Our Coffee & Process

Gun Monkey Coffee sells single-origin, Fair Trade coffee sourced from small to medium-sized family-owned farms in Latin America. 

 

Current Roasts

Our medium roasts — the Battle Buddy and Wheels Up -- are sourced from Colombia. Our light roast — the Fuzzy — is also sourced from Colombia.

The medium-dark roast — the Door Smoker — is sourced from Honduras. 

Our Process

We spend several days developing the perfect profile for each coffee roast by initiating a series of roasts and cuppings to develop and hone our coffee.

We strive to find the perfect profile that is neither too acidic nor too bitter, but a bold and flavorful coffee. Once we zero in on the specific profile and determine the time and temperature it takes to achieve the best-tasting coffee, we then repeat the process for every order. 

Each green coffee bean has its own unique profile based on its origin. The key is to discover its unique taste within the roasting process.

Have you ever tasted coffee that is too bitter or too acidic? Coffee can be grown in different altitudes and warm regions, making it especially difficult to find the perfect roast and a great-tasting profile. Each bean has its own unique flavor and behaves differently under heat. Some beans need to be roasted for a long time to break down the acidity and some need to be roasted for less to prevent a bitter taste.

The coffee bean can changes its aroma and taste in less than a minute, so it takes patience to lock into the perfect profile.

We are a small batch coffee company, which means we roast the coffee by the pound to guarantee the best quality. Every cup of Gun Monkey Coffee is special because every roast is crafted by hand. We hope you’ll love drinking it as much as we love roasting it.
