Based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Madcap is my roaster of choice. I get a new bag of single origin every 2 weeks, and I’m never disappointed. I brew it on my V60 pour over set up.

    I’ll definitely give them a try! They do sell weird quantities though. 4oz, 8oz, 2lb, 4lb? Most places I’ve seen sell 12oz or rarely 1lb

      Agreed, it is quite odd. I’m also used to 12oz bags, so it’s hard to make it last before the next bag comes.

    Aw yay! They’re my first favorite roaster. I owe my biggest hobby to madcap. I was back in GR recently and got to go get a few cups from there again. They had a quality dip around the start of covid because their head roaster left, but after a year or so they were right back on track. I miss the patch on their bags though!

      That’s amazing, thank you for sharing! I don’t think I got in early enough to see the patches.

      What is your current favorite roaster?

        Here’s the old bag design!

        Current favorite roaster is a very difficult to answer question lol. It’s constantly changing but I’m a really big fan right now of Nomad in Barcelona, April in Copenhagen, and Leaves in Tokyo. In the US, I love Onyx in AK and Little Wolf in MA!

        I have little wolf’s blue cupping spoon and i really like it.

          Oh that bag is a much cooler design, bring it back! You have international taste, I’m inspired. I’ll try the US-based ones first :)

            Coffee is global so technically speaking most good coffee isn’t from the States, though thats not saying the US is in any way lacking in amazing coffee. It’s just a big world!

            I think I buy about 70% foreign and 30% domestic these days. But the quality isn’t any different! I just like to get a global sampling :)

            Omg that old madcap design had more info about the coffee on it too! The sleeve on it had a lot of details which can only be found online now while the coffee is in stock!

              Great point, coffee is often inherently international! I’ll follow your lead and seek out a more global sampling

    My sister lived there for a while. This was her favorite roaster.

    She still orders madcap monthly. Definitely a great roaster!
