We are totally, so-lost-in-love, just-can't get-enough, rocks-us-like-a-hurricane coffee people. A bunch of passionate, opinionated C-types. Outcasts and misfits, plaid with stripes wearers, punk and jazz listeners and otherwise damn coffee freaks. Our entire mission is to bring great coffee and great people together to change the world for the better.
We did it all for the Coffee.
Barefoot Coffee was born in the Fall of 2003 from a simple idea. Why not treat coffee the same as any other quality kitchen ingredient: farm fresh, wildly intense flavors, and full of culinary potential? Realizing that each bean is affected by soil, varietal, processing, farm, elevation, micro-climate and every hand that crafts it, we are determined to let the coffee speak for itself.
At Barefoot, coffee is our life and our passion, and we are totally so-lost-in-love with it. We travel to origin to find the most conscientious coffee producers and hand select the coffees that take our breath away with joy. Most of our harvests are purchased from farmers we know personally, and the utmost care taken to leave as little of our mark on their hard work as possible. You can literally taste the hand of the farmer who grew it and the dirt it was grown in.
Barefoot pays more for better quality, sustainably grown coffee and works hard to put more money in the hands of the farmers. We describe our flavors in the literal and fantastical; dark chocolate, guava, maple syrup, mouth-gasm and screaming metal guitar come to mind, because our coffees contain these flavors and sensations intrinsically. Great coffee refuses to be labeled: dark or light; “bold” or “strong”; anonymous or “gourmet”.
It should just taste damn delicious. And that’s what we do.
