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.

Check out our special release coffees:

Sumatra Lake Toba Samosir Honey

As always, we are excited about our current McLaughlin Reserve release! This coffee is a juicy and fruity honey-processed coffee from the the Toba Samosir regency in Sumatra, Indonesia. This special release coffee is vibrant and syrupy with a medium body. It has a candy sweetness, a fruity tang, and low bitterness. We chose this coffee for its fruit-forward flavor profile and we feel this coffee is a wonderful representation of our McLaughlin Reserve line.

This unique Sumatran coffee will be available for about a month, so be sure to take advantage of this limited time offering!

May Coffee of the Month:
Java Estate Jampit

Our featured coffee for May is a complex and bold washed coffee from the Jampit Estate in Java, Indonesia. We roast this one medium-dark to bring out the richness and low acidity that Indonesian coffees are known for. The first notes you'll taste are sweet chocolate malt, followed by a brief herbal hint of sage or pine in the middle. Toward the end, it moves into a darker black cherry flavor and finishes with a nice toasted marshmallow sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the lingering chocolate notes.

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.
