LOVE IT OR WE'LL MAKE IT RIGHT

SUPPORTS MENTAL HEALTH

Designated Driver is a sober blend featuring premium Sumatra beans that carry a hint of pipe tobacco (but no ashy taste) along with dark chocolate notes. Smooth and velvety, this is one to savor.

This medium - dark roast is the same roast used in our Booze Hound coffee - minus the bourbon. The hint of pipe tobacco that shows up in the delicious smell of this coffee but not in a smokey, ashy taste makes this a distinctive coffee worth trying! Alone or with its pal Booze Hound, you won’t go wrong with this blend. (We love it so much, we served it at our wedding as the Groom’s Blend).

Coffee Profile

Why Our Coffee Is So Smooth

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 before it can add harsh notes to 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.
