Don Angel is grown by the Vides family in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, where they have cultivated coffee for three generations. This blend of bourbon and caturra varieties is washed processed. The bourbon contributes complex red stone fruit and rich confectionary qualities, while the caturra provides balanced mouth feel, underlying sweetness, and citrus acidity, resulting in a sophisticated cup with depth and clarity.
Metric Coffee emerged in 2013 from a partnership between Darko Arandjelovic, formerly of Caffe Streets, and Xavier Alexander, an Intelligentsia roaster since 2009. Operating from the West Fulton neighborhood of Chicago, Metric roasts on a meticulously restored 1961 Probat drum roaster, maintaining equipment that speaks to the roastery's appreciation for craft and precision. The company's recent expansion with Milli by Metric in a century old Avondale building reflects Metric's growth while staying true to its focus on quality, consistency, and ecological mindfulness in every roasted batch.
