About Us
Roasting Specialty Coffee Since 2007
Welcome to my website. I am David Dexter, the owner and Roaster, and I appreciate your interest in my coffee! My focus on coffee is first as a passion. I do not compromise on quality. The whole reason I have interest in coffee at all is foremost because of a love for the discovery and unveiling of some of the best coffees available. My philosophy on the varied spectrum of coffee quality is loosely as follows:
Generally, the coffees I source and roast make up at most 15% of the available crop from a farm. This means the other 85%, while lower quality and commanding lower price, is incredibly important to the farmer as well. The entire industry is important to the salability of the crop. I appreciate the whole industry, even if the quality of some is considered junk and is publicly denounced by many in the coffee industry. I have no interest in comparing my coffee to an inferior product to differentiate. My goal is for my coffee to stand on its own merit due to the exceptional taste and quality.
Our Focus and Some Recommendations
We roast coffees focusing on taste for drip and pour over.
Basics to ensure you properly enjoy our coffee.
We recommend using a pour over. Pre-wet the filter. Start with a 1:18 ratio (1 gram of coffee to 18 grams of water) and adjust your ratio to taste... If you don't want to use a scale and be incredibly specific, you can also start with 3 tablespoons of coffee and 2 cups of water and adjust from there.
Use water that is just off boil. Do not use boiling water.
Water can greatly alter the taste of the coffee. Generally, spring water is the best. However, most filtered water is sufficient.
We recommend waiting one week from roast date before using fresh roasted coffee for espresso.
Most coffees are best enjoyed within 3 weeks of roast.
Coffee taste can change rapidly due to oxidization and diffusion. Keep your coffee in a container that seals. Do not keep in a warm or moist environment. Buy a size appropriate for your consumption. If you take more than 3 weeks to go through 1 pound, ask about smaller quantity options.
Subscriptions
You can purchase our coffee in 1, 2 and 5 pound bags. We only offer whole bean. If you do not have a grinder, buying the grinder is well worth the investment.
If you love what you buy and want repetition, we offer subscriptions, customizable to suit your needs.
For example:
2 pounds every 2 weeks
5 pounds every 4 weeks
1 reserve pound monthly
Our Reserve Line is some of the hardest to find and best coffee available. Most Reserve Coffees start at $45 per pound.
