What does roast-to-order mean?
Try-Me Coffee is a roast-to-order boutique coffee roaster, meaning we roast your coffee fresh when you place your order, guaranteeing maximum flavor. To purchase a bag of Try-Me Coffee, please order on this website. Orders are roasted within 24 business hours or less, with morning orders often ready the same day.

How is your coffee so affordable for such exceptional quality?
Our coffee is priced between $10-$14 per pound for personal orders, which is an incredible value for our quality and craftsmanship. You would typically pay much more at the grocery store for mass-produced coffee. So how do we do it? As a heritage roaster with 100 years of experience, we’ve maintained high-quality equipment that helps keep our operating costs low. But it’s also a deliberate choice. As a wholesale roaster, we want to keep smaller orders affordable for our community. It’s a commitment to making great coffee accessible to everyone we serve.

How soon can I get my coffee if I'm ordering for personal use?
Orders are roasted within 24 business hours or less, with morning orders often ready the same day. If you choose local pick-up, we will email you as soon as your coffee is ready. For local delivery, we aim to bring it to you within 1-2 business days after roasting. For shipping, delivery usually takes 1-7 days depending on your location. We'll send you an email confirmation once your order is processed, so you’ll always know what's happening with your coffee
