Specialty Coffee

Strictly Hard Bean and Why It Matters

Our coffees consistently score within the specialty coffee range — that's not just specialty, it's exceptional.

High Altitude

All of our farms grow Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) Arabica coffee — the highest classification for beans grown above 4,500 feet.

Slow to Ripen

At these altitudes, cooler temperatures slow maturation by months, producing denser beans with more concentrated sugars, deeper flavor complexity, and a structure that roasts more evenly.

Chosen by Taste

Every bean is hand-picked at peak ripeness, tested for zero primary defects, and scored by the Specialty Coffee Association cupping scale by a certified Q Grader.

I often give this coffee as a hostess gift, and people LOVE it!!

The coffee is absolutely amazing and there is always something new to try. Marta is quite the connoisseur and very passionate about what she does. Always a treat to receive a new box of coffee.

Affordable, smooth, sweet, no bitterness at all. I’m still looking for something to pull better shots with but for regular coffee these beans are the best I’ve found so far.

Love the Glen Ellyn Coffee Company! The coffee is delicious and a frequent go to gift of mine for coffee lovers. I also love that they’re a small company that gives back to the community. 5 stars.

It was a nice full bodied cup of coffee. I would definitely purchase Finca Reserve beans. Thank you for the sample.

Best tasting coffee I’ve ever had. Super smooth and gets me energized for my day!

Enjoyed it!! Would order again.

I receive my shipment on a timely basis, so I don't run out,

Don Rafa is my favorite! Mellow, yummy for my first cup in the morning!

Don Rafa is always my go to. Been drinking it for 3 years

Our first encounter with GECC, the Marsellesa coffee, is a winner. The chocolate and caramel came through right away. Definitely worth a taste.
