Welcome
to
Barefoot Coffee Roasters
Our entire existence is one thing: Striving for coffee perfection. We haven't reached it yet, but we are enjoying some amazing coffee on the way. We take coffee pretty seriously and we love it. Great Coffee is its own reward. Our mega marketing message designed to take over the world is just: Great Coffee. Not very fancy or rico-suave but we like it. Barefoot keeps it simple; take great coffee, craft it with pride and passion, treat the whole coffee experience as a culinary art and operate sustainably from top to bottom. That's Barefoot. Great coffee, coffee as a culinary art and sustainability.
In our roasting, we strive for coffee perfection every day. We never rest or accept less than the best. We lie awake at night trying to figure out how to extract all the amazing flavor that is already inside the great coffee we are so lucky to be able to roast. It torments us and makes us paranoid and obsessive. We hover over the roaster, logging dozens of data points, monitoring time, temperature, heat/air flow, profile curves and predictively adjusting heat and air flow on the fly. You can see us staring intently at the beans as they tumble by our sight glass in the roaster examining color variances. We endlessly grab samples of the roasting batches and inhale deeply of the magical aroma to determine chemical reactions, pryolitic impact and flavor development. We twitch and jump racing to coax perfection from the beans we roast in small batches by hand.
We are committed to providing our customers with the best coffee, roasted to order, and shipped within 24 hours of roasting to ensure freshness and quality. We roast every week, Sunday through Thursday. Orders placed Thursday through Sunday may not ship until the following Monday, depending on our stock on hand at the end of the production week. Certain coffees (Rare Estate, Auction) are only roasted once per week and orders containing those coffees may have an additional delay to ensure our customers receive the freshest coffee possible.

Featured Product
El Salvador Finca San Jose COE #10 winner In a real coup Barefoot was able to abscond with an entire lot from the El Salvador auction! Barefoot was the exclusive winner of the #10 ranked coffee 'Finca San Jose' from Gloria Mercedes Rodriguez Fontan De Huezo. We bought the entire lot of 16 bags. This coffee was easily our top three favorite from this amazing auction. It scored only a half point behind the #1 and #2 coffees in our cuppings. It received a score of 86.33 from the international jury. It received the 8th highest price in the auction and bidding was furiously competitive. This coffee is so warmly sweet and richly layered with rich bright fruit and berries and enveloping florals.
For four generations Finca San Jose has embodied the force, faith and hope of a family of coffee producers. In 1815 Jose Maria Rodriguez and Josefina Rodriguez planted the first coffee trees with their own hands. Through the generations, the farm has passed through the hands of many committed farmers, beginning with Israel Rodriguez who, followed by Jose Maria Rodriguez cared for the farm until the most recent owner, Gloria Mercedes Rodriguez Fontan, took over. Ever the strong woman, Gloria has overcome gender barriers in an industry that has historically been the province of men and continues to personally supervise the process of cultivation. The mountain slopes of Finca San Jose are shaded by trees that help maintain and preserve the crop and the surrounding environment. In addition to the multitude of plants, the farm is home to a variety of wild animals and birds that can be seen in their natural habitat.
More than 7 families (and growing!) live on the farm earning their livelihood from working the land. There are 10 full-time workers and many more seasonal workers who aid in the harvest process. In total, between 60-75 people work on the farm. This is the third consecutive year that San Jose has participated in the Cup of Excellence, always reaching the stage of the international jury. This year, with great faith and a strong belief in the quality of their product, the farm won with a sample taken from an 8.4 hectare area.
Barefoot bought the entire lot of this coffee so the pricing is excellent! .
And in January 2008 Eugenia Chien our head roaster was invited to participate in the Women In Coffee Alliance origin trip to El Salvador. She will be visiting FInca San Jose and many other award winning women owned farms and developing our relationship further. Stay tuned to the same Barefoot channel for more offerings from Finca San Jose next year.
