The Process: Thoughtful Sourcing, Intentional Roasting
When you know better, you do better.
At Spiritus Coffee, every step of our process is guided by a commitment to quality, ethics, and presence. From sourcing the finest green coffee to roasting with precision and care, we believe that coffee should be more than just a beverage—it should be an experience.
Sourcing with Purpose
We start by seeking out the highest quality coffees from farmers who share our values—those who prioritize sustainability, community well-being, and the craft of exceptional coffee cultivation. Our beans are ethically sourced, ensuring that every cup supports not only the drinker but also the hands that grew it.
- Women-Owned & Direct Trade Relationships – Our Double Washed Ethiopian coffee comes from a women-owned cooperative, supporting empowerment and economic growth. Meanwhile, our Kenyan varieties are sourced through a direct trade relationship with a family farm, allowing us to help increase farmers’ earnings by 35%.
- Unique & Rare Micro-Lots – We carefully curate specialty micro-lots for those who appreciate complex, refined flavors, seeking out rare coffees that tell a story through their taste.
Roasting with Intention
We believe that the way you do one thing is the way you do everything. That’s why we roast with the same philosophy that drives our brand—turning routine into ritual and approaching each batch with mindfulness and precision.
Once our green coffee arrives at our roastery in Lombard, IL, or our commercial kitchen in Elmhurst, we carefully develop the perfect roast profile to highlight its best flavors.
By considering a bean’s density, elevation, and processing method, we roast manually—guided by sight, smell, and taste—to bring out the most nuanced flavors. Every batch is cupped with intention, ensuring that what reaches your mug is a reflection of craftsmanship, care, and presence.
From our hands to yours—every sip is a moment worth savoring.
