Our story

Roasted to order, never to a shelf

Kuro started with a simple frustration: most coffee spends weeks in a warehouse before it ever reaches a cup. So we built a roastery that works the other way around. We only roast what has been ordered, twice a week, in small batches.

We buy from a short list of farms and washing stations, pay well above commodity prices and return to the same producers year after year. That is how we know exactly where every bag comes from, and why it tastes the way it does.

Brew guide

Brew it the way we do

Our starting recipes for the four most popular ways to brew. Pick the matching grind when you order, or grind whole beans just before brewing.

  • Pour-over

    Ratio
    1:16
    Grind
    Medium-fine
    Time
    3 min
    Water
    200°F

    Bloom with twice the coffee weight in water for 30 seconds, then pour slowly in steady circles.

  • French press

    Ratio
    1:15
    Grind
    Coarse
    Time
    4 min
    Water
    205°F

    Break the crust at four minutes, skim off the foam, then press gently and pour right away.

  • Espresso

    Ratio
    1:2
    Grind
    Fine
    Time
    28 sec
    Water
    200°F

    Start with 18 g in and 36 g out. Grind finer if it runs fast, coarser if it tastes bitter.

  • Cold brew

    Ratio
    1:8
    Grind
    Extra coarse

    Water
    Fridge cold

    Steep overnight in the fridge, strain, then dilute one to one with water or milk.

Reviews

Poured, sipped and reordered

A few words from people who start their mornings with Kuro.

  • The Yirgacheffe genuinely tastes like jasmine tea. I did not believe the tasting notes until my first pour-over, and now it is the only coffee I reorder.

    Maya R.Portland, ORYirgacheffe Konga

  • Fresh is an understatement. My bag arrived two days after the roast date and the bloom was huge. Night Shift makes the best flat white I have made at home.

    Daniel K.Austin, TXNight Shift Espresso

  • I switched our office to the House Blend and nobody has asked for the old coffee since. Easy to brew, naturally sweet and never bitter.

Questions

Shipping, payment and everything in between

When will my order ship?

We roast every Monday and Thursday and ship within 48 hours of roasting. Standard shipping takes 3 to 5 business days and express takes 1 to 2, so most orders arrive within a week.

How does payment work?

Place your order and we will email you a secure payment link within one business day. Nothing is charged until you pay through that link, and your coffee goes into the next roast as soon as payment is confirmed.

Which grind should I choose?

Whole bean stays fresh the longest, so choose it if you have a grinder. Otherwise pick the grind for your brewer: espresso is fine, pour-over is medium-fine, French press is coarse and cold brew is extra coarse.

How fresh is the coffee?

Every bag is stamped with its roast date. Filter coffee tastes best within six weeks of roasting, and espresso blends are at their sweetest after about a week of rest.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the United States and Canada. Standard shipping is free on orders over $40, and express shipping is available on every order.

What if something is wrong with my order?

Get in touch through our contact page within 14 days of delivery and we will make it right with a replacement or a refund.
