About Passenger Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100

Passenger Coffee is widely regarded by enthusiasts as a top-tier roaster, frequently mentioned alongside other highly respected names like Sey and Little Wolf. While they are highly praised for their quality, some users have expressed frustration with the lack of variety in their decaf offerings, specifically noting a reliance on Colombian Sugarcane decaf. Overall, they are considered a benchmark roaster for those pursuing high-extraction, light-roast brewing methods.
