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.

    Fabulous espresso

    I love this espresso on its own or in a latte. I have been buying this coffee on a subscription since I left NYC and no longer live near a store that stocks it. I love that the company makes it so easy to pause a delivery when I travel or to double up when I have company - they send a reminder text and I just send a 2-second reply instead of having to log in and change settings and then having to remember to change them back.

    Good Stuff

    I’ve been using Partners Bedford Espresso consistently and it’s just solid. Super balanced, smooth, and easy to dial in. It’s got enough depth to stand up in milk drinks but still tastes clean and slightly sweet as a straight shot. No weird bitterness, no overly acidic punch; just dependable, good espresso. It’s become one of those bags I keep coming back to because it simply works every time.
