Populace Coffee

We are a specialty coffee roaster dedicated to creating unique and exciting coffee blends for our customers. Our journey began over a decade ago when we first started building relationships with coffee farmers around the world. We believe in working with responsible and ethical partners to ensure that every cup of coffee you drink is not only delicious but also supports sustainable farming practices.

Our Mission

Our mission is to source the finest coffee beans from the most talented farmers and roast them to perfection, ensuring each cup delivers a memorable experience. We are committed to transparency, sustainability, and quality, believing that these principles are the foundation of great coffee.

Coffee Sourcing

We source our coffee beans from various countries including Guatemala, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Brazil. We believe in fostering long-term relationships with our farmers, supporting them with fair prices, training, and technical assistance to improve the quality of their crops. By doing so, we ensure that our coffee is not only delicious but also ethically sourced.

Roasting Process

Once we receive the green coffee beans, our expert roasters carefully roast them to bring out the unique flavors and aromas. We have developed a range of roasting profiles that complement the natural characteristics of each bean, resulting in a diverse range of flavors and intensities. Whether you prefer a light and fruity single origin or a bold and complex blend, we have something for everyone.

Coffee Blends

Our coffee blends are carefully crafted to provide a balanced and enjoyable drinking experience. From our Espresso | Clutch, a bold and complex blend perfect for espresso lovers, to our House | Blend, a smooth and balanced coffee for everyday drinking, we offer a variety of blends to suit different tastes and preferences.

Single Origin Coffees

For those who appreciate the unique characteristics of a single origin coffee, we offer a selection of beans from various countries. Each single origin coffee is roasted to showcase its natural flavors and aromas, providing an unparalleled coffee experience.

Subscriptions

We also offer a subscription service where you can receive fresh coffee beans regularly. Our Roaster's Choice subscription allows you to experience new and exciting coffees every month, curated by our expert roasters.

Education and Community

At our flagship cafe in Bay City, MI, we not only serve high-quality coffee but also provide education on coffee brewing techniques and the coffee-making process. We believe in fostering a sense of community among our customers, encouraging them to share their love for coffee and learn from one another.

In conclusion, we are dedicated to delivering the best possible coffee experience to our customers. Through our commitment to quality, sustainability, and transparency, we aim to make every cup of coffee a memorable one.
