As you may know, the coffee industry is experiencing a bit of a "crisis" right now. Prices are rising AND availability is unpredictable. Typical green coffee prices have increased by 40-60% in the past six months for various climate and political reasons. What you will notice at CUCKOO is that we may not have our typical wide variety of coffees. My goal right now is to source the best coffee at reasonable prices and to be able to do that requires us to purchase larger quantities of each coffee. Doing this is a bit of a risk for a small roaster, but really the only way to keep prices down. Please have some patience and hopefully things will settle down soon and get back to "normal." Please feel free to reach out if you have any requests for a specific coffee you are really missing and I will do my best to help! - Dennis

Every aspect of specialty coffee has been painstakingly considered along the long journey from the ripe cherry at its origin country to the flavor profile created specifically for that coffee by your roaster. Typically, "specialty coffee" is roasted much lighter than a traditional coffee found in a large supermarket. This is done to showcase the flavors that are unique to that coffee, which can change from origin country down to specific lots within a coffee growing community. Those flavors are allowed to remain in your brewed cup because the roast level is carefully controlled to not over-roast and cloud those flavors by charred or burnt flavors from the roasting process. Specialty coffee does cost more, but it's important to consider all the steps involved. Most importantly, the farmers that start this process by hand-picking ripe coffee cherries and treating them with the care and respect needed to produce a cup of coffee that is exquisitely delicious and unique.
