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.

October Coffee of the Month:
Flores Organic Bajawa Ngura

Our October coffee of the month is a wet hulled, certified organic coffee from seven farming groups in the Bajawa region of Flores, Indonesia. We are excited to bring this one back after a four-year absence — it has always been a customer favorite and we roast it dark to develop its full body, bold character, and smooth finish. This is a medium-heavy bodied cup with low acidity, medium-high bitterness, and a dry, lingering finish.

The cup starts with rich notes of baker's chocolate that serve as a deep, roasty undertone throughout the entire cup. In the middle, dry roasted peanut joins the chocolate, melding naturally and adding a savory, nutty dimension. In the finish, the peanut fades and caramelized sugar emerges alongside the chocolate, adding a bittersweet sweetness that lingers long and dry on the palate. This is a bold, intense cup — not quite as dark as our other dark roasts, but with plenty of depth and character for those who love a dark Indonesian coffee.

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.

Seasonal Offering: Harvest Blend

Harvest Blend 2026Our Harvest Blend is back for 2026! This annual fall seasonal release is crafted to capture the warmth and coziness of the season. We roast it medium to soften the acidity and bring out a warm, spicy character that makes it a wonderful sipping coffee as the weather cools. This is a smooth, medium-bodied cup with a dry, spicy finish that feels cozy from the first sip to the last.

Our seasonal Harvest Blend is now available! The cup starts with smooth, semi-sweet chocolate notes that serve as a warm undertone throughout the entire cup. In the middle, herbal notes of rosemary add a savory, aromatic dimension. In the finish, bright cinnamon and a light touch of orange meld together, adding warmth and a gentle sweetness. The medium body and balance of acidity and bitterness make this a great cup for any time of day.

This seasonal coffee is available now and will be for sale until December 1.
