General Questions
Do you have a cafe?
At the moment, no, we don't have a physical location. We are a cloud roasting company, and we roast our coffee in Shirley, MA.
Where can we buy your coffee?
You can buy our coffee online or visit our partners at Clear Flour Bread and Brookline Booksmith in Brookline, MA.
Why do we roast on Loring?
We are an environmentally friendly company and want to use a low fuel-consumption coffee roaster. It uses 80% less natural gas compared to traditional roasting machines. This means it reduces CO₂ emissions by over 80%, not only cutting natural gas usage but also lowering pollutants and producing less smoke for the environment.
I heard you do pop-up
Yes, we are currently doing a café popup at Merai Bar in Brookline, MA every weekend until we find our permanent home or physical location.

Coffee Questions
What is Omni roast?
This roast level is between light and medium, allowing you to experience coffee as a filter, espresso, or even cold brew.
What is the best water temperature for the coffee?
We have four recommendations for the options. Most of our beans are between light and medium, and I would encourage starting with a light roast at 94°C / 201°F. Here are the recommended temperatures for different roasts:
Light - 94'C / 201'F
Omni - 90'C / 194'F
Medium - 88'C / 190'F
Dark - 85'C / 185'F
What grind size are you recommending?
Grind size recommendations really depend on the grinder and the brewing method.
Espresso: Grind very fine to ensure the shot is within the 30-40 second range.
Drip / Pour Over: Use a medium grind size, similar to the texture of sea salt.
French Press / Cold Brew: Grind very coarse.
When can the coffee bag be opened?
We recommend resting our coffee for about 14 days after the roasting date. We have discovered that our coffee performs better after 14 days, but it really depends on your preference. You can also start drinking it after 7 days. For natural, anaerobic natural, or other processes besides washed, the coffee will shine more after 14 days or more.
