The Beans

Coffee at Kopplin’s is chosen using one simple method... Tasting. Good coffee tastes good. Rather than covering up the flavor of coffee by adding “condiments” or a myriad of flavor combinations to our beverages, we prefer that our customers experience it.

Good coffee is sweet and complex. In fact, the chemical complexity of coffee is more than twice the amount of wine. Coffee has over 800 identifiable chemical flavor components and wine has approximately 350.

The major contributing force to this flavor complexity lies in the concept of the French term terroir. Loosely translated, terroir means “a sense of place.” Coffee, like wine, is sensitive to the environment in which it is grown. Coffee bean characteristics can vary drastically, based on small variations in soil type, climate, and topography.

While these qualities develop at origin, for optimal tasting experienced they must be preserved all the way to the cup. Rhis requires care, concern, and attention to detail every step along the way—processing, shipping, roasting, and brewing.
