Farm-level sourcing
SteamDot sources coffee through a mix of direct relationships with individual farmers and partnerships with specialty green importers. While they highlight specific regions and washing stations, such as their long-standing relationship in the Guji Zone of Ethiopia, they generally do not publish the specific names of every farm for all their offerings. Their catalog includes both rotating single-origin selections and signature blends.

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.
