Why We Roast the Way We Do

At ShortD’s, we believe great coffee starts with intention. That’s why we roast in small batches, to bring out the best in each bean, not mass produce mediocre cups. Our custom roasting process ensures every batch is even, flavorful, and tailored to your desired roast profile. It’s hands-on, high-standard, and never rushed, because your coffee should be as unique as your taste.

About Our Beans

We only offer ethically sourced, single-origin coffee from farms that practice sustainable agriculture and natural processing methods: no synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, or mold toxins. What you get is a clean, flavorful, pesticide-free bean roasted to perfection.

Colombian Supremo

Smooth, rich, and full-bodied. Colombia is the largest exporter of washed Arabica coffee, and this Supremo-grade bean delivers the classic flavor profile that made it famous. Grown in high altitudes and known for bright acidity and chocolate undertones.


Brazilian Santos

Balanced, mellow, and versatile. A favorite in dark roast blends, Santos beans from Brazil hold up beautifully to deeper roasting without bitterness. Expect mild sweetness and nutty notes—a staple in espresso and cold brew.

Guatemalan

Complex, aromatic, and bold. Grown in volcanic soil across historic coffee regions, Guatemalan beans are known for deep chocolate flavors, hints of spice, and a pleasant brightness. A true favorite for medium to dark roast lovers.

Sulawesi Kalossi (Celebes Kalossi)

Earthy, rare, and full-bodied. From ancient trees in Indonesia’s Toraja region, this bean thrives in shaded volcanic terrain. Small family farms use traditional wet-hulled processing, creating a cup with low acidity and rich, syrupy depth.

Decaf Dark Roast – Swiss Water Process

Bold flavor, no jitters. Using the chemical-free Swiss Water Process, this decaf retains its full-bodied, dark roast taste without the caffeine. The process takes 8–10 hours using green coffee extract to gently remove caffeine while preserving flavor.

From Roast to Brew: Timing Is Everything

What happens after roasting matters. Freshly roasted beans naturally release carbon dioxide (CO₂) during the first 24–48 hours. That’s why we use degassing valve bags, and why your beans arrive ready to brew.

Need a lighter or darker roast next time? Just let us know—we roast on demand, so we can dial it in to match your exact taste.

Your Coffee Journey Starts Here:

Fresh Roast, Better Flavor

For peak flavor, enjoy your beans 3 - 14 days after roasting. The sweet spot is around day 6, but if you're within the 2-week window, you're in the golden zone. Each bag is labeled with the roast date so you can sip with confidence.

How to Store Your Beans

Protect your flavor. Store your beans in a cool, dark space, preferably in an opaque, air-tight container at room temperature. Avoid clear canisters and never refrigerate. Proper storage keeps your roast fresh and full of depth.

Grind Tips for the Best Brew

We recommend grinding right before you brew to preserve maximum flavor and aroma. But if you'd prefer your beans ground, just choose your grind type at checkout, we’ll handle it with care so you're brew-ready on arrival.
