Cooper Street - Doorstep Delivery
Same-Day Doorstep Delivery
Available in Santa Cruz County only. Place your order by noon and we will deliver your coffee to your doorstep by 6 pm the same day, 7 days a week. This is the freshest, most uber-delicious coffee you'll ever find, and the price will surprise you. You'll never go back to grocery store coffee again.
Disclaimers: We need to deliver to a physical address (not a P.O. Box) and your address must be searchable in a maps application. We will leave your coffee on your doorstep, and if your neighbor takes it before you get home, you must fight him to the death yourself. Our off-road vehicle is broken, and our dog ate the repair manual, so we can only deliver on paved roads. By placing an order with us, you agree to these terms.
A Word About our Blends:
Blending coffee to make a great drip or a great espresso, year in and year out, is one of the great challenges facing professional coffee roasters. There are two primary reasons to blend coffee. One is to harmonize coffees from various origins to perpetuate a desirable taste profile. The other is to save money by blending high grade beans with less expensive "filler" coffees. We don't engage in the sort of tomfoolery that the latter represents. It's profitable to do so, but we like to make good coffee first and foremost, and that's pretty much not going to happen with that approach. In contrast to the vast majority of specialty roasters, we don't purchase filler coffees to make blends. If a coffee is going to go in one of our blends, it's going to be good enough for us to offer as a stand alone single-origin. So, you'll see every component of our blends on our single-origin offer sheet as well.
About Cooper Street:
Roast Profile: Split Roast
As to this Cooper Street blend, it's what is referred to as a single-coffee split blend, in this case a single origin coffee, roasted to two different finish levels. We use a natural process Sidama or Harrar coffee from the Oromia appellation of Ethiopia, home to some of the world's most spectacular coffees. The underlayment - read, majority by weight - of this blend is a lighter, faster roasted batch, with a steeper temperature ramp, and lower drum airflow in the mid-cycle, where the development of chloragenic acids (good stuff) occurs. The resulting coffee has a bright sweetness, with a fruitiness characteristic of Ethiopia Naturals. The accent component is the same natural process coffee, roasted longer, on a shallower ramp, with a increased drum airflow. The resultant caramelization adds a mellow character to the blend, and is what makes this a supremely quaffable coffee, whether in espresso or in drip.
