Each of our roasts is named affectionately after the country or region in which the beans were grown. Most of our roasts follow the lead of our namesake in being extinct birds of their respective homelands, but don’t count the dodo bird out…. Some roasts are named after more specific areas where the coffee farms reside. So settle in with your fresh cup of coffee and learn something new about where those great coffee beans came from.

A Q grade is a professional rating system used to evaluate the quality of coffee beans. Coffees that hold Q grades over 80 are considered “specialty coffee” on global standards.Every aspect of the coffee is examined in a Q grade: ethical farm practices, clean facilities, roast quality/consistency, even imperfection count. We pride ourselves on all of our roasts carrying Q grades from 82 all the way up to 92. It is our passion and commitment to excellence that provides our consumers with the best coffee available.

We have made it a point to only pair our coffee with the best. That means choosing syrups made from botanicals, without chemicals. It means using milk sourced directly from a dairy farm that does things the old fashioned way (no antibiotics, no artificial hormones, and LTLT pasteurization making sure beneficial enzymes and nutrients are not altered or removed) and delivers their milk in glass bottles just like how your parents (or grandparents) knew it.

You can find all of our bean origins on each roast’s retail page. In that section, you will also find notes and flavors to expect from each roast.

To keep your coffee at its best, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Avoid the refrigerator or freezer, as they can alter the coffee's flavor profile. Our retail bags come with resealable zips and an unidirectional degassing valve that make great coffee storage containers!

Yes, we roast our own coffee and perform quality assurance on each batch. Every 30 seconds, each batch temperature is compared to our roast standard curve, giving us an accuracy score. Dodo Coffee Co. will not serve any coffee with less than a 97.5% accuracy score.

We roast coffee however often it takes to make sure that you are getting fresh coffee. Nothing that we put in front of you will have been roasted more than 7 days previous.

Hawaiian coffee, especially the Ka’u and Kona bean, is priced higher due to its unique growing conditions, limited production, and high-quality standards. The higher labor and production costs in Hawaii, combined with the prestige and exclusivity of the coffee, further drive up its price. These factors make Hawaiian coffee a sought-after and premium product in the market.

Notes on our Ka’u:

• Washed, highest quality on screen #19 (largest bean)
• Volcanic soil mixed with ideal island climates lend to a more sought after bean
• Coffee cherries are predominantly handpicked which ensures the finest quality of bean

At Dodo Coffee Co., we believe that the freshest coffee starts with whole beans. By selling only whole beans, we ensure that you receive the highest quality and most flavorful coffee possible. Grinding coffee just before brewing preserves its essential oils and rich flavors, which can quickly degrade once the beans are ground.

Fresh-ground coffee offers several advantages over pre-ground coffee:

• Flavor Preservation: Coffee beans contain essential oils and compounds that contribute to their flavor. These oils begin to oxidize and lose their potency once the beans are ground. Grinding your coffee just before brewing ensures that these oils are at their peak, delivering a richer and more aromatic cup.
• Aroma: Fresh-ground coffee has a more intense and vibrant aroma compared to pre-ground coffee. The grinding process releases volatile compounds that create the coffee's bouquet. For the best sensory experience, grinding just before brewing is essential.
• Customization: Grinding your own beans allows you to customize the grind size to suit your brewing method. Whether you prefer a fine grind for espresso or a coarse grind for French press, having control over the grind size ensures optimal extraction and flavor.
• Freshness: Ground coffee quickly loses its freshness and can become stale within days due to exposure to air, moisture, and light. Whole beans, on the other hand, stay fresh longer, especially when stored properly. Grinding just before brewing guarantees the freshest possible cup of coffee.

To maintain the freshness of your whole coffee beans, follow these storage tips:

• Airtight Container: Store beans in an airtight container to protect them from air and moisture.
• Cool, Dark Place: Keep the container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Avoid Refrigeration: Do not store coffee beans in the refrigerator or freezer, as temperature fluctuations can cause condensation and degrade the beans' quality.

To grind your own coffee, you will need a coffee grinder. There are two main types of grinders:

• Burr Grinder: Burr grinders are preferred for their consistency and ability to produce a uniform grind size. They are available in manual or electric models. We highly recommend burr grinders for all of our coffees.
• Blade Grinder: Blade grinders are less expensive but can produce uneven grind sizes, which may affect the extraction process. If using a blade grinder, pulse in short bursts and shake the grinder between pulses to achieve a more consistent grind.

The grind size you need depends on your brewing method:

• Coarse Grind: Ideal for French press and cold brew.
• Medium-Coarse Grind: Suitable for pour-over brewers like Chemex.
• Medium Grind: Best for drip coffee makers and siphon brewers.
• Fine Grind: Perfect for espresso machines and Aeropress (with a short brewing time).
• Extra Fine Grind: Used for Turkish coffee.
