Coffee is more than just shoving ground up beans in a brew basket and giving it a hot bath in hopes that its water tastes semi decent. We know that adulting is hard and in order to survive adulthood that little bit of dark liquid heaven juice is about the only thing that stands between you and your sanity. Because of this, we at The Bean have taken the time to make sure that the roaster that we use is as awesome as you are and personally have tested each and every coffee that we are serving. Why? Because nasty coffee can make even the most sane person go from cuddles mc fluffer to angry hulk in .01 seconds and we don't want to do that to you. This is why our dark roast is as smooth as George Clooney and our light roast has enough caffeine in it to help you survive adulthood without having to learn the art of sleeping with your eyes open at work.
