Description

The Modest is our most popular coffee subscription because these coffees are always smooth, accessible and delicious. We think of it as the Goldilocks of coffee; not too light, not too dark. They are easy to brew too! Great for any brew method including espresso and drip. If you are looking for the perfect medium roast coffee subscription then The Modest is for you.

Features:

  • Medium Roast – Coffee Subscription Billed Monthly, Weekly, or Bi-Weekly
  • Our most approachable coffees
  • Consistent flavor profiles
  • Beans change 4 or more times per year
  • Central and South American Origins
  • Allows for quality coffees to be purchased up to 250% over index
  • Roasts in the Full City to Full City+ range (Medium to Medium/Dark Roasted Coffee)*

Our focus here at Modest Coffee is to make single-origin coffee more accessible to coffee drinkers everywhere. One of the ways we do that is to offer categories that better reflect the specialty coffee marketplace. We feel this practice gives greater transparency to the entire supply chain and democratizes the buying process. Additionally, we are convinced there is no “wrong way” to do coffee(except flavored coffee, we draw the line there). It doesn’t matter if you like cream and sugar, or drink it black. As long as you enjoy what you are drinking you are doing it right.

Specialty coffee without the snobbery. That’s what makes us Modest Coffee.

*We roast our beans to preserve and compliment the flavors of origin. There will always be a bit of variety in our roasts as we strive to express the best that each bean has to offer.

“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

Finca Humana (the Human Farm) is the first thing you will hear about Café Organico Marcala, S.A. (COMSA) if you make your way to visit this cooperative in Marcala, Honduras. The wellbeing of humans is foundational to the COMSA philosophy and educating more than 1,500 producer-members to successfully live in harmony with nature is everywhere at COMSA.
It starts with the La Fortaleza, the COMSA biodynamic demonstration farm where the focus of transferring knowledge takes place through week- long seminars called Pata de Chucho (pawprints left by a stray dog), which aptly reveals COMSA’s dogged exploration for human productivity in harmony with nature.

The trailblazing ideas for using organic matter to productively cultivate high quality coffee is only a sliver of what COMSA teaches about the power of nature through the Finca Humana philosophy. COMSA dedicates significant funding from the proceeds of coffee sales to run a cutting-edge international school dedicated to filling children’s minds with possibility and training them to be the future leaders of Finca Humana.

What makes it so good? The fundamentals: traceability to the Marcala region, which is a protected designation of origin (DENOMINACION DE ORIGEN CAFE DE MARCALA); meticulous post-harvest hand sorting of cherry; cherry floating to remove less dense beans; proper fermentation; long drying times; and a healthy dose of the COMSA philosophy and training.

    This has been my go-to daily coffee (Chemex pour-over) for several years now, especially during the pandemic. Not sure why I waited to subscribe – the best way to get fresh beans!
