Roasts to order · ships in ~2d

Your bag is roasted after you order — expect a short delay before it ships, but it arrives as fresh as the roaster can make it.

About Counter Culture Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Well-regarded· sentiment 75/100

Counter Culture is widely regarded as a consistent, high-quality roaster that offers excellent value, particularly for those who buy their beans through retail channels like Whole Foods. Users frequently praise their blends, such as "Forty-Six," for espresso and filter brewing. However, the brand has faced significant criticism on Reddit regarding the net weight of their bags, with some users reporting that 12oz bags contained less than the advertised weight, leading to accusations of deceptive packaging practices.
