As consumer demand for coffee rises, the industry continues to see steady growth year over year. In fact, in 2023, “the global coffee market was estimated at $223.78 billion, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2030”. (Grand View Research) The caveat to this growth? Scaling a coffee business can be challenging. From sourcing to back-of-the-house production needs, there’s a lot to manage day to day. But with partners that care and reliable packaging machines, growth is much more feasible.
Recently, I sat down with Doug Wilson, Co-Founder of Door County Coffee, to discuss how the partnership between our two family-owned businesses has been filled with success. After touring their impressive facility, it was great to catch up with Doug over a cup of coffee. We talked about how our coffee packaging machinery has helped Door County Coffee grow.

Improved Coffee Filling Accuracy
Before making the switch to Spee-Dee, Door County Coffee relied on older style filling machines that caused inefficiencies in their operations. They ultimately felt that Spee-Dee auger fillers could be a good answer to their production issues. And the rest is history!
After choosing Spee-Dee, Door County has seen a clear increase in accuracy and reliability. These are the things our Revolution coffee auger fillers help Door County Coffee do:
- Easily fill a wide variety of coffee thanks to quick changeovers–Door County fills over 80 to 100 varieties!
- Improve accuracy with precise servo motor auger control
- Increase throughput
- Seamless integration with continuous motion VFFS baggers

Partners Who Listen
When we asked Doug what it’s like to work with Spee-Dee, we were happy to hear that our team was responsive to their needs and requests throughout the evaluation process. After all, listening is important to any lasting partnership, and it’s one of Spee-Dee's core values. As Doug says:
“Working with Spee-Dee is very interesting and encouraging...they were a partner from day one. As we came on board, [questions like] what type of machine should I go with, the advantages of one versus another option that were available, were all key to making our [strong partnership] come about. The design approval, signing off on measurements, and things of that nature helped get us a machine that we could start up with on day one.”
Partnership in Every Cup
When I asked Doug if he had two words that he could use to describe his experience with Spee-Dee, it was great to hear him respond with “professionalism and timeliness”.
