Coffees researched from Carrabassett Coffee Company

These are examples recorded during editorial research. They are not a live product feed. The coffee, lot, price, and availability may have changed. We have not necessarily brewed these coffees ourselves.

External customer, cafe, marketplace, and class ratings are not comparable measures of the quality of an individual coffee. We do not convert them into original tasting scores or brand-wide star ratings. Our independent reviews are published separately after a coffee has actually been brewed and evaluated.

I was able to verify the brand's own retail storefront in Kingfield, their two branded cafes, and their official online store; however, while the brand mentions having numerous wholesale customers (inns, cafes, and stores), they do not provide a public store locator list, so those specific third-party retail locations could not be confirmed.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Oct 17, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.
