ABOUT THE COFFEE

  • We strive to be different, rising above coffee free trade or fair trade. Blackout Coffee searches for the best quality coffee beans, working directly with farmers and local co-operatives ensuring that the farmers are paid well above the fair trade prices. This provides an incentive for the farmers to produce excellent coffee and improve the standard of living in their community. It’s all about building a connection with whoever we are buying the coffee beans from.

At Blackout Coffee, we are well aware of the sweat and grind our growers put into harvesting their coffee beans. This provides us with an understanding of the uniqueness and originality behind the taste of each coffee. We want you to feel this in every cup of coffee that has our brand name imprinted on it.

  • Coffee blends are a result of combining different coffee beans sourced from various origins. This meticulous process is undertaken to achieve a specific and desirable flavor profile that sets each blend apart. Blackout Coffee Co takes pride in their expertise in blending coffee beans to create a unique and unforgettable coffee experience for their customers.

In addition to their signature blends, Blackout Coffee Co also offers single origin coffees. These beans are sourced from a single location, typically a specific region or farm. Single origin coffees are known for their distinct flavor profiles that showcase the unique characteristics of the beans, and they originate from. These coffees are often available seasonally, adding an element of exclusivity to the experience.

That's why we roast our coffee daily to ensure that every batch is as fresh as can be.

Here at Blackout Coffee Co, we take pride in providing high-quality coffee beans, and we want to make sure you get the best possible experience with every brew.

    Why Proper Coffee Storage Matters

    Coffee is a delicate product that can easily lose its freshness if not stored correctly. Factors such as moisture, oxygen, and light can all contribute to the degradation of coffee beans, leading to a loss of flavor and aroma. To preserve the quality of your coffee, it is essential to store it in the right conditions.

Tips for Storing Your Coffee

- Use an Airtight Container: Storing your coffee in an airtight container helps to protect it from exposure to moisture and oxygen, which can cause it to go stale quickly.
  
- Keep it in a Cool, Dark Place: Light and heat can also affect the freshness of coffee. To prevent this, store your coffee in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

- Freshness is Key: For the best flavor experience, we recommend consuming your coffee within 4 weeks from the roast date. After this period, you may notice a decline in the intensity of the flavor, and your coffee may not taste as fresh.

  • Our flavored coffees are carefully crafted using a blend of coffee beans and natural & artificial flavorings, including Propylene Glycol. While we cannot disclose the exact details of our proprietary flavors, we can assure you that our products contain no sugars, sweeteners, carbohydrates, or oils.
  • Unfortunately, at Blackout Coffee, our coffee beans are not kosher certified.
  • The answer is a resounding yes! Blackout Coffee Co understands that not everyone can consume regular coffee due to various reasons, which is why they have introduced their special Low Voltage Decaf Coffee.


 You can find it easily, simply visit: Low Voltage Decaf Coffee

  • Our Decaf coffee beans are currently processed using Methylene Chloride (MC) which is done by our supplier before we receive the beans. Unfortunately, due to shortages, we haven’t been able to get decaf beans using the Swiss Water process as we had in the past.We understand that some customers may prefer decaf beans processed using the Swiss Water process. However, due to recent shortages, we have temporarily shifted to using the MC method. Rest assured, we are actively working to secure a stable supply of decaf beans processed through the Swiss Water method to offer more options to our valued customers.
