“Picky with our coffee - We've tried several local coffee roasters without much success - until we found OCD. The quality and flavor stood out immediately, and we were thrilled to finally discover a locally owned roaster we love. We're happy subscribers now!”

Description

Afraid of the Dark is our bold, comfort-forward dark roast — rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying without crossing into burnt territory. With tasting notes of dark chocolate and praline, this blend delivers big flavor with a surprisingly bright finish.

Afraid of the Dark is a customer favorite and versatile across brew methods — excellent as drip, espresso, cold brew, or French press. Whether you’re a dark roast loyalist or a medium roast drinker ready to explore deeper flavor, this blend delivers bold character without the bitterness.

Roast Level: Dark

Body: Medium

Acidity: Bright

All tasting notes come from the Arabica coffee itself — no flavorings are added.

This coffee is roasted in small batches and sent right to you so it’s fresh. Our unique roasting method produces a cup that’s smooth and flavorful; never bitter.

We believe mental health matters — that’s why a portion of every purchase helps support mental health nonprofits.

How to use it?

Use this coffee in any of your favorite brewing methods including drip, pour over, French press, espresso, moka pot, and cold brew.

This full-bodied coffee features a medium body and lively acidity that keeps each sip feeling balanced and dynamic. It's darker than Day Dream but not as intense as Dark Passenger - landing in that sweet spot where richness meets drinkability.

Flavor-wise, expect deep cocoa tones paired with the warm, nutty sweetness of praline. It's indulgent without being heavy, and smooth enough to enjoy black while still shining with cream or sugar.

How We Roast

We use an electric fluid-bed (air) roasting process that lifts and roasts the beans on a stream of hot air instead of tumbling them in a hot metal drum.

During the roast, the chaff naturally separates and is removed - rather than being baked back into the coffee. This helps prevent bitter, smoky flavors and keeps the cup clean and smooth.

Every batch is roasted hands-on by our founder and roaster Adam, who oversees the process from start to finish - from weighing the green coffee to dialing in the roast profile to cooling and packaging the final beans. Nothing is automated, rushed, or outsourced. Each batch gets the time, attention, and care it deserves.

What this means for you in your cup:

Cleaner flavor with less bitterness

Even, consistent roasting

Clearer tasting notes

Small-batch, hands-on quality

Smooth, balanced coffee - never harsh
