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.

Bedford has a sweet, malty, balanced profile - it works beautifully as an espresso or in a flat white with whole milk (my go-to morning coffee).

    Solid choice

    This was a really good staple for espresso and milk drinks. Has some sweetness, and a lot of body.

    First timer

    Amazing ! This bean is perfect for a latte just like they say! So delish with oatmilk , coconut milk, almond and I’m sure for those that like dairy it would be wonderful with that as well. Was great black as cold brew too.

    Not My Fav

    The flavors are a little intense, but I will say they are definitely consistent with the description. So I suppose marmalade, pomegranate and brown sugar are just not my jam. It seems like quality, and could be good if you're into that flavor profile.
