Coffee of the Month (16 oz)
What We're Crushin' On
We get it, choosing coffee can be hard! So, let us do the work for you. We are bringing in a "surprise" offering each month to spice things up a bit.
You can set this up for "subscription" and get a new coffee to try each month or order a single month at a time if something catches your eye! Add it to your favorite coffee subscription to make the month absolutely slam.
June is Juicy
Organic Mt Ijen Indonesia
The green and under ripe coffees are fermented in bags for a day because there is a
robust local market for low specialty coffee that likes fermented coffees. The ripe
cherries are then dried on patios and raised beds for naturals with a 60% shade
canopy to slow drying. For anaerobic, the coffees are fermented for a predetermined
period of time, then dried for naturals or washed for anaerobic washed coffees.
Average drying time is 10 to 15 days for naturals, 12 to 18 days for anaerobic naturals,
and 7 to 10 days for anaerobic washed coffees.
Kevenka works in East Java and specifically with coffees from Mt Ijen and Mt
Argopuro. The average farm size in East Java is 0.5 of a hectare to 4 hectares. Most of
the land is owned by the government and leased to farmers by local regional heads.
The "rent" on the farm is 10% of the revenue the farmer makes from selling coffee. As
part of this agreement, you cannot chop down any trees on the land and can only use
organic fertilizer and no chemical herbicides. So, most of eastern Java is organic
by default.
Roasted With Care
Zero automation means we never step away from your coffee. We roast in small batches with special care given to each step of the process. Our work is guided by sounds, color and aroma.
Custom Blends
We work with a variety of clients to provide the perfect coffees for their employees or customers. We can up your coffee game!
Carefully Sourced
From Honduras to Ethiopia to Indonesia, our coffee is carefully sourced from all around the world. We work directly with family farms when we can to maximize quality and impact.
Progress Coffee Roasting
Two Decades of Coffee in Austin
Progress started as a cafe in east Austin twenty years ago, long before mid- or high-rises dotted the sky. We started roasting coffee as a way to control the quality of our offerings. We've since moved on from that space but continue to apply the same high standards to the coffee we roast.
