Appreciate The Bean

There is much debate around whether or not you should buy your coffee pre-ground or as whole beans. Convenience is the only argument for pre-ground coffee, but what you are giving up for convenience is HUGE: Freshness and taste. 

Think about another popular drink, wine, for example. One of the only downfalls about wine is having to spend the 90 seconds removing the cork. The reason the cork is so meticulously placed is to limit the amount of oxygen that the wine interacts with. The oxygen creates a chemical reaction that immediately begins to change the taste of the wine and if left open for even a limited time, even less than a day, the taste of your once delicious bottle of adult grape juice becomes stale. Which let's be real, nobody wants stale wine. 

So now you're thinking, but this is roasted coffee beans and not wine. What's the worst that is going to happen? Well, a lot. When a coffee cherry is roasted, the outer sh

1) When brewed properly, Chemex delivers a taste that is unrivaled. The Chemex Bonded filters are thicker than traditional pour over filters, and they block out even the finest unwanted particles, oils and fats. This allows the purest taste of the coffee to drip though and we believe when used in conjunction wi

We are thrilled to announce that we did it. We have launched. We've opened our [digital]-doors.

For us, coffee is an obsession, a hobby, a connoisseurship. Coffee is what gets us moving in the morning, or helps us blast through our mid-day crash. It helps us focus when we need it most and relaxed when times are stressful. It's there for us when we are happy, sad, tired, excited or uninspired. Believe you me, we drank a TON of coffee through this launch process, and enjoyed every moment of it.

This launch is just one baby step in the grand vision of where we think the wonderful world of coffee can and needs to be. 

Come join us in this journey and remember one very important note...always take your #FiyeliBreak :)
