Illustration of Roy

Meet the cat

Roy

Roy was Kenny’s cat in high school. Kenny’s family had other cats before him, but Roy was the first one that picked Kenny as his favorite human. Roy was one of those cats who mostly wanted to be next to you, except when it came to naps. Roy was big on taking naps together. Roy was also very musical, when Kenny would play the piano, Roy would always jump up on the bench next to him and gently purr along to the music. Roy passed away a few years ago, but his memory lives on in our hearts.

The coffee on this page is named after Roy.

The coffee

What it tastes like.

Sometimes you have a taste for something, and you MUST figure out how to make it. That’s how Robust Roy came to be. We envisioned a coffee that had a distinct chocolate note, with hints of fruit and a sweet finish. The week that we worked on creating this blend we averaged about 6 pots of coffee a day until we finally stumbled upon this blend. This is an easygoing coffee with a little bit of kick and a very pleasant finish.

You'll like it if
you want a chocolatey everyday cup with a little kick and a sweet finish.
Maybe not if
you're looking for something delicate and floral.

Getting it right

How we'd brew Roy.

Our philosophy? If it tastes good, it is good. These are some of our guidelines for how to get a great cup, but don't treat them as gospel. Treat them as a suggestion.

  • We'd start hereDrip

    Add medium grounds to the machine's filter basket, fill the reservoir with cold water, and hit start. The machine heats the water and drips it through the bed automatically, usually in about 5 minutes. If brew time is too fast, grind finer or add more grounds.

  • French Press

    Add medium-coarse ground coffee to the carafe, pour in hot water (around 200°F), and stir. Let it steep for about 4-6 minutes, then press the plunger down slowly and serve right away. Grind finer for more strength.

  • Cold Brew

    Combine coarse grounds with cold water at roughly a 1:8 ratio and stir to saturate. Steep in the fridge for 18–24 hours, then strain through a fine filter and dilute the concentrate to taste.

Start with 1 oz of coffee per 20 oz of near-boiling water

Too weak
Add coffee before you add time. Longer brewing makes it bitter, not stronger.
Too bitter
Grind a little coarser, or let the water sit thirty seconds after it boils.
