Specialty Coffee from your Favorite Coffee Roaster in Sacramento

It depends on your brew method and how strong you like your coffee. On average, a 12oz bag of beans brews about 20–24 cups when using a standard drip coffee maker.

• Espresso – Since each shot uses around 18–20 grams of coffee, a 12oz bag (340g) makes about 16–18 double shots.

• Pour Over / Drip – Following the classic 1:16 ratio (1 gram of coffee per 16 grams of water), you’ll get around 20–24 cups.

Ultimately, your yield will vary depending on grind size, ratio, and cup size—but a 12oz bag is usually enough for about 1–2 weeks of daily coffee for one person.

Our roast levels range from light to medium. Each coffee is roasted to the level at which its unique flavors and profile are highlighted best.

The darkest roast we do is a medium or slightly darker than medium, but we don’t do dark roasts. When specialty coffee beans are roasted to a dark level they lose their unique flavor profile. Specialty coffee is meant to highlight unique flavors that are lost in a dark roast.

Specialty coffee is coffee that scores 80 points or higher on the Specialty Coffee Association’s quality scale, meaning it’s among the top tier of coffees worldwide. It’s grown with care, traceable back to the farm, and roasted to bring out unique flavor notes—like chocolate, citrus, or berries—rather than just bitterness. In short, it’s coffee chosen and crafted for quality, not quantity.

Coffee beans don’t necessarily “go bad” or “expire” like milk or food products. Rather they begin to grow stale, lost their unique flavors, and taste bland. A coffee is usually considered fresh 2-3 weeks after the roast date. However some coffee’s peak flavors are actually developed after 2 weeks.

We source our green coffee beans through Royal Coffee an importing company committed to sourcing sustainable and ethical coffee from all around the wold.
