A Better Cup of Coffee from the Grounds Up

Try a cup - you may never be satisfied with a regular cup of coffee again!
  • We use 100% organic coffee.  60% is organic fair trade sumatra takengon coffee and 40% is organic ugandan white nile coffee.  Combined, these coffee beans produce a classic mocha java blend called Bernice’s Blend.
  • Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters roasts our coffee locally.  It roasted three times a week and delivered fresh.
  • Our coffee is brewed using a state of the art brewer, called an extractor.  The extractor saturates the grounds with hot water, then pauses for over a minute to allow the grounds to expand.  The extractor completes the brewing process by pushing hot water through the grounds and extracting maximum flavor with minimal bitterness.
  • Finally, filtered water and twice as much coffee completes the brew of Bernice’s Blend.  The coffee is brewed directly into 3 liter airpots and promptly served.
  • BERNICE’S BLEND IS 100% ORGANIC, ROASTED LOCALLY, DELIVERED FRESH, BREWED STRONG & SMART. SERVED IMMEDIATELY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS PLEASURE.

    BERNICE’S PAYS TO COMPOST ALL OF OUR COFFEE GROUNDS.  THE MISSOULA URBAN DEMONSTRATION PROJECT AND THEIR “COFFEE TO COMPOST” PROGRAM SENDS VOLUNTEERS OUT ON BICYCLES TO PICK UP OUR COFFEE GROUNDS EVERY WEEK.
