Description

The Enthusiast:
This is one of our most popular subscriptions. The Enthusiast was created for people who have a palate and appreciation for specialty coffee. In other words, if you have experience with coffee and own a V60, Aeropress or Bee House then The Enthusiast is a perfect light roast coffee subscription for you. We work to find the freshest and highest quality coffee farms from across the globe. Basically, our goal is to source coffees that were just harvested so you can experience the freshest possible coffee. Then, once received we roast to order and ship right away. In effect, sourcing high quality coffee allows us to create a light roast coffee subscription with variety and nuance. Also, we tend to source coffees in this tier from Fair Trade co-ops as a way to support sustainable production of delicious coffee. Consequently, Marcus (one of our founders and lead roaster) prefers to bounce between this coffee and The Collector as his personal favorites.
Features:
  • Coffee subscription billed at your chosen frequency and easily update as needed
  • More complexity and nuanced flavors
  • More variety in origin
  • Beans change every other month – view the current farm information here
  • African, Central and South American Origins
  • Certified FTO, RA, or otherwise higher standard micro-lots
  • Specialty coffees purchased up to 400% over index
  • Light roast coffee subscription ranging from City through Full City (Light to Medium)* – learn more about roasting here

*We roast our beans to preserve and compliment the flavors of origin. There will always be a bit of variety in our roasts in our continuing attempt to express the best that each bean has to offer. You can always expect a lighter roast that features clean, smooth and easy to drink roasts.

“How many bags will I need per month?” By our calculations, one person who drinks one cup per day will go through about two bags per month.

ABOUT THIS COFFEE

This coffee is sourced from more than 1,400 producer-members from Palmares, a canton in the province of Alajuela, organized around Cooperativa de Caficultores y de Servicios Múltiples de Palmares (Coopepalmares), a cooperative designed to receive cherries from many small farms and consistently process their coffee into a well-balanced regional blend. The state-of-the-art processing facility with certifications in quality and environmental management from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) utilizes recycled water and the mechanical dryers (guardiolas) recirculate airflow to maximize furnace efficiency. The facility also has an organic fertilizer production plant and a water treatment plant. In addition to exporting coffee, Coopepalmares operates two supermarkets and a hardware store in Palmares, and sells roasted coffee for national consumption. Cooperative members have access to low interest loans and healthcare for their families at the cooperative run health center and mobile clinic.

    I loved it. I’m sad I still have to get through a bag of grocery store coffee. This is way better
