Coffee FAQ

Absolutely yes.  100% of the coffee roasted by Coast Roast is USDA certified organic.

Yes.  All Coast Roast Coffee greens are shade grown with Fair Trade certification.  We work hard to select coffee from producers that are ensuring high ethical standards are being met or exceeded.  We pay a premium for the highest quality organic coffees. By paying more we help producers and their families earn a living wage while also improving their communities.

Yes, all of our coffee is sold as whole beans but if you need us to grind it for you, simply add those instructions into the Notes section in your Shopping Cart or email us right after placing your order. Please clarify the type of grind you prefer - course, medium or fine.

No. All coffee roasted by Coast Roast Coffee is certified organic and 100% arabica beans only.  Flavorings or chemicals are never added to our coffee.  Tasting notes referencing various flavors are simply suggestions to determine what the coffee may taste like.  These are flavors noted during the cupping process and may deviate from person to person.

Single-origin coffees are sourced from a specific place.  Generally these coffee beans are more lightly roasted to bring out unique flavors from the region.  Blends contain 2 or more coffees from different places that we combine to create a distinct flavor.  These are generally medium to dark roasted.

Dark roasted coffee actually contains lower levels of caffeine when compared to Light roasts. Light and dark roasts come from the same bean, but the temperature and the time they are roasted are very different.

Coffee is bagged to best preserve the product as long as possible, but it won't last forever.  Coffee will taste best when ground immediately before brewing. Grind only the amount of coffee you plan to brew and store the remainder in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, heat, and sources of humidity. Avoid putting your coffee in the refrigerator or freezer.

Always use a conical burr grinder, as opposed to the grinder type with a single blade.  This will give you much greater control of the grind and do a far superior job.  Keep your machine clean, and always grind your coffee fresh before brewing when possible.
