We get asked by friends and family where to buy coffee a lot. It’s a tough question! It’s easy to lose track of just how many incredible, fresh, vibrant coffees are out there. Every week, we ask our advertising roasting partners for coffee recommendations they’re most excited about. Here’s this week’s collection of some of the most interesting whole bean coffee offerings available from talented roasters across the globe.
Our coffee newsletter subscribers get this list each week, a few days before anyone else—check it out over at Substack.
Partners Coffee Roger Domínguez produces some our favorite natural process coffees, like this red bourbon from Finca San Francisco. This coffee is all punchy and jammy red fruits—think strawberry and raspberry compote or rhubarb pie—supported by subtle notes of chocolate and brown sugar. A delicious filter coffee. |

Madcap Coffee We first met Luis Reinoso in 2010 and have been buying his coffee ever since. Luis produces coffee in a collaborative effort with his wife, Yenni, whose name you may recognize from a previous label from the Reinoso farm. The Reinosos had the first coffee Madcap ever purchased from Colombia. Luis and Yenni operate on a small, secluded eleven-hectare farm on the outskirts of Herrera, Tolima. There you’ll find Luis diligently keeping records while processing small batches, and Yenni raking the drying coffee on top of the roof of their farmhouse. Though this coffee bears his name, Luis is the first to emphasize that it’s an equal partnership between Yenni and himself. In recent years, their daughter Mirtly has also been helping the family process the coffee. In this balanced cup, expect notes of hibiscus, pomegranate, and lime zest. |

Dune Coffee Benjamin Paz is a multiple time Cup of Excellence winner, taking first place with his coffees in 2022 and 2024. His farm, La Salsa, is is located on the Santa Bárbara mountain of Honduras. Here, the rainforest and proximity to water create a unique microclimate, where the Geisha variety thrives amidst these high elevations on the farm. Benjamin then processes this coffee using an anaerobic washed process, preserving the floral flavors and silky textures of the Geisha variety grown in the Santa Bárbara terroir. Benjamin’s Geisha reminds us of sweet stonefruit and vibrant citrus, with aromatic floral qualities like jasmine and honeysuckle. |

Mr. Espresso Rosalba Cifuentes Tovía came to the San Francisco Bay Area from Chiapas, Mexico, with two small children and without knowing any English. What she did know was coffee. Incredibly, she built a network within Bay Area coffee circles. It has been her passion to use her coffee expertise to uplift the people from her native community of Chiapas. With 168 women producers of small acreage farms contributing to this lot, we are extremely proud that it is among our offerings. Rosalba has grown Mayan Harvest into a source that represents some of the best in the region. Combined with direct traceability and an exquisite taste that brings to mind notes of cherry, cream, and panela, this is a coffee you’ll feel good about buying and better about drinking. |
