Steep + Brew was founded in 1979 as a place where people could gather to share music and conversation. We began traveling to coffee farms in Central America, learning the fine art of roasting coffee.
Exceptional bean selection and freshness have made Steep + Brew among the industry’s top specialty coffee roasters.
Steep & Brew Coffee’s Master Roaster selects from among the finest coffee beans. Select beans, combined with precision roasting, and adherence to strict brewing requirements ensure that our coffees deliver an adventurous experience for even the most discriminating coffee consumers.
Like a fine wine, the flavor of a coffee can be influenced by the part of the world in which it is grown, the elevation of the coffee farm, and even the type of soil. From the tangy, lively flavors of Costa Rican coffee to the bright, sparkling taste of Kona coffee, to the smokey, tangy taste of a classic French Roast, Steep & Brew Coffee brings you a sampling of distinctive coffee roasts from the far reaches of the globe.
The quality of any coffee starts with the bean. There are two very different types of coffee beans. Arabica beans grow at a high altitude, are handpicked, and produce the finest, most flavorful coffees. In contrast, Robusta beans are grown at a lower altitude, can be machine harvested, and are therefore significantly cheaper. Robusta beans are generally used as filler in many mass-produced coffee, such as canned grocery store varieties. Steep & Brew uses only the finest 100% Arabica coffee beans available, carefully selected by Steep & Brew’s Master Roaster. Each shipment of beans received is tested before it is accepted for roasting by Steep and Brew.
If you’ve ever made peanut brittle, you’ve probably tasted raw peanuts and noticed how they don’t taste anything like roasted peanuts.
Likewise, unroasted coffee beans are green, hard, tasteless, and do not even hint of the rich character locked within. Roasting develops
the full flavor and aroma of each coffee bean. From citrus overtones, to chocolaty richness, to lingering floral notes, each bean harbors
a complex personality that the roasting process gently fosters and brings to life.
Our Master Coffee Roaster has a trained
understanding of both the artistic and scientific complexities of this process and has years of experience producing award-winning
coffees. This ensures that you will enjoy a consistently exquisite cup of Steep & Brew coffee every time.
