Allen uses strictly high grown Columbian Supremo coffee beans for our French Roast, and if you love a dark roast coffee this is the one to buy. The common mistake made when producing a French Roast is over-roasting, which causes the natural oils in the beans to take over the flavor and forsake any nuances or complexity they might possess. Oils can go rancid, taste sour, and leave you with the sense that you just drank a cup of steeped charcoal.
That’s why other roasters use the cheapest beans they can find and roast the heck out of ‘em. Quick, cheap, and easy, but not that interesting a coffee. Allen, of course, bucks the trend. He stops just short of “dark” when roasting, leaving the beans with a high acid content, but only slightly oily. The result is a robust, rich cup of coffee accented by a stout liveliness that will start your morning off on the right foot.

This coffee is done with a dark roast and has wild body characteristics. It's roasted on premises and is shipped whole bean.
