We create a new holiday blend recipe every year. Only for that year.

Limited reserve means we only have a limited supply of this coffee available for the holidays. Once it's sold out, it's sold out. 

For good.

Yes!

Unlike many other artisan coffee roasters, we don’t roast small batches and keep them on the shelf waiting for an order to come in.
We get why they do it. It’s all about inventory management and efficiency in roasting.

But, we at Adventure Dog Coffee are all about taste…as much as the efficiency gurus would like us to be otherwise.
 
All of our coffees are roasted AFTER we get your order.

We currently roast all new orders every Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Since the beans have to degas for several hours after roasting, they are not packed in bags and shipped until the next business day. K-cups degas an extra day before sealing and shipping.

This is going to be a mild oversimplification...so coffee snobs should not get their undies in a bunch with what we’re going to say next.
 
Most American coffees are roasted to a medium. Just like most Europeans think American beer is weak and flavorless, they think the same about our medium roast coffees. That’s why they generally like to go with a dark roast.

The thing to remember is that roasting coffee is just like any other type of cooking. The less you cook it, the more inherent flavors are present. The more you cook it, the more you taste the cooking process instead of the food.

Kind of like sushi vs. deep-fried fish.

Make sense?

Light-roasted coffee will have more pronounced floral and citrus flavors.

Dark-roasted coffee (French and Italian roast) will tend to produce more nutty and chocolaty overtones.

And medium roast is kind of a blend between the two…and a great way to start if you’re not sure what your taste buds like yet.

If you're still not sure, reach out and we'll see if we can make some recommendations based on your taste preferences and favorite brewing method.

The short version is that coffee plants grown under a sun-filtering canopy allows the coffee cherries to develop slower. This delayed maturation intensifies flavors and nutrients with the coffee fruit, and the bean inside. Shade-grown coffee will naturally have more complex flavors — much like a fine wine — that a skilled roaster can enhance in the roasting process.

Ummmm…no. You need to step away from the computer and get outside to clear your head a bit my friend.

Our coffees are typically shipped the day following roasting. Beans have to de-gas before we seal them up in the bags or pods. This is why our 12-oz bags have a one-way valve near the top. This allows the beans to continue to vent gasses.
 
Most customers get their coffee in 3-5 days, depending on how motivated your USPS carrier is feeling that day.

Naturally, all bets are off around the holidays.

While most of our orders are roasted and shipped within 48 hours, we have zero control over what happens to your coffee once we hand it over to the  USPS.

That's why we recommend selecting Route Package Protection at checkout. For usually less than a buck, you can get protection for shipments that are lost, broken, or stolen...but not delayed.

Absolutely!

Proceeds from every bag of coffee we sell goes directly to the Rescue 22 Foundation, a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit and recipient of the 2021 Guidestar Platinum Seal of Transparency.

We donate 12% of proceeds from every 12-oz bag of coffee sold. In the spirit of full transparency, that usually comes out to around $2/bag, depending on the coffee.
 
We’d love to do more but we’re not a publicly traded coffee empire and content creation machine. We’re a young small business and have to stick with a per bag profit-sharing with Rescue 22 for now.

Even if you don’t drink coffee, consider buying a bag or 10 for your friends and help Rescue 22 get more highly skilled rescue dogs placed with more of America’s veterans.
