How fresh is Fresh Roasted Coffee? Fresher than that first slice of watermelon on a hot summer day!

Roast To Order

At FRC, we roast to order, which means we don’t roast it until you order it! This guarantees that you are getting the freshest coffee possible by the time it finds its way to your doorstep. But what exactly does that process look like?

Let’s walk you through it from start to finish, one step at a time.

It All Starts With A Bean

We are devoted to hunting down the best coffees from farms all over the world. By developing personal relationships with the farmers, and seeking out fair trade and direct trade coffees where ever possible, we ensure that your coffee is not only the very best quality, but sustainably sourced from origins that need our support the most. Once we have chosen a quality coffee, green (or unroasted) coffee arrives to our facility in burlap bags or even wooden barrels.

Ready To Roast

When you place an order at freshroastedcoffee.com, your coffee selection will be picked from our green coffee and loaded up into one of our Loring® Smart Roasters to be roasted that very same day. Thanks to these innovative roasters, you can rely on the consistency of the roast for any given coffee. That’s because Roastmaster Dave programs his finalized roast profiles into the roasters, greatly reducing the chance of variance. That means that the Bali Blue Moon that you ordered last month should look and taste exactly the same as the one you receive this month!

Seal In The Freshness

After roasting, the coffee is transferred to our bagging machine, where it is bagged and nitrogen flushed, before being sealed. Nitrogen is used, because unlike Oxygen, it doesn’t contribute to staling. During the flushing process, oxygen is forced out of the bag. Flushing continues as the bag is sealed, and then with one final flush, the bag is closed.

But we aren’t done yet. As any good coffee roaster knows, coffee beans need to be allowed to expel carbon dioxide after roasting. Sealing a bag with no way for this gas to release can cause quite an explosion. That’s why our bags are fitted with one-way valves that allow carbon dioxide out without letting anything else back in.

Time to Embark

In just a few hours after ordering, your coffee has been roasted and bagged. The whole process takes just about 20 minutes! Now, your special brew is ready to be boxed up and shipped directly to your door. Our shipping department works tirelessly to make sure that this step happens quickly and with no mistakes. They may even throw a few stickers in your box for good measure!

If ordered between Monday and Thursday before 2pm, your coffee should ship out the very next day. Coffees placed between Friday-Sunday will ship out Monday morning.  From farm to roaster to your cup – your coffee is guaranteed to arrive fresh and ready to enjoy! Don’t settle for coffee that’s been sitting on the shelf for months. Choose Fresh Roasted Coffee instead - for coffee so fresh, we named our company after it.
