Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
Anchorhead Coffee was founded by two audio engineers who started the company in 2013. The video details their journey from touring to opening a coffee shop and roasting their own coffee in a garage, eventually expanding to multiple locations and a wholesale business.
Inside this video
From UpFlip:
“I mean you can't really have a successful business without.”
“We did hire a PR firm. It was worthless.”
“We tried every single milk we could find and we switched to a substantially cheaper milk and we saved like $80,000 a year on milk.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.

- r/Coffee · 59↑ · Less fruity/acidic coffees?
I just bought some Ethiopian coffee from Anchorhead and, while I can appreciate how clean and tasty the coffee is, I don't think my palette is really ready for that kind of acidic, bright coffee yet. I've just recently got into coffee and I've only had robust, coffee, chocolaty, & caramel notes my whole life. I don't w
- r/Coffee · 40↑ · [Question] Recommendations for espresso coffee with blueberry tasting notes?
Try Anchorhead's Leviathan espresso. Then primary component is an Ethiopia Aricha, which is a black-and-blueberry bomb. The Brazil component mellows it out a bit with some nice milk chocolate notes. It's one of my favourite espressos that I've ever pulled at home.
- r/Coffee · 20↑ · First Moccamaster pot turned out excellent!
...ups brewed on their machines. Today I took delivery of a Moccamaster KB741, and immediately brewed a 6-cup (750ML) batch with 41g of freshly ground coffee from Anchorhead in Seattle. I have to say the results are stellar! I'm sure if I went through every step of making a perfect Chemex I'd have a slightly better cup

I’m not usually a fan of flavored milk drinks but Anchorhead does these tastefully.
