UPDATE; May 5, 2025
Stock update - NEW Coffee! is HERE and more is in route. I have a wonderful Kenyan that just arrived and an incoming shipment to restock an old favorite, La Morena - Guatemalan coffee. Stay tuned.
Hi All,
I want to take a moment and let you know that my only offering of Decaffeinated coffee is located on the Central Am. tab above so, if you love coffee but can't tolerate the caffeine, slide on over to the Central American offerings and look for the Mexican SWP coffee I have in stock. Many people report to me that they cannot tell the difference between this coffee and a fully caffeinated variety.
A new Kenyan has arrived and it is another spectacular single origin varietal that screams "I'm from Kenya!" See the Kenyan Tab above for more information on this truly wonderful coffee. And to encourage you to take a peek, I will just say it is a familiar genetic line and is a dark chocolate BOMB!
Oh, and about that Kenyan tab, it use to have a Rwandan element too, and yet...all good things must end and we have had to say good-bye to to our friend, Rwandan Huye Peaberry. Man was that a superior bean. I will miss it.
And now for something completely different . . . well, not really, it is about coffee. Not just coffee but the price we pay for speciality coffee. Speciality coffee uses the C-price as a starting point and adds multipliers to the C-price (based on the quality of the coffee) to determine a wholesale cost of green coffee. All green coffee is based on the Chicago Board of Trade Commodity price for coffee. Yes, it is a stock market, just for physical products, not company values. The C-Price for coffee is reported on in any reputable information channel you may access for business information. If one were to look at trends in the C-Price, well, it can only be described as, "at an all time HIGH." I have never seen this price on the Big Board. Today's C-Price is at a record and over 4X the price of just 18 months ago. The rapid increase has many factors (weather that influences growing, war, famine, stupid people, etc.). I am not even referencing imposed tariffs and shipping constraints (oh wait, I just did). Long story short, I have restocked ALL inventory, placed forward orders on
"at sea" coffee and tried to lock in orders prior to any imposed tariffs. I fear that tariffs will make purchasing Speciality Coffee prohibitively expensive. So, I took a chance, ordered large lots of coffee (large for my pico-roastery) at the time the C-price was at an all time peak. Translation, I have to raise prices for the third time in the Roastery's history. I am truly sorry but ALL coffees will be $22 per pound. This is the smallest increase I can sustain to keep this enterprise alive and serving you coffee. If you cannot abide, I apologize and wish you the best. For those of you who will stick around after a 10% price increase, I thank you and I commit to carefully roasting the best specialty coffee I can find and offering you an industry exclusive guarantee; If you don't like your coffee, do not pay for it. I will refund or reroast your order if you find anything unsatisfactory with your beans. Why do I do this? Well, according to a parental unit, I am stupid but really, I just truly believe, in my soul, in my heart and, to the bottom of my cup, LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO DRINK BAD COFFEE.
Oh, one last thing, scroll down to the bottom of the page and take a poll if you feel as if you need a good polling. Go ahead (sure act like you really don't want to be polled but we both know, you do).
AMAZING OFFER
Ok so I will make this fast and easy, buy any four pounds of coffee (in one singular order - no combining orders) and get a free travel coffee maker. Oh no, not just any traveling coffee maker the AeroPress GO Travel Press coffee maker (https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-go-travel-coffee-press). This is a $49.95 (MSRP) value GIFT under this special promotion. Supplies are limited. No need to do anything, just buy four pounds (that is one order of four or more pounds of coffee qualify) and arrange for the shipping and you have a free travel coffee maker.
I use this coffee maker myself when I travel so, it comes with the Roaster's personal guarantee that it makes a great cup when you are away from your regular kit.
Stay Caffeinated Y'all,
A. Roaster
