The Process
How it works
We hunt
We scour Instagram for roasters with under 500 followers — people devoted to their craft, not their follower count.
We curate
We read their sourcing pages and pick the most interesting story. Provenance, process, and passion — all three have to be there.
You discover
Your beans arrive with a handwritten note from the roaster — where the lot came from, what they tasted, why it matters.
This Month’s Roaster
Meet a roaster
Montaña Verde
◎ Oaxaca, Mexico · 2-person operation
Ana and Rodrigo Fuentes grow, process, and roast on 3 hectares above San José del Pacífico at 1,900m. Their farm-to-cup process — from cherry to bag — takes place within a single kilometer. No middlemen. No warehouses.
From their note
“This lot comes from the steep slopes above San José del Pacífico. We picked at full red cherry and dried on raised beds for 28 days. It tastes like the mountain smells after rain.”
— Ana Fuentes, Montaña Verde
Why Grainlo
“The best coffee in the world is being roasted by someone with 312 Instagram followers and a shed in Vermont.”
The specialty coffee world rewards discovery — but discovery is broken. Algorithms favor the loud. We favor the quiet. Every roaster we feature has been found, not boosted. Every note they write is real, not templated.
This is coffee with a geography, a name, and a handshake.
Questions
Common questions
What coffee will I get?
Each month features a different micro-roaster — single-origin or small-lot beans from their current harvest. We pick based on story and sourcing quality, not popularity.
How much is it?
$29/month, cancel anytime. No contracts, no commitments.
Do the roasters really write the notes?
Yes, every note is handwritten by the roaster or someone on their small team. We specifically ask for their story behind this particular lot.
Where do you ship?
We ship across the continental US. International shipping is on the roadmap.
