Coffee Bros.

Overview

Founded in 2019 by brothers Nick and Dan Hunnewell, Coffee Bros. is a two-person specialty roaster operating out of a New York City cooperative roasting facility. They cap batches at 26.4 lbs in a 15kg machine — well under capacity — to maintain control and roast on the lighter side, and bulk all roasting and shipping into two days a week to reduce their carbon footprint.

Known for

• Two-employee small-batch operation
• Light-leaning roast philosophy on a 15kg machine run under capacity
• GrainPro green coffee sourcing
• Carbon-offset shipping with One Tree Planted and Grounds for Health partnerships
• 86+ point single-origin scoring threshold

Why it matters

A genuinely small two-person specialty operation that has built credibility through deliberate undercapacity batches, a published philosophy of process, and an active editorial blog (the '51 Best Specialty Coffee Roasters' list and brewing guides) that outsizes their roasting footprint.
