The Ultimate Coffee Nerd
The Ultimate Coffee Nerd is meticulous about every step in the brew process. They test each roast with multiple techniques, adjusting all the variables until tasting notes shine. They grind their beans just before brewing, set a timer for the perfect extraction, and hypothesize the nuances of each cup.

A good bag of beans deserves a good home. This powerful vacuum canister sucks air out to prevent oxidation and extends coffee's shelf life up to 50%.

The Caffeinated Camper
For the Caffeinated Camper, coffee never tasted better than when consumed in the middle of nature. At the first signs of light, the fire is stoked or the compact Jetboil system is called to action, and elitist ideals about brew methods fall to the wayside. With a fresh perspective from waking in the wild, complaints about a gritty sip are often left unsaid.
