Learn about our approach to sourcing and roasting distinctive coffees from around the world.
We source seasonal coffees as fresh crops arrive in the US throughout the year. Depending on the season, you can expect top lots from Central America, South America, Africa, and Asia.
In order to source coffees at this level of quality, we work closely with a small group of importing partners who have traveled the world for years building relationships with farmers and coffee growing communities. We pay well above Fair Trade prices for our single origin coffees, which are often available only in limited quantities.
Roaster's Choice selections rotate every 4 weeks in order to provide you with a steady stream of fresh in-season coffees.
Sampling
Our importing partners regularly provide us with small samples of the best lots. We "sample roast" dozens of coffees every month at our roasting facility. Then we evaluate each roast on the cupping table and pick our favorite candidates.
All the coffees we consider for our single origin offerings are clean, sweet, and free of defects. That's all necessary, but not enough. What we seek in these coffees is a distinctive character—that special something that makes us wake up the next morning excited to brew another cup.
Profiling
When we find a coffee we love in the sampling process, we purchase it immediately. The next challenge is determining how we'll roast it for you. The goal is to bring out each coffee's best expression of itself and its terroir. This process is called "profiling"—a mix of art and science.
We'll roast multiple small profile roasts of the coffee we purchased, trying different approaches to see what we can pull out of the bean. How can we emphasize the distinctive characteristics and deliciousness that made us decide to buy this coffee? That's the profiling challenge. To assess each profile, we brew each one multiple times to get to know it inside and out.
Production Roasting
Once we've decided on the profile, we work very hard to replicate that chosen profile in each production roast. Our quality control process includes sampling every batch we roast and using technological tools to analyze each batch against our target profile. We tweak and adjust our single origins as needed to make sure they're always delicious.

Experience the Craft Coffee difference.
You can find cheap coffee everywhere—online or offline. It sits on warehouse shelves for months, so it's stale and it's not great. But we get it: cost matters a lot, and it gets the job done.
But what if you could pay grocery store prices for fresh-roasted, specialty grade coffee? Welcome to Craft Coffee.
Buy four or more 12oz bags of coffee, get 28% off every delivery. That's it. No additional shipping charges or membership fees.
How is this possible?
When you buy coffee on Amazon or at grocery stores, the coffee company sold its beans wholesale—you pay a retail markup.
We cut out the middleman and sell to you directly online, and we pass along those savings to you. Ready to get started?
