A crowd-favorite, we carefully develop this coffee until almost all essential oils rise to the surface. The result is a darker roast that features a warm and inviting sweetness, reminiscent of caramel and dark chocolate with almost no acidity.

I have been getting 2cbags of this French roast in my order for a while now. This time 1 bag was not good. I dont know if the roasts got mixed up or what. I was unable to drink it. The other bag was great.

I bought three different twelve ounce varieties of dark roast from Amy I think.
Used all three then chose French Roast in a five pound whole bean as a subscriber. Our package came in two days from St Louis shipping included. Good job.

Hands down the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life!!! I look forward to it every morning and that hasn’t happened in so long. So good that I have a 5 pound bag coming on a subscription.

This is 100% the BEST COFFEE on the market!! The flavor, quality, and even price is amazing. I used to buy two bottles of creamer every couple weeks, but I wanted to cut out calories and sugar, and with these coffee beans, I now drink my coffee black with ZERO bitterness. It’s delicious to the last drop in the coffee pot. THIS is the coffee bean that dreams are made of!! ♥️

FAQ


  • When you place an order from us, our highest priority is sending you the freshest coffee possible. You deserve it, and frankly so do our world class coffee producers and their coffees.

    Read our blog on the benefits of fresh roasted coffee to learn more. 

    • If you order on Monday - Thursday before 3:00pm CST, your order will ship out the next business day.
    • If you order on Monday - Thursday after 3:00pm CST, your order will ship out the day following the next business day. (ex: orders placed at 4:00pm CST on a Monday will ship on Wednesday).
    • If you order Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, at any time, your order will ship out on Monday, barring holidays. 
  • We offer three different grind sizes on the vast majority of our coffee offerings: drip, espresso, and French press.

    • Use drip grind if you plan on making your coffee using a coffee machine, in a pour over brewer, or if you want to try a newer way to make your trusty French press.
    • Use espresso grind if you have an espresso machine at home. This grind will be very fine and will over-extract (in other words, taste bitter and chalky) in other methods.
    • Use French press grind if you are making a coffee in the more traditional French Press method, or making cold brew, or do very large batches in a Chemex (greater than 60 grams of coffee). 
  • Please visit our brewing page here.  Coffee brewing is as much an art as it is a science, and it might take a few tries for you to find a sweet-spot that matches your taste preference. We recommend not getting too lost in the "right" way to brew, but instead focus on what you like and try to educate yourself on some best practices. And then just take it from there! 

    That said, we offer several how-to's for many popular brewers:

  • Our blends run from medium-light to dark. You can get a full breakdown of the blends in our Blend Buying Guide.

    Core Blends include:

    700 is our medium-roast core espresso blend that also tastes great as drip.

    Cafe Kaldi has been our house blend since 1994. It contains coffee from Ethiopia that gives it a touch of complexity.

    Dancing Goats Blend is a little more developed and gives a bit bolder of a cup.

    Highlander Grogg is a fan-favorite flavored coffee.
