Coffee is dynamic and akin to wine with flavor changes every year based on environmental factors.
Roasting single sourced coffee without adding fillers such as Robusta will result in slight variations from year to year.
Once the roasting process has completed the most flavorful notes and caffeine are present during a 1-3 week window after roasting.
To save waste we roast in small batches using a longer roast time to develop the most flavor possible.
This is a more expensive process, however we feel that the quality outweighs the cost.

*Note the Medium and Dark Roasts are not required to be roasted to a shiny dark color. Large roasters need to roast very dark to create a consistent flavor. They do this because they obtain beans from many regions to satisfy large sales volumes. Roasting dark to the point of the beans look oily and dark results in the majority of flavor being burnt off and charred giving a bitter flavor and upset stomachs.
WHY CHOOSE K4E COFFEE?
K4Ecoffee Roasters stands out for its commitment to providing exceptional coffee beans and roasting processes. The journey began with the founder’s exploration of European coffee culture, which sparked a quest for the secrets behind the remarkable taste of Italian and Spanish coffee.
Through extensive research and visits to family-owned cafes, several key factors emerged:
Independent, family-owned cafes in Europe roasted their coffee daily, ensuring freshness. These cafes would not use roasted beans older than three weeks ensuring maximum freshness and flavor.
The selection process focuses on the highest-graded Arabica beans found at high elevations, resulting in slower growth and enhanced flavor. Importantly, K4Ecoffee avoids using Robusta beans, known for their bitterness and potential stomach discomfort. Robusta beans are considered the lowest grade and are typically used by commercial roasters to mask coffee freshness.
Recognizing the importance of environmental factors in coffee farming, K4Ecoffee acknowledges the variability in flavor within farms and across regions. Unlike large commercial roasters, who resort to dark roasting to maintain consistency, K4Ecoffee’s unique roasting technique extends the Millard reaction phase, resulting in more developed sugars and complex flavors.
The dedication to sourcing ethically and roasting with precision has been a multi-year journey. K4Ecoffee takes pride in bringing the fruits of this labor to your cup, delivering a coffee experience born from passion and commitment to excellence. Choose K4Ecoffee Roasters for a taste that reflects years of dedication to quality and flavor.
