1802 Roasters
Cypress Park, Los Angeles, CA
1802 Roasters is a community-based artisan micro-roaster in Cypress Park, Los Angeles, roasting small batches and dialing in each coffee through roast profiling and repeated cupping rather than a fixed recipe. Sourcing runs through direct-trade importers chosen for their relationships with the farmers and cooperatives behind each lot, with an emphasis on above-market pay and environmentally responsible practices. The Cypress Ave shop doubles as a bagel counter under the Saint-Raf Bagels name, serving 1802's own roasts alongside house-baked bagels and pastries.

Third-generation, certified-organic and direct-trade farm near Persizes in Minas Gerais; agronomist owner Ricardo de Aguiar Rezende has invested in reforestation alongside the coffee operation. Chocolatey, sweet and syrupy with a big body — built for French press or espresso. Source: 1802roasters.com.
Dark chocolate, Brazil nuts, vanilla syrup
Decaffeinated via the sugar-cane process — a sugar-cane-derived ethyl acetate wash that strips caffeine while preserving flavor — sourced through Cedro Alto's direct-trade relationship with grower Juan Giraldo. Tangerine, vanilla and molasses with a bright citric acidity and full round body; works for filter, immersion or espresso. Source: 1802roasters.com.
Tangerine, chocolate, vanilla, molasses
From José Betancur Patiño's 15-acre farm in Caldono, Cauca: selectively hand-picked cherry, floated to remove damaged beans, then a 24-hour maceration before depulping and an 18-hour fermentation ahead of a 7-day raised-bed dry to 11% moisture. Exporter Banexport provides farm-management and post-harvest guidance that helps route more of the sale price back to the grower. Source: 1802roasters.com.
Cherry, raisin, cola, milk chocolate
Grown on a Fraijanes Plateau property locals call "El Chocolate," farmed by the Valenzuela family for five generations. Echo Park–based importer Kenny Becerra found this lot selling at commodity prices and brought it into the specialty market so the family sees fairer value for the work. Red fruit and chocolate with mild acidity. Source: 1802roasters.com.
Red fruits, chocolate, mild acidity
Sourced through ASPROGUATE, a Guatemalan producer association of more than 1,900 smallholders across the Sierra de las Minas with a focus on majority women-owned farms. Clean and balanced — a solid daily coffee that also holds up as espresso.

Milk chocolate, raspberry, caramel
A microlot from Finca Las Chicharras in Chiapas, where the E-Cafe Chiapas organization helped 12 small growers move from the commodity market into specialty coffee with training and raised-bed drying infrastructure. A medium roast with a heavy body — chocolate, honey and stonefruit that works across filter, immersion and espresso. Source: 1802roasters.com.
Chocolate malt, honey, stonefruit
An organic, SHB MCM Grade 1 lot from small producers (under 2 hectares each) in the mountainous San Ignacio province near the Ecuador border, farmed with traditional labor-sharing that keeps growers in close control of cultivation and post-harvest. Fruity and chocolatey — good as filter or a Pacific-Northwest-style espresso. Source: 1802roasters.com.
