Coffee Specs

Named for our original Brooklyn cafe and roastery, Bedford was conceived as a modern espresso offering. With coffees from our oldest relationships in Ethiopia and Colombia, Bedford emphasizes delicious fruit flavors that still balance delightfully in milk drinks.

Suke Quto

After beginning his career in agroforestry, Tesfaye Bekele founded Suke Quto in the aftermath of a series of brushfires in the region of Guji. Seeing that locals were replanting the land with crops like corn and teff, he suggested coffee as a more sustainable alternative—a native species capable of thriving in semi-forested conditions. Seeing that farmers needed encouragement to take the risk on such a time-intensive crop, he founded Suke Quto Farm, eventually followed by a washing station and nursery. Today he is credited as one of the preeminent figures in coffee production in what is still considered to be an emerging region. 

Cuatro Vientos

Huila Department, Colombia is one of our favorite regions for volume lots. With a favorable climate and near-equatorial latitudes, Huila harvests and ships fresh, high quality coffee almost year-round. We’ve partnered here with Cuatro Vientos, a family-run exporter specializing in microlots and regional blends from farms near Acevedo, Santa María, and Algeciras.

    So good!

    Ok, I think this is my new favorite - I was worried about the acidity but this is another very well balanced coffee. I initially received this with my shuffle subscription and ordered another bag because it was so good. I usually have it as latte, my son and husband have it as either iced or hot Americano. I'm sure I will switch at some point to another variety but this is our "the usual" for a while.

    Beautiful Espresso Roast

    Just love the Bedford espresso roast - works so well with my LaMarzocco GS3 and Weber Workshops EG-1 grinder. I've definitely upgraded my espresso capabilities since making the switch!

    Excellent

    I have tried many other beans, and Partners by far has given the best creama, flavor, aroma, mouthfeel, basically everything all around It tastes buttery and chocolatey and has a mild sweetness to it. Ive tried many coffees, and this one gives me the most consistent extractions of all. 5 out of 5 for sure.
