Sourcing With Purpose
Specialty Grade Coffee, Sourced with Care and Conscience
Great coffee starts at the source — and at Shelter Dog Coffee, we roast only Specialty Grade Coffee, the highest quality available, with a cupping score of 80 or above. That means every bean we use meets strict standards for flavor, aroma, and consistency.
But quality is just the beginning. We partner with importers who have deep, long-standing relationships with farmers and cooperatives, built on trust, transparency, and shared values. These relationships go beyond transactions — supporting fair pricing, sustainable farming, and long-term community investment.
Supporting Farmers. Preserving the Future.
Our importers actively invest in training, equipment, and education to help coffee farmers improve their crops, protect their land, and grow stronger businesses. When farmers thrive, communities grow stronger, and the future of specialty coffee is protected - one crop at a time.
Fresh Beans. Familiar Vibes.
Coffee is a seasonal crop, so we source fresh Specialty Grade beans year-round based on harvest cycles. Our blends remain consistent, even as the origins rotate, so your favorite flavors — whether smooth and chocolatey, bright and citrusy, or bold and rich — stay true.
Sustainable Bags. Made in the USA.
Every bag of Shelter Dog Coffee is packed in #4 recyclable bags made by Roastar, a Wisconsin-based company. They lock in freshness, reduce waste, and are made right here in the USA — so you can feel good about what’s inside and out.
Precision Roasted on American-Made Equipment
We roast every batch on a Diedrich roaster, built in the USA and designed for precision. That means we can bring out the best in each bean — highlighting its natural character and making sure every cup meets our high standards (and yours).
