Ultra-Fresh Coffee, Roasted in Micro Batches with Purpose
Ethically sourced & roasted beans to your door in days, not weeks.
Microcosm Coffee Roasters is more than a subscription service—it's an invitation to be part of something better and evolving. We're sourcing from farms that prioritize living wages and fair trade, roasting in small batches for maximum freshness, and designing every part of our process to reduce carbon impact.

How it works
From Farm to Your Door
Step 1: Ethically Sourced
With full transparency, we source through verified ethical marketplaces, choosing farms that prioritize true living income, are led by women, or are fair trade certified. Every bean meets at least one of these standards—most meet several.
Step 2: Micro-Batch Roasted
Small-batch roasting ensures consistency, quality, and peak freshness. We roast to order, not to inventory.
Step 3: Delivered Ultra-Fresh
Your coffee arrives within days of roasting—not weeks or months. Taste the difference that this level of freshness makes.
Step 4: Evolve Together
As a founding member or subscriber, your feedback shapes our menu, our process, and our community.
This isn’t just about great coffee
Most coffee sits on shelves for weeks or months before reaching your cup. We're building something different: a subscription model that delivers ultra-fresh coffee from ethically sourced farms, designed to reduce waste and carbon impact.
Microcosm is starting small in Massachusetts as a micro-batch coffee roaster using electric roasting that reduces carbon by 87% because we believe that building something meaningful and high quality takes time, attention, and community.
Like any Kickstarter, we're building this with early supporters - not investors. Your prepayment helps us invest in equipment and ethical sourcing. In return, you get deep discounts for 6 months + 10% off forever.
Be Part of the Beginning
Like Kickstarters, we’re building this with early supporters - not investors.
We’re looking for 150 founding members to help prove there’s demand for ultra-fresh, ethical coffee. Your early support helps us invest in equipment, licensing, and infrastructure. Let us know if you want to help shape Microcosm Coffee Roasters from the ground up - or just get amazing coffee delivered to your door.

Why Massachusetts first? We're starting local to perfect operations before going nationwide. MA members help us work out the kinks; national members join once we've proven the model.
