About Metric Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100

Metric Coffee is highly regarded within the specialty coffee community, particularly for their high-quality roasts. Users frequently praise their beans for producing exceptional, flavorful cups, with specific mentions of their ability to highlight complex notes like berry and citrus. They are also noted for providing unique brewing guidance, such as unconventional brew ratios, which users have found to result in outstanding coffee. While generally well-regarded, there is a minor mention of a quality control incident involving a foreign object found in a bag of beans.
