quality and development of essential coffee oils (no quench roasting)

Customized Blends

We work with our customers to create customized blends to match their personal taste.

Coffee Knowledge

Over 25 years of experience in the Hawaii Coffee industry in all phases of coffee, growing, processing, sourcing, roasting, packaging, and equipment.

Equipment and Servicing

Provide a team of support by servicing all that we sell or provide. We service everything we sell, 7 days a week, every week.

Training

We provide on-site staff training covering coffee information, proper preparation and servicing and maintenance of your equipment.

Our Amazing Staff

L

Randy moved to Maui from Virginia Beach in 2005 with 3 suit cases and enough cash for 1 month and a rental car… He saw an ad posted which read:
Do you know electricity?
Do you know plumbing?
Do you like coffee?
He responded with “2 out of 3 ain’t bad” and started working at Maui Oma shortly thereafter. He’s come to know coffee well as he was already an experienced electrician and plumber. Over the last 13 years, Randy has dedicated himself to the food service industry in Hawaii and goes out of his way to ensure Maui Oma’s customers are satisfied. He’s learned to match the needs of our customers to their equipment by working with them side by side. His mission is to keep your equipment in good working order so you can focus on what you do best.

Dedicated, friendly, energetic and compassionate. That’s what they say about people from Wisconsin and it couldn’t be truer about our Service Technician and Driver, Alvin who is originally from Wisconsin. He’s traveled abroad and found he enjoyed the tropical lifestyle of Maui the most so he moved to Maui in 1999. He answered a job posting for Maui Oma in 2017 and has been dedicated to our customers ever since. Alvin ensures all orders are correct (he’s our QC guy) before delivering and he also services equipment in the field when needed. If you’re on Maui, you’ll be sure to see him on the road.

Maria’s background is diverse and she’s been in the Hawaii coffee industry since 1998. Her segway into the coffee industry was through Ag-Tourism at Coffees of Hawaii on the island of Molokai. Over the years, she’s worn many hats, from tourism, retailing, café management, farm management, coffee processing and roasting and production. She also established the Mill House Roasting Company at the Maui Tropical Plantation and worked with the team at the Plantation to develop the Mill House Restaurant. She brings a team approach to Maui Oma and you can always find her at the Roastery doing what she loves…. sourcing coffees from Hawaii and around the world. She carefully chooses coffees with a variety of flavor profiles and high cupping scores to achieve not only quality, but to also draw from a diverse inventory.
