Whiptail Coffee

Whiptail Coffee is the work of Bryan Warchol, a roaster with more than a decade of experience across drum and fluid bed machines of all sizes. Operating out of CoRo, a shared roasting facility in West Berkeley, Warchol roasts small batches profiled for consistency using Cropster software. Sourcing is deliberate and values driven, prioritizing partnerships with marginalized growers including female producers and indigenous communities. The coffees come from farms that use environmentally sustainable methods like shade growing and intercropping, sourced through transparent importers who share supply chain data. Whiptail runs on a tight weekly rhythm: roasting on Mondays, shipping on Tuesdays, keeping everything fresh and close to the process.
