This coffee is a single-origin dark roast from Costa Rica. It is a fully washed coffee dried mechanically, made from Catuai and Caturra varieties grown at elevations between 800 and 1200 meters. The beans are roasted to an uncommonly dark level, significantly darker than French, Italian, and Key West Cuban roasts. Tasting notes include baker's chocolate and cocoa.
Coffee on the Porch is a micro roastery in Camden, Maine, founded by Dan Dishner, a retired teacher and photographer who turned a blending hobby into a small batch operation. Dishner roasts on a 5K US Roaster Corp machine, producing about ten pounds per batch from green beans sourced across roughly 20 countries. Each blend is developed through meticulous cupping and flavor profiling, with signature offerings like Mack the Knife combining six or more origins into layered compositions. Orders ship within days of roasting, and the coffee is stocked at over 40 Maine retailers, from bookshops and markets to restaurants and sailing schooners along the Midcoast.
