Grumpy Goat's mission is simple: Make freshly roasted, single-origin, and gourmet-grade coffee both exciting and approachable for everyone. Brian, the owner & roaster, is very selective about which coffee beans to import. He focuses on coffee that is high altitude, 100% Arabica and fully traceable. “Fully traceable means that I know where the beans are coming from. I know when they are harvested when they’re sent to the washing station when they’re set afloat. I know if they have certifications like USDA-certified organic fair trade. In terms of single origin, it’s a lot like wine. I know the regions, I know the altitudes, I know the varietals that make up the coffee I bring in.” Similar to wines, coffee is graded on a 100-point system by professional cuppers. Brian is committed to only selecting coffee beans rated 86 points or higher.
