Contrabean Roasting Company

Contrabean Roasting Company Contrabean is a small batch, craft coffee roaster. We are passionate about coffee and only offer ethically sourced, specialty coffee. Coffee is like wine.

Coffee, coffee subscriptions and brewing gear. Available on-line for home delivery or local pick-up in KW. Our goal is to help you explore and experience the world of ethically sourced, single origin coffee from the comfort of your home. We offer coffees that are traceable to their origin. We buy coffees that demand a premium price, which in turn allows farmers, co-ops and growing regions to impro

ve their environmental, social and coffee infrastructure. Coffee varieties (Bourbon, Caturra, etc) like grape varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, etc.) have their own flavour characteristics. And like wine, a variety grown in one country will taste different than the same variety grown somewhere else. Even within a country, a coffees' flavour can be affected by local terroir. Add to this the way climate, coffee processing (washed, natural, honey, etc) and roasting can develop / emphasize different flavours, and today's specialty coffee offerings have become very exciting.

One of the nicest washed Ethiopian coffees I have tasted in years. We snapped this up when gave us the heads up from Ethiopia last winter. Been working on the roast profile to make it shine. Feedback has been great.
