Hyperion Coffee is a specialty roastery in Ypsilanti, Michigan, founded in 2015 by Eric Mullins, Dan Kubera and Alex Merz. Named after the Greek Titan of light, the roastery was built on three pillars: relationships, science and education. Kubera roasts on a 10 kilo Ambex, sourcing directly from small independent producers including Ariel Fúnez in Honduras, with every coffee listing varietal, elevation, processing method and farm name. The team cups roughly 30 samples in a single morning session as part of their daily quality routine.
