Shipping Update 2025!
Posted on 27th Oct 2025
There is a lot going on in the world today, and we've tried to keep on keepin' on, without too much change. However, a combination of the tariffs affecting coffee pricing (green coffee is up 40%, but our prices aren't), and USPS raising rates yearly as they always do, has created the perfect storm. Starting Nov 1, shipping prices will go up as follows:
1-2lbs - $5.95 > $7.95 (my actual cost $12.85)
3-6lbs - $11.95 > $14.95 (my actual cost $21.95)
7-8lbs - $17.95 > $21.95 (my actual cost $31.40)
This is our first increase in 3 years, and as you can see, we are still heavily discounting shipping costs. Of course, the more you order, the less it costs per lb. It's always helpful for us if you order, for example, 2lbs instead of 1lb, or 5lbs instead of 3lbs.
Hopefully the tariff situation will relax in time for the holidays. Until then, cheers!

Please read: temporary pause in roasting!
Our landlord of 9+ years leased the building, so we had a limited time to search for and find a new location, and move everything, which we did yesterday. The new space is not quite ready to go, so there will be some down time where we will not be roasting orders. We expect to [...]
Update on shipping rates
As a consumer, I hate shipping rates, and I know you probably do too. Unfortunately, USPS raises rates yearly, but we have not raised rates for 5-6 years now; we charge $4.95 to ship 1-2lbs of coffee anywhere in the US, but the actual cost is just under $10, so on a $20 pound of [...]
Cyber Monday Discount!
Through tomorrow, 12.2.19, 'BlackFri19' is good for 15% off all single origin coffees besides Kona!
Lower Shipping Rates!
Since freshness is one of our main concerns, we have always used USPS Priority 2 day mail. While 2lbs or more has always been fairly economical, due to the flat rate boxes, shipping on single pounds has been as high as $12 to the east coast, which is a lot. I'm giving flat rate envelopes [...]

We now accept Bitcoin!
Why Bitcoin? I'm a firm believe in accepting all major forms of payment. Few things are more needlessly irritating than that pesky business that doesn't accept AMEX, Discover, or whatever your personal preference is. Well, Bitcoin isn't mainstream yet, but it's a pretty safe bet it's not going anywhere, and I'd like to offer you [...]
Shipping tips!
As most of you know, we roast to order, and ship the same day using only USPS Priority Mail. Freshness is paramount, and USPS provides the best combination of speed and lower cost. We don't pad shipping prices, it's the actual cost, with one exception I'll lay out below:Single lbs ship in a variable rate [...]
