Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn't want to do it.

Based in Connecticut, ILSE is a small two-person coffee roaster, founded and operated by Rebecca Grossman and Lucas Smith. They are dedicated to bringing out the natural sweetness and nuances of each coffee, rather than imparting any roast flavors onto them. In their own words: “Our main focus is to find beautiful coffees and then try to not mess them up.”
