We are proud to be a member in Good Standing of the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association).

Maintaining these high standards and delivering great coffee to our customers every day is very important to us.

The SCA scale evaluates coffee on a 100-point system, considering factors like aroma, flavour, aftertaste, acidity, body, balance, sweetness, uniformity, clean cup, and overall impression.

Coffees scoring 80 points or above are classified as “specialty,” meaning you’re getting the best of the best coffee beans.

Can you put coffee in the fridge?

We’ve heard it all. “Can I put my new bag of whole beans or ground coffee in the fridge?” Well, we appreciate the creativity, but let’s set the record straight.

Here’s the scoop on coffee storage:

Freshly Brewed Coffee: Refrigerating your brewed coffee in an airtight container can keep it fresh for up to 24 hours. Perfect for enjoying iced coffee later!

Whole Beans and Ground Coffee: The fridge isn’t the best place for your precious beans or grounds. Coffee can absorb moisture and odors from the fridge, leading to a less than ideal flavor. Store them in a cool, dark, and dry place in an airtight container to maintain their quality.

Cold Brew: Cold brew coffee thrives in the fridge and can stay fresh for up to a week!
