Say goodbye to harsh, acidic brews. Our coffee is balanced and low-acid for a silky, satisfying cup.
If you start with a bad bean, you'll never get a good cup. We source only high-quality, sustainably grown coffee because bean quality is the foundation of every roast we create.
Each batch is roasted to a specific level to highlight its unique character and derive the best possible flavor and aroma. Our lightest roasts are never too light, acidic nor sour tasting and our darkest roasts are never too burnt, smoky nor bitter tasting.
From the moment the beans leave the roaster, the clock is ticking. To lock in peak flavor and aroma, we package and distribute them immediately, ensuring your coffee arrives as fresh as the day it was roasted.

Brew big. Brew bold. Brew better with Verena Street®.
How to Dial In Your Percolator and Flavor
Dialing in your percolator is about control, consistency, and freshness. Start with whole beans, grind just before brewing, and make small, intentional adjustments to grind size and brew time.
Each percolator model behaves a little differently — some heat faster, circulate water more aggressively, or hold temperature more evenly. These differences change how coffee extracts. That’s why there’s no single “perfect” setting. Instead, aim to find the balance that suits your specific percolator, bean roast, and taste preference.
With a bit of testing and note-taking, you’ll discover your own “sweet spot” — that perfect combination of boldness, smoothness, and clarity that defines a well-brewed percolator coffee.
How much ground coffee do I use in a percolator?
To brew coffee in a percolator, a general guideline is to use 1 to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 ounces of water. This ratio can be adjusted based on your taste preferences and the desired strength of the coffee.
| Percolator Size | Approximate Coffee Grounds Needed |
|---|---|
| 8 cups | 8–16 tablespoons (½–1 cup) |
| 24 cups | 24–48 tablespoons (1½–3 cups) |
| 30 cups | 30–60 tablespoons (1⅞–3¾ cups) |
| 35 cups | 35–70 tablespoons (2¼–4⅓ cups) |
| 40 cups | 40–80 tablespoons (2½–5 cups) |
| 60 cups | 60–120 tablespoons (3¾–7½ cups) |
| 80 cups | 80–160 tablespoons (5–10 cups) |
| 100 cups | 100–200 tablespoons (6¼–12½ cups) |
What grind size is best for percolator coffee?
You can use most types of ground coffee in a percolator, but medium to dark roast coffees tend to perform best. These roasts withstand the longer brewing cycle and repeated water circulation typical of percolators, producing a smoother, fuller-bodied cup.
How do I keep percolator coffee from tasting bitter?
Bitterness usually comes from over-extraction or excessive heat. To avoid this:
- Use a coarse grind to slow extraction.
- Keep the water temperature below boiling (around 195–205°F / 90–96°C).
- Monitor brew time — 6–8 minutes of percolation is typically ideal.
- Clean your percolator regularly to remove oils and residue that can affect flavor.
What kind of water should I use for percolator coffee?
Use filtered or soft water to reduce mineral buildup and prevent off-flavors. Hard water can lead to scale inside the percolator and mute delicate flavor notes.
Is percolator coffee stronger than drip coffee?
Generally, yes. Percolator brewing repeatedly cycles hot water through the coffee grounds, extracting more soluble compounds and caffeine. This process creates a bolder, more intense flavor compared to drip coffee, which only passes water through the grounds once.
