How does drying method impact quality?

Drying must be slow, controlled, and uniform. Sun drying, raised beds, or covered patios reduce uneven fermentation and defects. Improper drying leads to mold, quakers, or sour flavors. Only beans dried with expert care, maintaining low-defect, high-grade quality, are considered.

What is farm gate pricing and why does it matter?

Farm gate pricing is the price a farmer receives directly for their coffee before middlemen, shipping, or export fees. Paying fair farm gate prices supports sustainable farming, encourages high-quality production, and allows micro-lots to exist. My coffees come from farms and cooperatives that maintain exceptional standards at fair prices.

How are defects defined and measured?

Primary defects — insect damage, black beans, sour beans, etc. (major impact)

Secondary defects — broken beans, shells, stones, discolored beans, etc. (minor but noticeable)

Burnett Coffee eliminates all defects that can degrade cup quality, producing flawless lots.

How should I store my coffee?

Store in the original sealed bag or an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. Avoid light, heat, moisture, refrigeration, and freezing. Oxygen, light, and heat accelerate staling and degrade aromatics. Whole bean storage preserves complex flavors longer than pre-ground coffee.

Why is your JBM and Kona not scored?

My Jamaican Blue Mountain Grade 1 and Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy are imported without being submitted for official cupping evaluations. That said, both coffees are 100% authentic, meticulously sorted, and free of defects and imperfections. As two of the most prestigious and sought-after coffees in the world, they remain essential offerings in my lineup.

How fresh is my coffee when it arrives?

Each bag is roasted only after your order is placed, sealed immediately, and shipped within one business day. You receive coffee at peak freshness, preserving its flavor and aromatic profile.

How skilled is roasting top-tier coffee?

Roasting exceptional coffee is technical and precise. Each variety, elevation, and processing method requires a unique roast curve. A few seconds or a single degree of temperature can transform the cup — highlighting complexity or masking it. Burnett Coffee Roasters uses micro-batch roasting and continuous cupping to maintain the integrity of rare, high-grade lots.

What brewing methods bring out the best in these coffees?

High-scoring, defect-free coffees reveal their complexity differently depending on method:

Pour-over — highlights clarity, florals, and acidity

French press — emphasizes body and sweetness

Espresso — balances intensity with sweetness and fruit

Drip/Automatic — convenient, but less nuanced

Grind size, ratio, and water temperature should be adjusted per method for optimal extraction. Please refer to my Brewing Guide.

Why do you recommend a 7-10 day rest period?

Freshly roasted coffee goes through a natural process called degassing. Right after roasting, the beans release carbon dioxide (CO₂), which can temporarily mask the true depth of the flavor. Brewing too early often results in sharp acidity, muted sweetness, and a less balanced cup.

By allowing the whole beans to rest for about 10 days, you’re giving them time to stabilize. This resting period lets the vibrant flavors settle into harmony — acidity becomes more refined, sweetness deepens, body rounds out, and the aroma blooms fully. For high-grade specialty coffees, this step is essential to let the unique processing method, terroir, and roast profile truly shine.

In short, resting unlocks the full flavor potential of your coffee. Have a little patience after delivery — you’ll thank me later.

Pre-ground coffee can be opened and enjoyed immediately upon delivery.

Why is transparency about origin and processing important?

Knowing the origin, farm, altitude, and processing ensures authenticity and traceability. It allows you to understand the unique characteristics in the cup and validates that the coffee meets the rigorous standards promised.

Do you stamp the roast date on your bags?

Absolutely. I provide the roast date on the bottom-right corner of every back label.

Do you offer subscriptions?

I do not offer subscriptions at this time. Many of my coffees are limited in quantity and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Occasionally I am able to restock certain lots, but in some cases, once a specific lot is sold out, it will no longer be available.
