Our coffee is in San Francisco

Thanks to Kristina at minimal, you can buy Zero Prophet Coffee in San Francisco now! Minimal is a cool Scandinavian design shop. Kristina says: “You'll find all the little things for you & your home in here. Smaller is smarter hence the name "minimal". The design aesthetic is also decidedly minimal. I handpick cool, clever, contemporary, clean lined and affordable design objects from around the world. You'll find home decor accessories and personal accents with big personalities at minimal.”

Cafe 1840 in New Milford

There are not a lot of cafes like Cafe 1840 any longer, but there should be! Owner Stacy has created a theatrical space in the old tabac/zines space in New Milford that is welcoming and unlike any other. We’re really happy to have our coffee there! Check it out here.

the pantry

We’re excited to announce that The Pantry here in Washington CT is now serving Zero Prophet Coffee! Thanks to Keith and Zoe for their enthusiasm for ZPC and for endeavoring to quaff multiple prototypes in search of the zone of bliss that is The Pantry blend. It’s a coffee meant to be enjoyed on its own or with a delicious dessert, and it will be available for purchase by the bag there as well.

We're certified Organic

We are happy to report that Zero Prophet Coffee is now a certified Organic roaster. Thanks to Baystate Organic Certifiers, which has been very helpful in our transition. What it means: all our coffee is certified organic and all practices in the roastery are certified to preserve the integrity of that designation. We are eager to get more of our coffee out there now, with the familiar USDA Organic label added to those fun bags designed by Zeb!

something steady in a time of changes & a bit of publicity

Thinking about this time of flux and uncertainty, it is reassuring to know that the supply of good coffee is strong and steady! Although the pandemic has caused incredible disruption for everyone, thanks to the perseverance of our local stores, The Smithy, New Morning Market, and the Washington Food Market, it’s still possible to find groceries (including our coffee) and stay in touch with people that way. Online sales are steady, so thanks to all our customers for dealing with the website and waiting patiently for delivery. We are now in the process of renovating an inventory room so that we can roast more coffee, and certify the roastery itself as organic. We are looking at the functionality of online sales and subscriptions, and looking forward to when it will be possible to expand distribution regionally. Lastly, big thanks to Rural Intelligence for featuring our coffee in a recent post!

barrel-aged coffee

Our first bourbon barrel-aged coffee is appearing this week on the shelf at The Smithy in New Preston. Thanks to the generosity of Litchfield Distillery, we have a fabulous Kentucky oak barrel that has imparted its virtue to fifty lbs (so far!) of fine Organic Nicaragua Jinotega coffee beans. There are notes of vanilla, toffee, and fig. We will leave the rest of the description up to you! Recommended (highly) for use as an espresso, with steamed milk. You will not be disappointed!
