When roasting coffee to your exact specifications, you could source the beans and operate the equipment yourself.

Or you could just give the orders and have someone else do the heavy lifting.

Yeah, the supervisor role suits you well.

So for doing just that, enlist Doers Coffee, a new custom roasting operation that’s taking your input, turning that into personalized beans and shipping them to your door. After a successful Kickstarter, they’re online now, taking preorders and beginning shipping next month.

First thing to do: hop on the website and poke around. When you place an order, you’ll be asked some deeply personal questions, like:

—Do you want a single-origin bean or a blend?

—Got a preferred roasting temperature and duration? Let them know.

—What’s your preferred grind setting? Choose one to suit your espresso machine, drip maker or French press. Or just go with whole beans.

—Bags, K-Cups or Nespresso pods? Yep, they’re doing all three.

After all that, just wait a few days for your beans to arrive and you’ll soon be drinking some very customized coffee that, only days earlier, was fresh, unroasted and green.

They grow up so fast...
