Vigilante Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Kerinci region of West Sumatra, Indonesia, sourced from the Kerinci Co-Op. It is grown at altitudes of 1200-1500 meters. The variety is Andung Sari, processed using a traditional Latin American washed and fermented method. This creates one of the cleanest cups found in the West Sumatran region. The coffee features notes of cacao nibs, dark chocolate, prune, and molasses with a velvety body. It is a dark roast that is also used as a component in the Tin Lizzie espresso blend. The coffee is obtained through direct trade, maintaining a long-term relationship with the farm.

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.
