Asheville, NC Roasted to order · ships Tue & Fri Subscribe →

Three lots on the shelf. Every number behind them.

12kg Probat, garage bay, since 2014. We roast Tuesday and Friday and publish every curve and cupping sheet.

Scores are our own cupping table, three cuppers, SCA protocol, scored blind against a control. We publish them even when they are unflattering, which is why the Brazilian says 84.75 and not "exceptional".

Lot 24-KO-03Gedeb, Yirgacheffe1,980 masl

Kochere washed

Bergamot, white peach, jasmine.

Three hundred and forty smallholders deliver cherry to the Worka Kochere station, where it is depulped the same afternoon and fermented under water for 36 hours before going onto raised beds for eleven days. It is the cleanest, most floral coffee we buy, and it is the one that ruins other coffees for people.

La Esperanza honey

Red apple, panela, orange blossom.

Three and a half hectares farmed by Yaneth Buitrago, who took the farm over from her father in 2011 and switched it to honey process in 2019 against a good deal of local advice. Cherry is depulped with the mucilage left on and dried on covered beds for eighteen days. We have bought every crop since 2021.

Fazenda Rio Verde natural

Cacao nib, roasted almond, dried cherry.

The house coffee, and the one we sell most of. Dried whole on patios for twenty-two days, turned by hand. It scores lower than the other two and it is the better espresso by a wide margin, which is a thing the score sheet is not designed to tell you. If you drink coffee with milk in it, buy this one.

How it gets from that garage bay to your kitchen.

Two roast days a week and nothing sits. If you order on a Wednesday it is roasted Friday morning and in the post by two.

Roasted the morning it ships

Tuesday and Friday. Nothing is roasted ahead and stored, which is why the shelf only ever has three lots on it. The roast date is stamped on the bag, not a "best before" eighteen months out.

Whole bean, in a valve bag, unflushed

340 grams. We do not grind to order because ground coffee is stale in a week and posting it is not a favour. If you genuinely have no grinder, say so in the order notes and we will grind it and tell you to drink it fast.

Rest it four days before you open it

Freshly roasted coffee is degassing and tastes thin and sharp. Day four to day twenty-one is the window. This is the single piece of advice that improves most people's coffee more than any equipment.

Free shipping over $40, everywhere in the US

Two to four days. Under $40 it is $6.50 flat. If a box goes missing we send another one without asking you for a photograph of the doorstep.

If you don't like it, we take it back opened

Genuinely opened. Tell us what you did not like about it and we will send a different lot or refund it, and either way the information is useful to us.

Standing order, or just the once.

A subscription is 10% off, skip or cancel from the email itself, and no minimum number of boxes. There is nothing clever about it and no annual plan to trap you in.
