Vigilante Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, grown at 1940-2200 meters altitude on iron-rich soil by the Haro Badami Community through the Idido Cooperative. It features heirloom varieties and is organically certified. The coffee is processed using the natural method, where cherries are harvested at peak ripeness and dried with the fruit intact for 4-6 weeks, with workers turning the cherries every couple of hours for uniform drying. The cup profile is creamy, light-bodied, sweet, fruity, and clean with bright notes, featuring flavors of floral, blueberry, pecan, brown sugar, and a lingering finish.

Vigilante Coffee

Vigilante Coffee started in 2012 on Chris Vigilante's back porch in Washington, DC, with a used three kilogram Diedrich roaster. From that modest beginning, the company grew into a roasting operation now built around a 12 kilogram Loring, with head roaster Franklin Ventura shaping the roast profiles since 2014. Sourcing is personal: Vigilante visits each coffee producer directly, building multiyear relationships and participating in auctions at origin. The company works with Certified B Corp importers and pursues zero waste across its operations, using compostable bags and recyclable packaging. Vigilante earned the Slow Food DC Snail of Approval, a designation that reflects its commitment to quality, transparency, and responsible production.
