A journey from seed to cup with SF’s premier coffee roaster

San Francisco is at the heart of coffee culture in America—in fact the majority of all green (unroasted) coffee shipped from around the world to the U.S. arrives at the Port of Oakland, just across the bay. At Four Barrel Coffee, we believe that a beautiful cup of coffee begins with beautifully cared-for green coffee. This is made possible through our close partnerships with farmers, importers, exporters, and everyone in between. During this experience, you’ll be immersed in the process of coffee roasting and tasting through our uniquely San Francisco lens of quality. • To awaken your senses, we’ll start with a cup of Four Barrel coffee and freshly baked pastries from our sister bakery, Loquat. • Go behind the scenes and participate in a roast cycle with Four Barrel’s head roaster, who will explain how we roast coffee using our 1957 German-made Probat roaster. • Travel the world through taste with a coffee cupping—also known as coffee tasting—and learn how origin profoundly affects coffee flavor. You’ll have the opportunity to taste your way through the entire menu and discover your favorites while learning about their origins. By the end of the visit, you’ll leave happily caffeinated with your own custom bag of Four Barrel coffee beans in hand.
