Featured Coffee of the Month - Mathilde's French Roast

As the leaves change color and the mornings become crisper, nothing warms the soul quite like our take on a French Roast. Named for our great-grandmother Mathilde who drank our strong coffee until she was 103, this dark roast makes a tremendous drip coffee or an incredibly bold yet smooth French Press.

Through the end of October, Mathilde's French Roast is on sale for just $9 per 12oz bag or $23 for a 2lb bag.

How To Brew French Press

We probably have 20 different ways to make a cup of coffee here in our warehouse: espresso machines, coffee brewers that brew from the top, vacuum pots that brew the bottom. And while every method offers something nuanced and different, if we had to pick one method for brewing, it would have to be the press pot.

There is something beautiful in its simplicity. Executed properly, a cup of press-pot coffee should impress any coffee lover. Continue reading>>

How To Make Iced Coffee

In Portuguese, Cachoeira (kuh-SHWAY-duh) means “waterfall.” Nossa Familia’s original farm, Fazenda Cachoeira, derives its name from the waterfall discovered by our grandparents.
