Behind the beans
This is our darkest roast! We end the roast when 2nd crack is complete, and within moments this coffee becomes oily and smells of charcoal-like richness. For those who are fans of a French Roast, this coffee is similar.
We believe there is room in the third wave space for a darker roast, and we want to make sure we have you covered for when your dark roast coffee cravings hit!

What do I need to know about shipping chocolate?
Shipping chocolate is a delicate adventure - especially in summer.
Our chocolate is especially vulnerable to the effects of temperature fluctuation because we avoid the use of all stabilizers, preservatives, and fillers.
Our summer shipping protocol is currently in place:
- We only ship chocolate on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Orders placed between Thursday and Sunday will ship the following Monday.
- We occasionally make the tough call to postpone shipping on hot days. We will always update you accordingly.
- We recommend all chocolate orders are sent by USPS Priority Mail Express.
- We cannot offer refunds on chocolate shipped during the summer using USPS Ground or USPS Priority Shipping.
- While we can only offer refunds to customers who have selected USPS Priority Mail Express shipping for their chocolate, please contact us if you are unhappy in any way with your order and we’ll do what we can to make it right.
See our FAQ page for more details on chocolate and temperature!
United StatesWeekend Pour Over with Black and cream!
The first time I visited Maps for coffee and experienced the pour over cup, I knew I had to have my own set up. During the week it's French Press, but the weekends are for finding time to take the time to have an extra special cup of coffee. Opening the bag of beans, smelling the incredible aroma of fresh roasted coffee beans is truly a heartwarming moment. All of my senses come to life! Thank you, Maps. And yes, Black is my favorite!
Favorite cup of dark roast
I've spent many happy cups of coffee exploring the many of the different roasts Maps Coffee has to offer. Not only have I narrowed down which worldly origin my personal preferences lean, I've also found my favorite cup of dark roast with #black! Thanks to Vince for being passionate about coffee and talking with me about my coffee questions and curiosities!
My go to
The #Black is the richest taste for coffee anywhere. It has a slight hint of espresso flavor with a full body taste. My go to selection.
Big fan
I first tried #Black and have been a fan ever since In few months moving back to Missouri but still will drive over here to buy your coffee Appreciate you guys grinding it

I live in Tennessee and whenever I travel to KC, I stop in and pick up a few bags, hang out and have a cup and do some emails. Get the “Milk” roast, it’s the best coffee I’ve ever had.
