LoCo Beans® — Fresh Roasted Coffee, Inc.

LoCo News (December 31st) — As the aroma of the season fills the air, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for being partners in our journey this year. Your love for great coffee is what inspired us , and we've enjoyed bringing you the freshest roasts as well as the best coffee we can source.

May your holidays be as rich and full of flavor as your favorite brew. Here's to more cups shared, more memories made, and more perfect roasts in 2025!

Note: We will be closed on New Year’s Eve (Tuesday 12/31), but back to the silo on New Year’s Day (Wednesday 1/1) for our regular 6:30PM-9:30PM shift.

We have been roasting a new crop of the 100% Kona Natural that went through the dried-in-the-fruit “natural” process that created a crisply sweet, low-toned cup with a quiet background of acidity. These beans will be carefully roasted to preserve notes of chocolate, sweet lime, and buttery cashew nut.

Besides the Kona Natural, we have now gotten back in our inventory the Kona Prime, Screen 16+ (washed) coffee that we will be using for the Kona Blends.

P.S. Many customers have brought to our attention that they couldn’t see the Local Pickup option in the Shop page so we have added a new addition to the FAQ page on how to choose Local Pickup .

(To understand the natural process, it helps to be familiar with the two opposite poles of typical coffee processing: washed coffee and natural process. In a washed coffee, the pulp (skin), fruit, and mucilage surrounding the coffee bean are mechanically removed from the coffee cherry after it is picked from the coffee treelet. The remaining seeds within, aka coffee beans, are then washed and fermented in tanks and then dried. In a natural process, coffee is set out in the sun with the skin and flesh of the coffee fruit, also called a coffee “cherry”, still on it. This can impart particular flavors to the bean which some find fruity, complex, and interesting.)
