Current Coffees
Large flavors, not large sizes
The tastes are intense and pure.
We serve coffees that have a light roasting profile. Dark roasting can hide a multitude of defects in poorly-sourced coffees. By using coffees with a lighter roast, you taste more flavors out of each variety, as well as nuances in body and acidity otherwise masked by the char of dark roasting.
Given our roaster's commitment to in-season coffee, Volta's coffee menu changes frequently. Not only do coffees come into season at different times around the calendar, roasters occasionally sources rare micro-lot or auction lot coffees that are available in extremely limited quantities.

Volta Iced Coffees
Volta makes the base for of all our iced coffee drinks by way of a cold brewing process. We soak ground coffee and water in a container overnight and then filter the resulting concentrate. Cold brewing extracts the desirable flavor compounds (and the caffeine) but leaves behind many of the oils and about 67% of the fatty acids that give hot brewed coffee the familiar bite. Cold-brewed coffee tastes smoother and it makes a fantastic iced coffee.
