We hold our breath when we roast French because, well, it’s actually a little dangerous. Our French is so dark, we push the batch just to the inside edge of fire. This tightrope walk allows the beans to baste in their own smoke, absorbing every inch of intensity along the way. As we get closer and closer to the end, smoke finds a way to escape from all the cracks and crevices in the roaster and ductwork, like some b-roll from that show Chicago Fire. Then we close our eyes, count to 3 and throw the door open, dropping the batch of glistening dark beans into the copoling tray, averting disaster yet again. It's worth the risk to make all of you dark roast coffee monsters happy.
We aim to create an approachable environment where everyone has a seat at the table and the bean benefits all.
With every brew, we pour our passion and expertise into designing a cup of coffee with your pleasure and tastes in mind.
All our coffee is purchased at or above fair trade price from transparent and sustainable brokers and farmers.
As coffee nerds, we have a quirky outlook sourced from the early days of science fiction, fantasy, and lore.
My favorite coffee
This is a very good full-bodied coffee for my every morning 2-mug habit. But I think I prefer the Mocha Java which is a little richer and sweeter.
Rich, consistent flavor and easy-to-grind beans.
Love this roast, but stovetop espresso grind is not espresso grind. Espresso grind is very fine, almost dusty. Stovetop espresso grind is a bit more coarse. Please train your baristas. It is very disappointing not to realize this until after I’ve returned home.
one of the regular roasts I reorder. good for everyday coffee
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
