COFFEE

“How Fucking Strong is it?” or “Is it really Fucking Strong!?”

There is no added caffeine in our beans, so the strength is in (1) flavor and (2) our attitude towards traditional specialty coffee branding. We work hard to find and roast distinctive, flavorful coffees and want to brand/talk about them in more impactful, approachable ways.

What Is The Optimal Time To Drink Your Coffee After The Roast Date?

Fresh-roasted coffee is best enjoyed one to six weeks after the roasting date, when its flavor and aroma are at their brightest. Your beans won’t “expire” after six weeks, they’ll just begin losing a bit of their tasty character.

Can You Grind My Coffee?

If you order one of our signature cans, we can grind your beans according to whatever brewing method you would like. Just select the grind type from the drop down menu when adding cans to your cart.Please note: as of now, we only offer our kilo bags as full beans.

What Brew Methods Do You Recommend?

Our first edition (link) is a light-medium espresso roast that features beautifully on manual/automatic espresso machines and stovetop Moka Pots. Many of our repeat customers also enjoy our Rwandan beans in a French Press or Aeropress -- just make sure you grind the beans accordingly.Our second edition (link) is an omniroast, conducive for almost all types of brewing methods. We especially enjoy it on an Aeropress or through automatic filter brewers, like the Moccamaster.

How Do I Store My Coffee?

Our airtight cans are perfect for keeping beans fresh, just make sure they are stored out of direct sunlight.

Is Your Coffee Certified Fair Trade and/or Organic ?

We do work with Fair Trade-certified partners, but prefer to go far beyond this label. We believe that “ethical sourcing” means creating long-term, collaborative relationships with origin/import partners who think more creatively about impact and development. The premiums we/our partners pay for our beans in RWA and NIC far exceed Fair Trade requirements.

How do you really the origin partners you work with are ethical?

We have personally visited our farmers and cooperative in Rwanda, and plan to visit Nicaragua in the Spring. In addition, we work with an innovative, ethical Dutch import partner with exceedingly high standards for price transparency, labor requirements, and sustainability practices.
