In many cases, yes. However, our first priority is quality and flavor. Sometimes these priorities align and our producers are certified organic and/or fair trade. We always pay well above fair trade rates (which are quite low and don’t guarantee sustainability or quality).
Often times, the producers we work with are too small to gain certifications. It’s expensive and laborious. Many of our producers are certified organic and fair trade, including many of our producers in Peru, Ethiopia, and Mexico.
We recommend drinking our coffee within one month of the roast date. Most of our coffees taste best however within 2 - 14 days of roast date.
For espresso, we recommend using coffee that has rested at least 7 days after roast date. This is because coffee gives off CO2 after roasting that can interfere with extraction. One way to get around this is to let your ground espresso dose sit for 30-120 minutes before pulling the shot. Email info@colorroasters.com for more questions about this.
If you are pre-grinding the coffee, we recommend drinking the coffee within one week of grinding.
Yes, we can. Please specify the brewing method you will be using to prepare the coffee in the notes of the order. And we will be happy to grind the coffee for you on our commercial grinder.

shipping
We ship online orders Tuesday through Friday. Our goal is to deliver you the freshest coffee possible. Sometimes this may cause us to wait an extra day or two to ship your coffee, as we do not typically roast Friday through Monday. Depending our your proximity to Eagle, this could mean you receive your coffee within 1- 5 days from the roast date.
For online orders, we ship using USPS. For wholesale orders, we ship using Fedex.
Yes, we can ship anywhere in the world! Keep in mind, international shipping is quite expensive and the buyer is responsible for all costs.
Yes, all packages shipped domestically are insured through USPS and Fedex. This is for packages that never show up and/or are lost in transit. If your coffee is damaged in the shipping process, we are happy to replace your order, no problem. The only thing we require is a picture.
