Some mornings start before the coffee's ready, and the cup has to do half the work of waking you up. This page is for those mornings: dark roast, heavy body, takes cream like it was built for it.
Night Owl Dark Blend · Quills Coffee, Louisville. The darkest roast Quills has ever done, a Honduras and Colombia blend. They taste "chocolate cake, caramel, rich, tobacco finish." Quills roasts after you order. Their words: "All coffee is roasted to order."
East Fourteenth · Tanzanian Dark Roast · Red Bay Coffee, Oakland. One of the coffees Red Bay built its name on. Their notes: blackberry, dark chocolate, date. Roasted at their B Corp certified roastery ; their shipping policy says orders are fulfilled within 5 business days.
French press if you want it heavy, drip if you want a pot of it, and don't let anybody tell you cream is cheating. Dark roasts go stale faster than light ones, so buy a bag, drink the bag, buy another. The roast guide and brewing guide cover the rest.
The Daily, our own coffee, is announced and not for sale yet. A ranch-strength dark is on the list. Until then we'd rather point you at two roasters doing it right than sell you a promise.
