I have been making the occasional coworker a cup of aeropressed coffee with good reviews thus far. Being that it is shift work, most of my coworkers are used to drinking the reduced syrup of a pot that’s been left on the burner too long (one coworker thanked me for leaving it for her!). Many don’t even know coffee doesn’t have to be bitter, although some are hardcore enough caffeine addicts that they know what good coffee is, they just get what they can day-to-day.

For Christmas I’m going to make one good cup of coffee for each employee working each shift. I’ll normally take whatever light roast grounds I can get day-to-day (see above), but I wanna jazz this up a little extra.

My wishlist is:

  • Decent
  • Cheap enough to distribute among around 20-30 people
  • No super niche flavors that would be off-putting to a “layperson.”

Any ideas?

    Colectivo from Milwaukee. Best prices for really well sourced coffee. They are really a 3rd wave roaster with a starbucks-like cafe setup that allows them to sell much cheaper than others even though they are still sourcing really great single origins and small session roasting. I’ve tried em all and Colectivo takes the price:quality ratio hands down.

    Their Brazil is super chocolatey and not bitter at all for folks who don’t necessarily love coffee, but people who really do will still find interesting notes and appreciate how well it’s roasted. a bit of acidity but no bitterness, full body but subtle notes, total crowd pleaser.
