Sumatra Mandheling

Our most aggressive coffee. Dark roasted, with earthy aromas, a syrupy full body cup, and a bittersweet chocolate finish. Strong, rich, and memorable. ?Triple picked? means that the coffee beans were sorted for size, shape, and color, by hand, three times; the result is the best coffee that Sumatra has to offer.

About Us

As teachers, Jeff and Justin drink a lot of coffee. For too long, it was a lot of bad coffee. They tried the big chains, they tried a few local spots in Boston and on Cape Cod, and they even tried a well regarded local shop out in Seattle. Nobody seemed to be able to get it just right. As the saying goes: if you want it done right, you had better do it yourself.

So now we run a small roastery in Chatham, Massachusetts. We use a Probat drum roaster and produce 15 to 20 pound batches of the best coffee we've ever had. Small batches means that it's easier to prevent mistakes, and there isn't a warehouse full of coffee sitting around getting stale. We roast it, bag it, and get it to our customers.
That's it.

Brewing recommendation

For the perfect brew use 3.5 weighted ounces of coffee to 64 fluid ounces of water. The coffee to water ratio is used over scoops due to the weight of coffee varying with the different roast levels.
