Six coffees.
Eight placements.
One box.
Nine of our coffees placed at the 2026 Global Coffee Awards. This box holds six of them, eight placements between them, roasted to order in Lancaster and shipped within two business days.
The world's best coffee, worth sharing without any pretense.
Six of the nine coffees that placed, eight placements between them, judged double-blind in Houston by people who never saw our name. All six in one box, ready to give or to keep.

The Award Winners Bundle
Judged blind. Won anyway.
The Global Coffee Awards are judged double-blind. No labels, no brand names, no home-team advantage. The judges never saw our name. Nine coffees. Eleven placements came back.
Reddit doesn’t
do favors.
What the internet's harshest coffee critics say, where nobody is selling anything. Their words, with links.
Swipe to read“I’ve had a few of their coffees and they are excellent roasters with great customer service. Last year, I had their black label, Las Palmas, and I would have qualified it as Medium-Light.
If you drink coffee from some of the bigger speciality roasters, comparable to Black & White and Onyx.”
“Just received this glorious package in the mail today from Square One Roasters out of Lancaster, PA. My first pull with the Dark & Stormy decaf produced some seriously sexy crema... Excited to pull with the Thaddeus beans for my morning latte...”
“Square One. Absolute favorite...”
“Square One imo”
“Square one. Medium black coffee.”
Most award coffees are a flex. This one is a box you can actually drink.
Fancy coffee loves to win a medal and then price itself out of your morning. We did the opposite. Every coffee that placed this year is in here, at real-people prices, roasted to order the week you buy it.
Candy Bar
Our only two-medal coffee this year. Won Gold as a flat white and Bronze as a filter, which means it is good however you make it.
Colombia Patio Bonito Java
A rare Java variety off the Trujillo family's farm. Tastes like fruit candy and won Silver against single origins from everywhere.
Thaddeus
Built for espresso, placed twice. Bronze as an espresso blend, Finalist as a flat white. Plum and brown sugar the whole way down.
Deluminator
A classic-roast espresso with a little smoke and a twist of orange. Honored at the awards, built to punch through milk.
Sweet Street
The one that placed as a flat white made with plant-based milk. Cocoa and caramel that hold up in oat, almond, whatever you pour.
Dawn Chaser
The easy morning cup that still made the Finals. Cashew, cherry, and a creamy body that does not need anything added.
Winning is easy to talk about. Staying is the hard part.
We have a bean sorter. Here is what it is really for.
Here is what it does. The short version: because we can sort hard, we can keep buying from a farmer even in a year their crop comes in rough. The machine catches what needs catching, so your cup never notices, and the farmer still gets paid.
The beans that do not make the cut do not disappear. They get sold on to roasters who add flavoring.
We do not walk when a harvest has a bad year. That is the whole point of it.
Carolina's family delivers this coffee to us themselves.
Our two decafs, Dark & Stormy and Nightcap, sold on their own and not in this box, come from Carolina Posada at Mina Rica in Antioquia, Colombia. Her family delivers the coffee to our roastery themselves.
That is what direct trade actually looks like when it is real.
Roasted to order. Not roasted last spring.
Roasted to order
We roast it after you order it, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Ships within two business days
Off the roaster and into a box, fast.
Whole bean
Ships as whole bean so it holds. Grind it as you go.
A 5-time Good Food Award winner.
The Good Food Awards are one of America's most respected food awards. This is the roaster behind the box, not a one-year story.
A sampler of three, or the box of six.
