Nashville’s only 100% Microlot coffee shop! We only source *seriously* incredible coffees.
No BS, just great coffee.
🏆We value coffees that are rated above 86-90+ points on the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) grading scale. This means we purchase higher priced coffees that represent their value in their flavor profiles! With us, you can drink the finest coffees in the world for just a few dollars more, and without having to pay over 10X the price to be in the “ultra-luxury” market. If you value tasting coffees natural flavor compounds, as diverse as they come, we’re for you.
🙅♂️ We do not blend cheaper coffees to appeal to a wider audience. Creating blends can be fun, but rarely is it done well with quality (and freshness) in mind. We’d rather spend our time roasting & tasting incredible, 86+ point coffees! Not 80-83’s. Who wants boring coffee that (often) just tastes like coffee? Surely not the Pit Stop Crew! We keep our green coffee fresh & seasonal, constantly changing from one country to the next simply because it tastes better that way!
🧪 If the science of extraction and coffee brewing, roasting, or growing interests you, then you’re in the right place! We’re true coffee geeks with a knack for innovation, learning, and maintaining consistent quality in everything we do.
🧠 Teaching what we’ve learned is most important to us. Our Day 1’s absolutely know this! We want to inspire, innovate, and help create the new generation of coffee professionals.
⚔️ It’s important we grow and protect our culture from the corporate investment group culture that is taking over Specialty Coffee everywhere (especially here in Nashville - we will be some of the first ones to tell you this…), harming quality, Barista’s career sustainability, and giving Specialty Coffee a mixed reputation.
🚀 Our mission is to be 100% investment-group free so we can maintain our high level of quality and execution, while fostering (and guarding) a culture of honest, hard working people who want want to learn, honor and be true to the craft of excellent coffee, and the amazing people that are supporting it.
Let’s bring the fun back into coffee, without a dull corporate-company culture! It will come back, with your support for Independent “investment-group-free” shops that truly care for coffee quality and sustainability in their industry.
🏁 Yes, because of this, great coffees can be hard to find, but it can also be so easy too, depending on where you look!
