Compass Coffee

Vanilla, Caramel, Almonds. Named after the location of the first Compass Cafe in Washington DC, 7th Street is a blend that is close to our hearts. It's light and sweet and delicious. Some people say if you close your eyes when you take a sip it tastes like a candy bar.

Warm, Smoky, Intense. This unique blend is dark and intense. When you're burning the midnight oil or working on deadline, Azimuth is the fuel for that fire. Its smoky, earthy flavor makes it a favorite of lovers of rich coffee.

Balanced, Milk Chocolate, Toasted Nuts. The Cardinal is the very first Compass blend and the house coffee at the Compass Cafe. It's smooth and mellow with a nutty caramel flavor that works for all seasons and travels well for coffee lovers on the go.

Butter, Dark Chocolate, Toasted Almonds. Full Bodied and Balanced We looked everywhere for a coffee that would be at once familiar and new. We found it in the mountains of Brazil's coffee-growing regions, where small and medium-sized farmers are currently leading a coffee renaissance. This single-origin coffee, carefully grown and harvested at its ripest, is then "honey-processed" using a combination of traditional methods and new technology. The result is a showcase of the best Brazilian coffee has to offer: medium body, balanced acidity and sweetness, with notes of dark chocolate and toasted nuts.

Blueberries, Walnuts, Juicy Body. Bright and Citrusy Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region is renowned for high altitude farms that yield small coffee beans densely packed with flavor. After harvesting, the coffee is dried for up to three weeks on raised patios under the hot African sun. Known as "natural processing," this method produces a sweet, citrusy coffee with distinct berry notes. We then peak roast the coffee to soften the bean's natural acidity and highlight it's inherent brightness.

Cinnamon, Raisin, Dates, Brown Sugar. Clean and Structured. Throughout The steep mountain slopes of Huehuetenango in the highlands of western Guatemala are the crown jewel of Central American coffee. Their diverse micro-climates and lush forests are home to countless small, family-owned plots that have been handed down for generations. The accumulated knowledge and harvesting methods of their farmers continue to yield exceptional coffee with clean, clear flavors in the cup. We then roast these single-origin beans to highlight their sweet, floral taste and natural brown-sugar finish.
