The full story
Dawn Chaser
Balanced Central and South American blend with cashew nuttiness and cherry acidity. Medium roast, perfect for all brewing methods.
Dawn Chaser is a combination of washed coffees from Central and South America, crafted for those seeking an approachable cup for starting your day or enjoying any time. This crowd-pleasing blend has become a customer favorite for its creamy sweetness, pleasant acidity, and versatile flavor profile that works beautifully across all brewing methods.
The fragrance of freshly ground Dawn Chaser reveals enticing hints of stone fruit, toffee, and milk chocolate. We taste rich notes of cashew, bright cherry, and a wonderfully creamy mouthfeel that develops as the coffee cools. The blend gets increasingly sweet with hints of plum, citrus, and candied nuts.
Perfect as a morning coffee that gently wakes up your palate, or as an all-day sipper that never gets boring.

Fair questions.
Is it actually better, or just marketed better?
Judged, not self-declared. Square One has won five Good Food Awards, and every coffee is approved by a licensed Q Grader. If Dawn Chaser isn't the smoothest cup you've had all year, tell us and we make it right.
I don't have fancy gear. Will it still be good?
Yes. Dawn Chaser is built to be forgiving. A basic drip machine and the "Medium" grind option will get you a genuinely great cup. No scale, no gooseneck kettle, no homework.
Is the subscription a trap?
No. Skip, swap or cancel anytime, no fees, and we send a reminder email before every charge so nothing sneaks up on you. It's 10% off (up to 24% when you build a box) and free shipping for letting us plan our roasting, that's the whole deal.
When does it ship?
We roast five days a week and your bag is roasted to order, then shipped right after with the roast date printed on it. Subscribers always ship free. One-time orders ship free over $55.
What if I hate it?
Tell us. Enjoy it or we make it right, that's the promise. We'll swap it for something closer to your taste or sort out a refund. No interrogation.
One bag. About a dollar a cup.
