Roasted at 5,280 feet, shipped to your door
The story behind Mountain Peak Coffee, and why we still roast in batches small enough to taste-test by hand.
OUR STORY
Started with one drum roaster and a folding table
Mountain Peak Coffee began in 2016 in a small garage roastery outside Denver, roasting green coffee on a single-drum machine and selling bags out of a folding table at the Saturday farmers market. What hasn\u2019t changed since is the batch size: we still roast small, so every batch gets tasted before it ships.
Today we work with growers in Colombia, Ethiopia and Guatemala, roast several times a week, and ship nationwide \u2014 but the goal is the same one we started with: a cup that tastes like it was roasted for you, not for a warehouse shelf.
OUR MISSION
Fresh coffee, honestly sourced, at a fair price for growers
Freshness First
Every bag is roasted to order and dated, because coffee starts losing its character within weeks of roasting \u2014 not months.
Fair to Growers
We pay above commodity pricing through direct-trade relationships, and visit our partner farms every year.
Honest Labeling
Roast date, origin and tasting notes on every bag \u2014 no vague \u201cbest by\u201d dates hiding how old the beans really are.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Not your average bag of beans
Roast-to-order, not warehoused
We don\u2019t pre-roast large runs and let them sit \u2014 your order triggers the roast batch.
Small-batch quality control
Batches are capped small enough that our head roaster tastes every single one before it ships.
Direct-trade, not just \u201cethically sourced\u201d
We name our farm partners and pay negotiated prices well above commodity market rate.
Built for how you actually brew
Grind recommendations and brew guides ship with every order, from espresso to cold brew.
