Better in Every Way
You can feel good about indulging in our coffee. We’re disrupting traditional coffee practices and bringing wealth back to our hardworking farmers.
Everything We Do Is With Good Cause
Community First
We pride ourselves in uplifting unheard voices and supporting those in need. Some of our local Chicago partners include Tutoring Chicago, Center on Halsted, and many more.
Farmer Fairness
We care about where your coffee comes from, who farms it, and how they’re compensated. That’s why we partner with our hardworking farmers directly—no middlemen. We support them with above average wages, always!
Freshly Air Roasted
After carefully selecting green beans, we roast them using our patented air roasting technology. This is what makes our coffee taste fresh and clean without bitterness. Ever!
Sustainable Standards
We care about our Earth and take measures to preserve the planet while giving back to it. Sustainability is in everything we do, from our innovative roasting process down to our compostable cups.
Forever Fresh
From our coffees to our pastries, we only serve the freshest. We simply wouldn’t offer you anything else. Our all-new Kribi K-Pods are no exception.
Wholesale Heaven
We’re not just a small batch roastery—we also trade our Cameroonian Mount Oku, Banso, and Boyo coffees.

About us

Our Story
Born on a coffee farm, our founder Jacques Shalo’s coffee business was inevitable! Moreover, Shalo is dedicated to sustainably sourcing our green coffee beans directly from farms back home in Cameroon.

Air Roasting
Traditional drum roasters are bad for the planet and your coffee. So we don’t use them! Our patented air roasting process sustainably eliminates the burnt taste and bitterness often associated with coffee.
