Bay Area Coffee Roaster For 40+ Years

How do we do it?

High quality beans

It all starts with quality green coffee. We source outstanding specialty grade coffee from around the world. We don't compromise on the quality of beans that we put in the roaster.

Roast to order

Fresh roasted coffee is the best coffee. We never roast weeks ahead. We only roast a coffee when we need it to fulfill an order. You can taste the difference freshness makes in the cup.

Attention to detail

We are meticulous in our roasting process. We pride ourselves on the consistency of our roasted coffees. Small-batch craft roasting is our specialty.

The truth is in the cup!

Once you try our coffee, you will experience new dimensions of coffee that you did not know were possible. We believe outstanding coffee should be available at an affordable price.

Our Signature Roast - Max's Blend

Max's Blend is our signature roast. Designed to be bold, smokey, and complex, this is by far our most popular coffee and has been a staple of the Bay Area for over 30 years. Max's is on the heavy side of body with very little acidity. The cup starts with an immediate punch of smoke. As the smoke fades, dark chocolate notes appear with some dried fruit sweetness and notes of vanilla cream. The finish is very long, bold, and smokey with notes of peaty scotch.

January Coffee of the Month: East Timor Organic Cooperativa Cafe

January 02, 2026

This January we are bringing back a favorite from last year, a roasty washed coffee from the Cooperativa Café Timor group in East Timor. This coffee has a medium body paired with the low acidity that is typical of a coffee from Indonesia. The roastyness starts right away with notes of dry roasted almond right at the front of the cup. In the middle, you get the smokyness and lightness of Hojicha tea combined with subtle chocolate notes. The finish is dry and lingering with roasty almond notes combining with the subtle sweetness of chocolate and black cherry.
