Flavor notes on coffee bags are not additional flavors roasters add to the coffee. They’re more descriptors that help give you a better idea of what the coffee tastes like before you buy a bag.

You may or may not taste the flavor notes on the bag. It’s often that we drink coffees from other roasters where the notes don’t align with what we’re tasting. On the other hand, it does help us get in the general ballpark of what to expect.

The summer menu is going to rip. Our first Ethiopian landed at the roastery and hitting the hopper this weekend. Will be hitting the online store very soon.

In the next week, we’ll be receiving several coffees air shipped from Colombia. One coffee in particular is one of our most ambitious undertaking in terms of green sourcing.

The second half of summer is looking so. Freakin. Good.

How do you find coffee that you love to drink at home? Roast level is one of the biggest variables that impacts the flavor of your brewed coffee. If you start with good coffee, there’s a big chance you’ll brew good coffee.

We like to simplify this to a spectrum of acidity to bitterness. If you like cups with more bitterness and boldness, you’ll want to lean more towards a darker roast.
If you like cups with less bitterness and more acidity, then you should lean lighter in roast.

If you prefer cups that are lighter, fruitier, brighter, and sacrifice on bitterness, you’ll may be interested in shopping our menu. Hit the link in our bio to shop our current coffees.

We ran an experiment with a few pour over recipes with the same coffee. A coffee brewed at a 1:15 ratio tasted thinner and had less body than a recipe with a 1:17 ratio. You would think that the 1:15 would taste stronger, more intense, and had bigger body, but that wasn’t the case.

The difference? A recipe with different workflows and different amount of pulses.
For us, it reminded us just how much a pour over recipe can shape a coffee’s flavor presentation. When it comes to recipes, there is so much room for creativity with the end goal of presenting a coffee exactly the way you’d like.

The OXO Rapid Brewer has become a weird anomaly in coffee. This isn’t another coffee dripper. It’s a whole new brewer.

Something we found after brewing a lot of coffees with the ORB is that coffee selection matters a lot. This brewer seems to really raise the intensity of flavors, both the good and bad. Whether that’s the green or roast qualities, they do get amplified.

It’s an interesting brewer and with the right coffee can make some of the best tasting cups we’ve had.

One of our favorite Kenyan coffees of the year is the Kihuyo Kenya, Nyeri. It takes unlike most Kenyan coffees and has a fruit forward and tropical profile. We can’t stop drinking and have received great feedback from others.

Now available for order on our website. Shop at the link in our bio.

We’re cupping a lot of samples this week with the hopes that we can pack out the rest of the summer and into fall with really stunning coffees.
Good green coffee = good roasted coffee = you enjoy good coffee at home

We’re trying to consistently increase our standard and tighten our quality parameters so you can rest assured in the quality of any bag you pick up from us.

The best coffees start hitting the shelf in spring / summer time. Coffees are fresh, vibrant, and there’s plenty of variety. As a coffee drinker at home, this is the best time of year.

We recently dropped our first Kenyan and we love it. First one in a few years and happy to have one on our menu again.

This is the best time of year to drink lots of delicious coffee!

Kenya is back on our menu and it did not disappoint. This might be one of the most memorable coffees of the year. It’s unlike anything we’ve tasted in a while and we’re very happy to be carrying this coffee. It reminds us of golden berries, melon, and tropical.

Would highly recommend this Kenyan if you’ve been looking to pick one up!
