Coffee

Are your bags of coffee whole bean or ground? 

By default, our coffee is sold as whole beans. Coffee is at its best when it is freshly ground! However, we will grind your coffee upon request. If you would like your coffee ground, please let us know how you will be brewing it in the order notes so we can grind accordingly. 

Note: All grinders, brewers and water setups are different. We cannot guarantee that our grind will give you the best experience at home. We will not replace or refund pre-ground coffee.


When and where do you roast?

We roast Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during opening hours. Roasting days may be added depending on volume and high season. We roast on site at 11322 119 ST NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Do you have any dark roast coffees?
We source our green coffee from micro lots, small family lots, and specialty lots. As such, we aim to accentuate and compliment the inherent flavor profiles brought forth by the terroir, process, and origin of the green coffee. We find that this is best achieved at a light to medium roast; therefore, all our coffees are light to medium roasts. If you would like the flavor profile found in dark roasts, you can look for words like "Approachable" or "Comfortable" on the coffee page or Contact us. We want to find a coffee that fits your unique preference!

What water do you use for your cafe? 
For Cupping QC we use Aquacode at the hardness between 70-90 ppm. We QC every batch from our Loring. 
For our cafe we use RO water blended with filtered City Water with usual TDS between 50-90PPM depending on the day. Our KH is usually fluctuate between 20-30ppm.
