Papua New Guinea Enorga

More than adequate cousin to Jamaican Blue Mountain. Very smooth, full-bodied and suprisingly mellow for an Indonesian varietal. Low acidity and pleasant finish.


Sumatra Takengon 

Ultra heavy body, earthy spice, and very low acidity. Flavor-wise, the most easily distinguishable of the world's great coffees.


Dominican Republic Polo

Mellow flavor, good body with chocolate overtones.


Guatemala Nahuala

Medium body, smoky spice and high acidity with complex flavor notes. Bright and lively.


Tanzania KNCU

Medium body, gentle, winey acidity with notes of chocolate and fruit. 


Ethiopia Yirgacheffe FTO

Floral notes set against a citrusy backdrop with a drawn-out, winey finish.


 Ethiopia Harrar FTO

Blueberry notes predominate in this wild, full-flavored varietal. Medium to full body with the classic Ethiopian winey acidity. Unpredictable and delicious.


Bolivia CORACA

Very full body with a lovely mild spice; nicely balanced in the cup.


Brazil Poco Fundo

Full-bodied, rich, fermenty sweetness with a distinct wild side and a mild acidity which explodes unexpectedly on the palate.


Nicaragua Matagalpa

Sweet and well-balanced with a delicate acidity, notes of chocolate and apricot, and a pleasant, drawn-out finish.


Decaf Sumatra Takengon

Swiss-Water processed, less intense in flavor and body characteristics than the caffeinated version, but still plenty potent.


Decaf Peru Penachi

Medium Body, nice acidity, mildly sweet finish. Swiss-Water processed.

Tri-Africa (New!)

The best of East Africa. Medium to full body, intense wineyness, hints of citrus flowers and blueberries. Full City Roast.

Breakfast Blend

Snappy blend of coffee from the Americas, featuring a medium to full body, a hint of smoky spice, and an annoying pep and verve. Breakfast Blend is a morning person; feel free to slap it. Full City Roast.


Buffy's Blend

We may be tree-huggers, but we still love pop culture. This slayer of a blend is our daughter's favorite (if she was old enough to drink it!), featuring chocolatey sweetness, a medium body, and a well-defined , sharp-as-a-stake finish. 3/4 Full City Roast, 1/4 Italian Roast.


 Chuckanut Gold

What do you get when you cross an under-utilized Central American bean with an under-utilized Indonesian varietal? Well duh, you get Chuckanut Gold, of course. Brighter than House Blend, smoother than Breakfast Blend. Medium Body, Medium Acidity. Don't try to smoke it! Full City Roast.


Daddio (great for espresso)

Specially concocted for all of you ex-hippies, Daddio blends a full-bodied Indonesian with an elegant Ethiopian in a psychedelic whirlwind of intense flavor. Warning: may cause caffeine-induced hallucinations. Vienna Roast.


Extra Special Blend (great for espresso)

Originally named "The Espresso Formerly Known As Pinhead", ESB combines coffees from South America, Indonesia, and Ethiopia. If you like an espresso with plenty of crema, body, and balance, this one's for you. Full City Plus Roast.


House Blend

I can't tell you what's in this or I'd have to silence you permanently. What I can say is that our house blend is smooth and well-balanced, with a mild acidity and a very clean flavor. Certified In-Law and Grandparent safe. Full City Roast.


Italian Roast

Extra dark roast blend of varietals from the Americas. Note that I said dark, as opposed to burnt or black. Still, you won't get any subtle flavor nuances here; our Italian Roast is for coffee drinkers who care more about the roasty flavor than where the beans originate from. Italian Roast.


Pinhead Espresso

An homage to our favorite punks, this ultra-crema blend is young, loud and snotty with no sense of decorum whatsoever. Smooth? Not really. Safe? Nuh-uh. This power-pop espresso blends intense varietals from Central and South America as well as Africa. Unique,  bold, and definitely not watered down for the masses. Full City Plus Roast.


 Sludgehammer

Featuring varietals from Bolivia, Tanzania, and Sumatra, this blend combines a huge body, a sweet-wild spice, and closes with a mellow, winey finish. Think of Elvis in his later years. Vienna Roast.


 Ubuntu Blend

Desmond Tutu once said, "A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed." Ubuntu Blend combines the best of the Carribean, Indonesian, Central American and African regions in a complex whirlwind of aromas, flavor characteristics, and finishing notes sure to unite coffee lovers everywhere. Full City Roast.


Velvet Elvis (great for espresso)

Full-bodied, and well-rounded, this ultra smooth blend of South American and Island coffees makes excellent espresso and outstanding drip coffee. Vienna Roast.


Vespalicious

Named in honor of our new delivery vehicle, Vespalicious consists of 1/3 Italian, 2/3 Brazil, 3/4 Carnivale, 1/5 attitude, 11/32 Carpe Diem, and 1/10 Kama Sutra. Noirish and delightful. 2/3 Full City Roast, 1/3 Italian Roast.


 Whatcom Dark

Body, body, and more body abounds in this blend combining Sumatra Takengon and Bolivia Colonial Caranavi. Earthy with a mild spice. Vienna Roast.


Soccer Mom Blend (half caf)

8:17 on a Saturday morning and you're swearing at the fourteen year-old soccer referee for blowing an offside call. Too much caffeine, perhaps? Before you hurt the poor boy, think about switching to this half-decaf concoction, which blends Indonesians and a mellow Carribean. Good for soccer dads and type-A corporate executives with heart conditions, also. Peace out. Full City Roast.


Cal's Blend (half caf)

One of our regulars came up with this half-calf blend, mixing decaf Italian roast with our old standard Velvet Elvis. More intense than Soccer Mom Blend. Cal-tested and approved. 1/2 Italian, 1/2 Vienna Roast.
