Guatemala

Big Shoulders is a Chicago roaster with a fittingly no-nonsense, work-hard attitude. They roast fresh through the week — rotating seasonal single origins alongside year-round blends like the bold Night Shift and a dark 1848 espresso — and there's real craft behind it: head roaster Diego Guartan won the 2025 US Coffee Roasting Championship after a decade running their program. They put weight on sustainable sourcing too, including a line supporting women-owned farms in Colombia. There's a café in the city, and they ship nationwide with free delivery. A great everyday pick if you want dependable, championship-roasted specialty coffee from the Midwest.
