  • Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
    The Yirgacheffe highlands region of Ethiopia is home to some of the world's best and most unique coffees. Delicate notes of black tea, flowers, and cake spice add complexity to a light, elegant mouthfeel and crystal clear, lemon-toned acidity.
  • Peacemaker Espresso
    As a straight shot, our Peacemaker Espresso carries notes of cherry, lemon and spicy chocolate to create a bright, full and balanced espresso. Sip it on its own or fire up your steam wands and find out for yourself why we chose the name Peacemaker - this is an espresso that "makes peace" remarkably well with milk!
  • Decaf Mexico Kulaktik (Water Process)
    Using high-pressured water is the only natural way to remove caffeine from green, i.e., unroasted, coffee beans - a process that makes sense for certified organic coffees. We are pleased to now offer a water-processed decaf version of our popular Mexico Kulaktik - Organic/Fair Trade from the municipality of Tenejapa in the southern state of Chiapas.
  • Cafe Voltaire
    According to legend, the French philosopher and author Voltaire drank fifty cups of coffee per day. Had he tasted this satisfying blend of East Indies coffees, he would have needed only twenty. Our Caf&eaute; Voltaire delivers a rich and spicy cup with incredible body, balanced acidity and a sweet, lingering aftertaste.
  • Breakfast Blend
    Sometimes we need a little help waking up, and that's where our Breakfast Blend comes in. The combination of light and medium-roasted coffees creates a dynamic cup with the sweet, pronounced acidity to pry open our eyes, and just enough full, smooth body to prop us up. Whether enjoyed with breakfast or while running out the door, you can always count on our Breakfast Blend to start your day off right.
  • Campesino Blend
    Around the world, millions of small-scale farmers (campesinos in Spanish) dedicate their lives to growing, harvesting, and processing high-quality coffee. In their honor, we've combined organic, single origin coffees produced by Fair Trade Certified cooperatives for a great-tasting blend. It possesses a rich, chocolatey flavor with a medium-to-full body, low acidity, and a hint of spice.
  • Breakfast Blend
    In order for a blend to earn the distinctive "Breakfast" title, it must be a coffee that one can consistently count on to start the day in a delicious way. This blend of certified organic and Fair Trade Certified coffees do just that. Enjoy!
  • Brazil Fazenda São Domingos
    Located near the town of Araponga in the state of Minas Gerais, Fazenda São Domingos and owner Danilo de Castro bring us this wonderful coffee. Home to some of the highest elevation coffee farms in the country, the topography, soil, and climate at São Domingos, combined with fastidious processing, results in this unique, delicious coffee. Low in acidity but intensely flavorful, this coffee show notes of chocolate, roasted nuts, dried cherry and tobacco and boasts dense, satisfying body.
  • Black and Tan
    The black and tan has been a long time bar favorite consisting of a darker beer poured over a lighter brighter one creating a delicate balance of flavors. Our version embodies the same spirit combining rich, full-bodied dark roasted coffee with a sweet, clean, light-roast in a blend that looks almost as good as it tastes - and you don't need a funny bent spoon to enjoy it!
  • Decaf Espresso Toro
    Sometimes the bull needs to be tamed, and that's where our Decaf Espresso Toro comes in. This decaffeinated version of our regular signature espresso is delicious on its own or as a base for late-night cappuccinos, lattes or mochas.
