The coffee we actually drink, and why.
We taste everything that comes off the roaster. These six are the ones we keep taking home.
Not the best sellers. Not what we need to move. Just what is on our counters, and the honest reason each one is there.
Staff Favorite
Blonde roast has a reputation for being thin and weak. This one is not. Bright citrus, smooth caramel, and a little peanut on the finish, with more of the bean's actual character than a dark roast will ever let through.
It is the bag we hand to people who swear they only drink dark. It is also the bag that changes their mind.
Three origins in one cup. Colombian for the backbone, Brazilian for the sweetness, Sumatra for the depth. It has more body and complexity than a straight Colombian medium without ever tipping over into dark roast territory.
If you want one bag that everybody in the house will drink without complaining, this is the one.
Best for Espresso
If you own an espresso machine, this is the bag. Dark chocolate and toffee, low acid, and it pulls a clean shot without the burnt bitterness most dark roasts bring to the portafilter.
You do not need an espresso machine to appreciate it. It runs just as well in a moka pot or a French press.
Most flavored coffee tastes like a scented candle. This one tastes like oak and vanilla and a Saturday you did not set an alarm for.
No sugar bomb, no syrup finish, no bourbon in the bag. Just a flavor that actually lands and then gets out of the way.
Top Seller
Our best selling flavored coffee, and it is not close. Chocolate, cherry, and amaretto sitting on top of a Colombian medium that is good enough to drink on its own.
This is the one that converts people who have written off flavored coffee entirely.
The Sleeper
The pick that surprises people. Bold Assam leaves, malt and raw honey up front, and a dry clean finish that does not need milk or sugar to work.
Nobody expects the coffee company to have a tea worth talking about. Try it on the afternoons you do not want a fourth cup of coffee.
Six products the people who work here actually drink, with the real reason each one made the list. It is not a best seller list and it is not paid placement. It is what is on our counters.
We update the list when something earns a spot. If a new roast becomes the bag we keep reaching for, it goes up here and something else comes down.
Start with Spectre. It is a dark espresso roast with dark chocolate and toffee notes and a low acid finish, and it works in an espresso machine, a moka pot, or a French press. If you are open to being surprised, try Hercules, our blonde roast. It is the pick that most often changes a dark roast drinker's mind.
No. Derby Kitty and Freedom Kitty are flavored, not sweetened. There is no sugar and no syrup in the bag, so you control the sweetness in the cup.
