    BEST BREWED WITH

    While our coffee is versatile and works beautifully across various brewing methods, we recommend Espresso, Drip Brewer or French Press for this number.

    HOW TO BREW

    For Espresso

    1. Measure 18-20g of finely ground coffee (like powdered sugar).
    2. Tamp grounds firmly into portafilter.
    3. Lock portafilter into machine, start extraction.
    4. Aim for 25-30 secs for about 30g espresso.
    5. Serve and savor.

    ROASTED AT ALTITUDE

    All our beans are roasted on-site in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. At high altitude, the lower roasting temperatures allow the natural sugars in the coffee beans to caramelize slowly. This unique process creates deep, rich flavor profiles and smooth textures — without the bitterness.

    RESPONSIBLY SOURCED

    At VMCT, we take pride in fostering direct relationships with growers to ensure that every coffee bean and tea leaf we source is responsibly cultivated. We’re committed to ethical, organic, and sustainable practices, understanding that certification standards can vary across the globe. That’s why we go the extra mile to research and verify that our producers meet rigorous organic and bio-dynamic farming standards. For us, it’s not just about great coffee and tea — it’s about honoring the land and the people who bring it to life.

    SHIPPING & PICK UP

    We proudly offer free shipping on USA order over $35. Orders under $35 have a fixed shipping rate of $10.

    Orders are shipped via Standard Ground and typically arrive in 2 to 7 business days. Orders are typically dispatched within 24 hours (unless it's a powder day in which case - you get it).

    If you're local, or visiting town, pickup can be arranged from our Roastery Cafe (23698 US Highway 24, Minturn CO) typically within 24 hours. Just make sure you select that option at checkout.

    Bold, robust, and crafted for dark roast fans.

    Behind the Beans

    BREWED AT HIGHer STANDARDS

    Situated at 8,000 feet, Vail Mountain Coffee & Tea is one of the highest altitude coffee roasters of its size in the world. With the dry mountain air, we are able to minimize moisture absorption which, in turn, allows us to deliver a fresher, longer lasting coffee.
