Lost Coffee

Lost Coffee was founded in 2010 by Scott Gaerte as a food truck in Castle Rock, Colorado, expanding into a permanent location within the first year. The company now operates five retail locations across Castle Rock, Aurora, Littleton, and Highlands Ranch, with a dedicated roasting facility in Littleton housing a Diedrich IR 12 visible to customers. Lead roaster Fergus Walker applies principles from chemistry and thermodynamics to each batch, continuously evaluating and refining roast profiles to meet specialty grade standards. Lost Coffee partners with Colorado nonprofits focused on outdoor and nature experiences, extending its community roots beyond the café. The company has also moved into grocery distribution through Whole Foods and local retailers.
