Coffee is a culinary ritual. It’s the first taste of the day and the afternoon
reward. You can take it and run with it - or draw it out slowly, drip by drip - with a
beautiful foam and a delicate spoon. It’s the only part of your day that you can
really control - and so, if you ask us, it’d better be perfect.
At Coffee Afficionado we’re serious about coffee. It’s a ceremony we
celebrate as often as possible. This passion is what drives us to bring you the
best-tasting cup of your life - every day.
In Coffee Afficionado’s pursuit of perfection, we’ve identified the core
values of our brand - and our beans:
- keeping good company -
We set out to find individuals who are as equally passionate about coffee as we are. It’s not
surprising that we found our greatest supporters in the most celebrated kitchens and the star-rated
dining rooms of New York City. We’ve teamed up with these acclaimed chefs - the true
masters of the culinary experience - to enhance the flavor attributes of our coffees and create
custom blends that will best complement their menus.
- a commitment to the craft -
We believe that the true art of coffee is in achieving sublime harmony in the roasting and
blending processes. We recreate the coffee experience by utilizing the best of old world methods
combined with more contemporary processes. To better account for the variations of quality and
flavor from harvest to harvest, we downsize every aspect of the coffee roasting process. That
means: internationally-sourced micro lot coffees, rigorous rounds of cupping in accordance with
bean qualities, small-batch roasting, and small-quantity, more-frequent distribution.
- letting the truth taste for itself -
Appetite is everything. And, nothing drives appetite more than our palate’s distinct memory. At Coffee Afficionado, we constantly seek ways to understand the relationship between food and coffee - and evaluate the flavor attributes of our blends accordingly. Thanks to the meticulous feedback we receive from the most respected chefs and passionate home gourmets - we’re able to achieve a superior-tasting cup of coffee. Moreover, we guarantee that all of our coffees are packaged within 6 hours of roasting to lock in flavor - and shipped within 24 hours so that others may experience it.
