Gradient is a beautiful expression of Colombian coffee through a more developed roast profile. This coffee bridges the gap between light and dark roasts with flavor clarity and complexity that shines through any brewing method from espresso to filter coffee to cold brew.

Sourced from small-scale farms throughout the diverse landscapes of Colombia, Gradient is a true testament to these producers’ dedication and expertise. We go the extra mile to ensure that our coffees are not only delicious but also traceable. Colombia is the third-largest producer of coffee in the world and although it’s easy to find and purchase these generic blends, we've put in the hard work to establish transparent value chains. These direct relationships mean we can purchase coffees from the same farmers year after year and pay premiums for the exceptional quality they deliver.
Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or simply seeking a delicious cup to brighten your morning, Gradient is crafted with care and expertise to ensure that every sip is a sensory delight. Grind the whole beans immediately before brewing for the freshest cup of delicious coffee every time. We recommend 1 gram of coffee for every 17 grams of water for most brewing devices. Experiment with using more or less coffee to find the perfect brewing ratio for you. Check out our brewing guides to get the most out of your coffee.

We believe in paying more.

We believe paying more for green coffee is an important investment in the long-term viability of our coffee-growing partners’ businesses and our supply.
