We’re here to bring you better coffee every day.

WHY WE LOVE BOXX COFFEE

Originally based in Istanbul but now launched in LA’s Arts District, a truly hip coffee mecca, Boxx Coffee is a project begun by two Istanbul natives who are bringing their meticulously crafted coffees to California. Boxx has a distinct eye for quality in design and detail, highlighting the fact that the founders were engineers in their pre-coffee past lives. This detail-orientedness spotlights their high standards, yet Boxx has done an excellent job of keeping their specialty coffees accessible and “cool” while still keeping an eye to their roots, as they offer traditional Istanbul-style Turkish coffee preparations in their shops.

With no retail coffee shops, Counter Culture has always focused on the immaculate quality of their roasting, and then bringing that quality to their partners across the country. Counter Culture represents many coffee drinkers’ first experience of specialty coffee, with a low barrier to entry being provided by impressive distribution and wholesale channels. Despite the expanding distribution, Counter Culture remains one of the most reliable roasters a customer can find on store shelves.

Make extraordinary coffee an agent of change

WHY WE LOVE INTELLIGENTSIA

Since its inception in 1995, Intelligentsia was founded on the idea of coffee being able to be “something more”. Founders Doug and Emily believed that people didn’t need to settle for coffee as it was, and set out to “illuminate” coffee in a way that had never been done before in Chicago, much less in the USA. Nearly 30 years later, their mission remains the same, providing curious coffee lovers with unparalleled access to flavors, aromas, sensations, and stories that inspire them to develop a deeper connection to their favorite drink.

Journey to the misty highlands of Southern India

WHY WE LOVE KAVERI COFFEE

Kaveri, named after the river in her home region of Southern India, is a woman-owned micro-roasting company that focuses exclusively on Indian coffee. Tanya works extremely hard to produce delicious, balanced, and enjoyable coffees that feature sustainability, consistency, and quality. One of her challenges is sourcing coffee from a producing country that is not widely known for having those features, and in many ways Tanya is doing work building the reputation not only for herself but also for future generations of Indian coffee growers & roasters. All of her coffees are hand-roasted to ensure quality and highlight origin flavors. She is a 3rd generation coffee roaster and has deep roots within the Indian coffee industry.

WHY WE LOVE SIGHTGLASS

Sightglass is a flagship “third-wave” coffee producer in the SF Bay Area, along with names like Blue Bottle and Four Barrel - concerned with extreme quality, transparency, and story. The vision for the brand is patient and thoughtful, with the owners making the controversial decision to not offer WiFi in their cafes, even in the heart of tech-obsessed SF - a gesture pointing towards the importance of human connection and relationships in the Sightglass world. In addition to offering education classes on pour over, Sightglass also excels in expression of their identity with elegant, harmonious design, and a focus on the people behind the beans.
