Our Story
Bonded Coffee started on a small farm in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia. We roast single-origin coffee in small batches and ship it the same day it's roasted — because coffee this fresh changes how you taste everything.
What We Believe
Coffee should be fresh roasted.
We roast and ship the same day — always. No warehouse shelves, no "roasted on" dates from three weeks ago.
Single origin, never blends.
Every bag is one farm, one lot, one story. You taste the place it came from, not a formula.
The 15-15-15 rule.
Green coffee within 15 months of harvest, brewed within 15 days of roasting, ground within 15 minutes of brewing.
Every bag starts as a full pound of green.
You get the complete roasted yield — no trimming, no short-changing. Typically ~13oz of fresh-roasted coffee.
Transparency over everything.
Every release comes with full roast data: the profile curve, the drop temperature, and cupping scores. You know exactly what you're drinking.
Small batch means small batch.
Our drops are numbered and limited. When they're gone, they're gone. We'd rather sell out than scale up.
The roaster should know the farmer.
We source from farms and cooperatives with real relationships — not commodity brokers. Every origin has a name.
Coffee is better when it's shared.
Bonded isn't just a name. It's the connection between grower, roaster, and the person holding the cup.
The Full Pound Promise
We start every bag with exactly one pound (454g) of green coffee beans. During roasting, beans lose moisture — roughly 12–15% of their weight. Rather than targeting an arbitrary bag weight, we give you the full roasted yield of a pound of green. That's typically around 13oz of fresh-roasted coffee, and it's our way of being honest about what you're getting.
Roasting Approach
Every lot is cupped, profiled, and released in small batches so quality stays personal and consistent. We roast to highlight what the coffee already is — the terroir, the processing, the variety — rather than imposing a house style. Light enough to taste the origin, developed enough to drink every morning.
