Changes to Our Can Refill Program

As many of you may already know, we have made some changes to our can refill program. We are now weighing out the cans to 10 oz. In our retail store, we will be filling, weighing, and grinding the coffee for you. The price is still $9 a refill, or $15 a pound. As you can see in the picture below, how much volume of coffee you get is dependent on the roast of the bean. The darker roast is lighter, and fills up the can all the way.  This new policy makes the amount of coffee more equal between light and dark roast drinkers. For the light roast drinkers who still want a full can, we’re offering to price it by weight and then take the $1 off for reusing the can. You will also begin to see these changes in grocery stores that carry our bulk coffee. They will weigh the can at the register and take the $1 off there. Thank you for your continued support! We want to continue our can refill program and reward customers who reuse their can, but we must do so in a way that is sustainable for us. Please ask us questions– we are here to serve you!
