The Mix

It’s more likely than you think. We approach coffee much like editors and publishers—selecting and finessing the very best of what’s available in upper echelons of green coffee. “The Weekly” is a reflection of numerous other interests and sensibilities with themes and topics that run the gamut. Each week we’ll feature culture, current events, and whatever else interests us. “The Weekly” aims to embody the ethos of the salad days of print media through interviews, essays, comics, exclusive excerpts and photography that will be informative, irreverent, and intriguing.

There are many roasters out there, but few with our experience or point of view. We’re aiming to make our mark with The Mix, an uncompromising blend of the best available green coffees, meticulously roasted. And we’re selling it at a price point that makes it easy to say yes to. We can try and tell you why it’s so good, but we’d much rather show you. Give us a shot.

Single origin coffees are, quite rightly, where the action is. The last decade or so of advances in the quality coffee universe have come about because of our devotion to the distinctive details of individual selections from top farms. Recognizing the unique flavors imparted by the variety of plant, the climate and terroir of the farms, and the craftsmanship of the producers has brought us very far. But, from a culinary perspective, blending opens up vast realms of possibility we can’t help but explore. The truth is that there’s not a single origin coffee anywhere that couldn’t be made even better with just a bit of judicious blending.

The United States Postal Service First Class Mail. The USPS has been here doing it’s thing since our country was in diapers and it’ll probably be the last thing still working when the rest of our nation crumbles like that post-apocalyptic movie The Postman (1997) starring Kevin Costner.

Oh heck yeah. And we make it easy too.

It depends. In our home brewing methods we’re typically using about 15g of beans for each 8oz cup of coffee—so a bag of The Mix yields roughly sixteen mugs of brew. We love giving brew tips so hit us up and let us know what methods you’re using.

There are many ways to brew coffee; some simple, some fussy. We think The Mix works well in nearly all of them—from the most precision espresso preparation to the easiest Mr. Coffee machine or your favorite manual brew method. Hit us up at hey@yesplz.coffee anytime for tips or troubleshooting. We love talking coffee.

Our product is a one-size-fits-most experience, but we recognize many people’s scenarios require more bulk, particularly larger households and office environments. There are a lot of good coffee roasters out there better equipped to serve those niches and we’ve not set out to be every customer’s end-all-bean-all experience. If you’re finding your needs exceed our current capabilities, drop us a line and we’ll happily suggest some favorite roaster colleagues to augment your arsenal.

You can select any cadence that works for you and change it or cancel anytime with no hassle. Weekly, fortnightly, every third week, monthly, or whatever suits you best. We’re easy to change, pause, or cancel without hassle.

We’ve built relationships with some of the best growers, exporters, and importers working at the vanguards of quality and sustainability, but Latin America and Africa make up the bulk of what we source. Every release of The Mix comes with Sumi’s notes about our contributing coffees.

Always delicious. The lightness or darkness of a roast is just one of many factors that affect your coffee and we encourage folks to explore broadly before deciding that only one style is correct. We’re lighter than some, darker than others; the lighter side of “medium” sounds right, but everyone is grading on different curves.

Nope, not just yet. Email us and let us know you’re interested and we’ll keep it on our to-do list.
