The journey of coffee from the tree to the cup is a wonderful odyssey, full of infinite potential and unlimited reward. Originally native to Ethiopia, coffee is today grown around the world in countries close to the equator. At Red Rooster, we take special care to roast every bean to the profile that best suits the coffee’s unique characteristics, developing the fruit, sweetness, and spice that is unique to every coffee.

There are a couple of dueling misconceptions about light roasted coffee concerning the caffeine content. In our experience, those coffee drinkers weened on the specialty coffee of the 1970's and the famous oily black beans of the era, tend to believe that Dark Roasted coffee packs more punch. Indeed it may from a perspective of pure intensity, but that doesn't mean it carries more caffeine. Then there are those who have come of age in the Third Wave of coffee and are happy to report that in fact Light Roasted coffee has more caffeine since dark roasting burns out all the go-juice. The truth is, however, that the caffeine content in one coffee "bean" is the same no matter if it is Light or Dark roasted.

Hybrid. Ingenious. User friendly. The Clever combines the robust full bodied flavor of the French Press with the clean, sediment free cup that you get from the V60.

Inventive. Versatile. Easy to use. The Aeropress is a great brewer for that single cup on the go. It produces a rich, deep cup of coffee that is best suited for light to medium roasted coffees.
