The Make Good Coffee Co. roastery is now open!

I am so excited to announce that the Make Good Coffee Co. roastery is now open!Check out the Online Store here.If you've been visiting the site these past several months, you know it's been an ongoing adventure to get the coffee roaster installed and operational in San Diego, California.  Last month, the roaster went live, and I've spent the last several weeks perfecting the first three coffees that I'll be selling.Panama Boquete - Medium Roast

This year, we went on a coffee origin trip through Costa Rica and Panama, taking us into Panama's green mountain highlands.  We toured coffee farms, and met with the farmers and field workers.  Going to coffee origin is an incredible experience that helps you appreciate the beverage we all love.

My Panama Boquete coffee is roasted medium to take advantage of the natural brightness of a Central American coffee.  When a coffee is roasted too dark, it loses some of the uniqueness.  To maintain this coffee's natural acidity, I roast it to a medium color.  You can expect flavor notes of berry and other fruit, and some milk chocolate flavor.

Malawi AA - Dark Roast

Dark roasted coffee has a nice smoky taste that so many coffee lovers like in their cup.We are excited that our Dark Roast Coffee is a Malawi AA coffee. The east African country of Malawi has a long coffee tradition, dating back to when the British planted coffee seeds in its green northern provinces in the late 19th century. To ensure a strict standard of quality, the “AA” means that it meets the highest standard before it’s exported.You can expect a medium acidity and good sweetness in this coffee, with notes of citrus, berry, and some chocolate.Check out: Make Good Coffee Co.

Online Store to US addresses is a flat 5.70, using the US Postal Service Flat Rate Padded Envelope.  I'm not trying to make money from shipping, so I'm passing on the exact USPS cost.  I encourage you to buy two pounds at a time, in order to split this flat rate shipping cost, over the cost of the two pounds of coffee.  While two pounds of coffee is more than I would normally suggest you buy at one time, this coffee will have been roasted days before you order it, so it will be as fresh as you can find coffee.  Also, it gives you two varieties of coffee to have in the kitchen, which I always like having for variety in my own home.Check out the Make Good Coffee Co. Online Store.  This website has always grown from the feedback of people who visit, so always feel free to let me know what you think of the coffees that I'm offering, or what you would like to see.
