Lighthouse Roasters is an independent and locally owned coffee roaster that has been producing fine specialty coffees in Seattle since 1993.

This auction items includes a coffee roasting tutorial and tour of their Fremont location, coffee tasting and 5 bags 12 oz. bags of their signature blend- Roaster's Choice.

Our most popular blend, this is the coffee we use in-house for our espresso. Roaster's Choice brings together coffees from Africa, Latin America, and Indonesia to create a complex, full-bodied and versatile blend that is perfectly suited for any brewing method: drip coffee, pour over, French press, and (of course) espresso.

As a brewed coffee, it is full bodied and smooth, with a touch of port wine acidity and a sweet finish.

As an espresso, it has a pronounced toffee note, creamy body, a touch of cherry, and lots of dark chocolate in the finish.

If you are new to Lighthouse, this is a good introduction to our coffees.

About Coffee Roasting and Lighthouse Coffee

_____________________________

Coffee roasting is an art and a science, the goal of which is to take the seed of a coffee cherry and use heat and air flow to transform it into the beverage we all know and love. There are thousands of ways to go about this, and even more opinions about which way is "right" and which is "wrong." We don't worry about the trend of the moment in the coffee world; we just roast great coffee.

We spent years dialing in our roast profiles, and we are very intentional about how we maximize the flavor of each bean. We don't chase trends. Instead, our goal is to roast the coffee to the literal sweet spot, where body, flavor, and acidity are balanced, and origin character can shine.

The result is a range of coffees that all have distinctive characteristics, with a common thread of pronounced dark chocolate flavors, heavy body, toffee sweetness, and just the right amount of bite. We let the coffee speak for itself.
