The full story
Mexico Coatepec
Coffee from passionate small-holders on the slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental. We taste hints of clementine, chocolate, and brown sugar.
This delicious Mexican coffee comes from many small farms located on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental.
The Coatepec region is famous for its neblina (fog), making the climate humid, misty, and cool. The high annual rainfall creates lush vegetation and stable moisture levels. Combine that with the area's rich, volcanic soil, along with plenty of shade canopies, and you've got the ideal conditions for slow, even cherry maturation. In general, slower cherry maturation means higher sweetness in the cup.
Coffees from this area have a classic, balanced profile—one of the reasons Coatepec was historically considered Mexico’s “gold standard” for washed Arabicas.
This all-day sipper delivers notes of creamy chocolate, bright clementine citrus, and pleasant brown sugar sweetness. It works beautifully across all brewing methods—from pour-over and drip coffee to cold brew and espresso.

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 Mexico Coatepec 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. Mexico Coatepec 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.
