Why Grumpy Goat Coffee

Grumpy Goat Coffee focuses on sourcing the highest quality green beans available.

In order to do this, we focus solely on single origin and regional select green beans and source our beans from providers that follow SCAA standard cupping protocols.

There are several aspects of the coffee that are evaluated when cupping a particular coffee.

  • Fragrance/Aroma: tested in the dry and wet coffee grounds
  • Taste, Aftertaste, Acidity:  how lively and bright is the coffee
  • Body: how weighty is the coffee on your palate
  • Sweetness, Balance: does everything work well together?
  • Overall impression of the coffee: does it have everything that you expect/is there anything missing?
  • Flavor defects: we look for flavor defects in the coffee. Defects are negative flavors that take away from the quality of the coffee and can arise at really any point in the coffee cycle: wet processing, milling, while in transit from origin, etc.

We exclusively offer single-origin coffees, meaning each batch is sourced from a single geographical location, be it a specific country, region, or farm. This https://tattoo79.com.ua approach allows us to highlight the unique flavors and characteristics inherent to each origin, providing our customers with a diverse and authentic tasting experience.

Full Traceability
By maintaining relationships with coffee sourcing experts, we ensure transparency and quality from farm to cup. We have all the documentation on the coffee beans and the chain of custody throughout the harvest, wash station, export and import process. The Grumpy Goat team can share with you which coffees are fair trade organic, women-produced or other unique characteristics.

Freshness
Freshness is paramount in our roasting process. We roast our coffee beans in small batches to order, ensuring that each bag reaches our customers at its peak flavor potential. This commitment to freshness not only enhances the taste but also preserves the aromatic oils and nuanced flavors that define specialty coffee.

High-Quality Beans
Our selection process is meticulous; we source only high altitude, specialty-grade coffee beans that score 86 points or higher on the 100-point scale used by professional cuppers.  The coffee is cupped in-country prior to export and re-cupped upon reaching U.S. soil to validate the score. This high standard ensures that our coffees are among the best available, offering complex flavor profiles and superior quality.

Expert Roasting
Our founder and master roaster, Brian Abernathy, brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the art of coffee roasting. Each batch is roasted to perfection, tailored to the specific characteristics of the beans, to bring out the optimal flavor profile. This expertise ensures that every cup of Grumpy Goat Coffee delivers a consistent, rich and satisfying experience.

Community Engagement
We believe in building strong relationships within our local community. Through collaborations with chefs, brewmasters, and food industry partners, we have developed award-winning coffee-inspired flavors and recipes. Our involvement in community events and support for local businesses reflect our commitment to fostering connections and contributing positively to society. Our published articles, interviews and in-person tasting events serve as platforms to share knowledge, enhance appreciation, and empower individuals to make informed choices about their coffee consumption.

By adhering to these principles, Grumpy Goat Coffee strives to provide not just a product, but a comprehensive and enriching coffee experience that resonates with connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
