With the availability of specialty roasts growing so quickly, you might wonder what it really means for a coffee to carry that moniker. There is no single, concrete definition for specialty coffee, but at MOX Roasters we believe that a specialty coffee exists through the skill and dedication of all of the people who have made it their life’s work: from farm, to washing station, to roastery, to you, in order to make an exceptional cup of coffee.

Our team at MOX Roasters is devoted to sourcing high quality, fair trade certified beans. That way, you know you're always getting specialty grade, 100% arabica beans grown under sustainable environmental standards. Since our founding, we have been proud to work with distributors in Central America and Africa who partner with Seeds for Progress, a non-profit focused on improving education and quality of life in rural communities in Nicaragua.

As a specialty roaster, our commitment to quality over quantity drives us to offer you the best home brewing experience possible. That means sampling and sourcing beans from around the world— as elevation, humidity, and soil composition all have an effect during growth— and it means roasting in small batches to ensure freshness, with a lighter touch to avoid burning off the aromatic compounds that give coffee its flavor.

While most store-bought brands roast and grind beans in bulk, this process produces grounds that lose their flavor mere days after opening. We highly recommend grinding a single serving of beans every time you make your coffee— whether by hand or with an electric grinder, you’ll be able to enjoy the fresh flavors of your chosen roast for much longer.
