About Our Coffee

Our coffees come from all over the world. They are sourced through brokers specializing in farmer-friendly coffees. Producing a world class coffee is a labor intensive endeavor. We believe that our coffee growing partners deserve to be rewarded financially with a payment that reflects that effort.

Yes! Any of our coffees can be made half-caf. To tell us you want half-caf, add the coffee to your cart, and once you reach check out, write in the comments section underneath the shipping address, which coffee you would like half-caf.

An 8oz. serving of coffee contains about 1-3 calories — flavored, unflavored, or decaf.

On average, a cup (8oz) of coffee contains 80-100 mg of caffeine. The caffeine content depends on how you brew it and, at times, the beans themselves. Our coffees are all arabica beans, which contain half the caffeine content of robusta beans you typically find in big-name coffee companies. You may notice a change in the caffeine content regarding the brew method. A shot of espresso (1oz) contains roughly 65mg of caffeine, whereas a cup of drip coffee (8oz) contains about 95mg of caffeine. It all depends on how the coffee is brewed and how much is being consumed in one sitting. When it comes to decaf, you can expect between 2-5mg of caffeine per cup.

Our decaf coffees come from various processes. Currently, our Mexican and Colombian beans use the Mountain Water process, Ethiopian beans use Methyl Chloride, and Peru uses Swiss Water. It all depends on which ones are available for us at the time, so you can always check it with us to see what we have in stock!

Roasting has little effect on the caffeine content of a bean. Whatever that particular bean had entering the roaster will remain measurably the same whether it is light or dark roasted.

Yes! It meaning there are no carbs or sugars.

We have a statement from our green coffee bean supplier that sums up their process of detecting molds in their coffee (meaning, they provide specialty coffee and ensure their coffee is mold free)

Fair Trade is a payment program administered through a company called Fair Trade USA. The term “Fair Trade” is copyrighted by them. This coffee purchasing system guarantees small-scale family farmers (less than 2 acres) a stable price that is independent of market fluctuations. In exchange for a guaranteed price, these farmers must also adhere to Fair Trade USA’s “rigorous social, environmental, and economic standards which promote safe, healthy working conditions, protect the environment, enable transparency, and empower communities to build strong, thriving businesses.”
None! The coffee is flavored with a flavor extract and has no sugar in it.

Coffee should be consumed within two weeks of roasting for ultimate freshness. Beyond two weeks, coffee will eventually become stale. How long that takes is influenced by exposure to light, air, and moisture. Reducing the exposure time to those primary destructors will slow coffee’s degradation. Properly stored coffee will last between three months and three years. Your nose will tell you when its time is up.

The freezer is not recommended for short term storage. Long term, there is some evidence that is can double or possibly triple the amount of time before going stale. The refrigerator is not recommended due to increased exposure to moisture and unwanted aromatics.

The company that we source our flavors for our flavored coffees certifies that their products do not contain allergens or gluten, and neither do their equipment.

We do not recommend using flavored coffee beans in an espresso machine. The oils in the flavor extracts on the beans can quickly clog and thus ruin your espresso machine. As an alternative, you could brew flavored coffee with a Moka pot or make your regular espresso and order flavored syrups from us to create homemade lattes!
