Colectivo from Milwaukee. Best prices for really well sourced coffee. They are really a 3rd wave roaster with a starbucks-like cafe setup that allows them to sell much cheaper than others even though they are still sourcing really great single origins and small session roasting. I've tried em all and Colectivo takes the price:quality ratio hands down.
Their Brazil is super chocolatey and not bitter at all for folks who don't necessarily love coffee, but people who really do will still find interesting notes and appreciate how well it's roasted. a bit of acidity but no bitterness, full body but subtle notes, total crowd pleaser.
Colectivo is good but I wouldn't sleep on Stone Creek from Milwaukee. They retooled their cafes a decade ago to be less like Starbucks or Caribou and more of a geekier experience. Their selection is pretty baller, their educational programs are neat (https://www.stonecreekcoffee.com/public-classes/), and their devotion to sustainability is admirable, IMHO.
That's great to know. I'm definitely excited to pick up a bag
